(Smith nods as he turns and begins walking to the near by teminal where Susan was makeing her recording)

Smith - i think we need to sit and think about what to do next and figue out just what it is that we know so far about what is happening here...

Susan - agreed... Ashcroft (says Susan over her shoulder at Aschcroft as she turns to face him and begins to walk towards him)

Ashcroft - yes?

Susan - I need to ask you some qestions and I want you to be completely honost with me understand?

Ashcroft - yes...

Susan - How did you get here to this island... you said before you can't remember much... but we need to know what yuo can remember... please it's important if we are to survive this...

(Smith walks back to the terminal where Susan had been making her recording as Ashcroft begins to answer Susan saying)

Ashcroft - I... I remember... ahhhh!! (Ashcroft begins to scream hands on his head as he falls to the floor hard as thoughts and images begin to rush through brain and pain erupts in his head)

(Susan rushes down and places an arm around him as he begins to speak frantically saying)

Ashcroft - I remember... (Aschroft's mind begins to flash back to moments already past) pain... people screaming... the eyes... it's dark... somethings coming... NO STOP... PLEASE... NO DONT HURT HIM... PLEASE... STOP... NEVE GETTING HOME... NEVER GETTING HOME... (Ashcroft's screams begin to slow as Ashcorft falls unconcouis)

Susan - Ashcroft wake up... wake up... (says Susan after several minutes of attempting to revive Ashcroft... finnally Ashcroft reawakens saying)

Ashcroft - wha... what happened...

Susan - you passed out...

(Smith looks over his shoulder at the other two and says)

Smith - hey come have a look at this... I found something...

(Susan and Ashcroft make thier way towards Smith as Susan says)

Susan - what is it

Smith - a file... a journal entry to be exact... followed by a series of sealed research data files...

Susan - made by who...

Smith - it appears my good Susan... that we have been lied to... some one else was sent to this island before us... the journal entry was left by a man... a man useing the name Gabriel James Ashcroft... are you sure you dont remember anything (says Smith turning to Ashcroft)...

Ashcroft - me... me... play it... I need to see this...

(Smith nods as he activates the video which begins to play on the terminal screen. The video begins with a young man talking frantically saying as explosions ring out of in the distance and alarms appear to be going off all around him)

Past/Recording Ashcroft - Hello my Name is Dr. Gabriel James Ashcroft... me and my team where sent her ten days ago to this island to research the mysterious temple located here in this Island's epicenter... this island is amazing... i have included all of our research data on it and it's unique features and properties at the end of this recording... i just pray that the unfortinate soul who sees this finds the information useful... the others here are all already dead and i am the last one left... time is short for me and so I fear I must go now... to whoever finds this you can find all the info you need about what has happened here and all the research we have collected on this island and the temple enclosed in the files following this recording... and incase i dont survive... I just wanna say... I'm sorry for all that have done here... I am affraid we have opened the gates of Hell and unleashed it's darkness upon this world... i am going to die here i know that now... fore such is the only fate I deserve for what I have done... what we have done... may our children forgive us... fore surley we have pathed the way for the end of days...
