(Some time had been passed since something unusual had occurred between Alan and Evelyn. The large room they were in was empty save for them. Evelyn had already gotten up. Camera POV: Evelyn wore a ragged type of revealing clothing that made her look beautiful to the extreme. She was standing now, looking down at the camera, hence she was looking at Alan.)

"What do you mean we're mates?" Alan spoke up.

"I mean that now that you've been embedded with the alien program that Erica subjected you to, you are more than compatible."

"That thing that went into my skull…" Alan's voice indicated that he was trying to go over what had happened to him moments ago when Evelyn came up to him and the next thing he knew something had made him black out. The pain and suffocation had occurred within his brain and made its way to the center of his body.

"Your genetic material has helped you withstand the effects of the alien program." Evelyn answered for him.

"'Genetic material'? and why do you say 'alien program'? You make it sound like it's some kind of computer software." Alan asked wearily as he got up and stood face to face with Evelyn.

"Like I said before, Erica helped with the process. I only came to make sure such a program was…approved, in lack of a better word. Erica had designed a unique method for humans to carry on certain creature abilities without the grotesque appearance. You see, our minds work as computers but they can only take in so much. Creatures of a kind that we have yet to understand or see thoroughly, were the ones who came up with such 'natural' and yet powerful technology. Erica had discovered that the makers of the main creatures had something to do with our existence as well. But Erica found out, we were in a way...incomplete. But now...you and I are both whole as we should have been."

"So... you've made me into some kind of ultra-freak?" Alan yelled.

"It is power! I have it and it is something I would never give up. Besides you heard what Erica said in her speech. She said "This program is the missing piece to your own DNA." What she means is that we are all created by these 'makers'. The ones she said had started the whole process millennia ago. The makers were not done with humanity. They forgot to add our power. Erica figured out the missing piece of the human puzzle."

"You are just as messed up as she is…" Alan hissed. "These things you're talking about. They can't possibly be Gods. If what you're saying isn't bullshit, how come all the other women didn't get this so-called 'program'?"

"Who's to say they won't?"

A gasp was heard. It came from behind the camera. Apparently Alan was shocked by what he just heard.

"Erica, at the moment, is busy making more programs so that all the women are assimilated as well."

"For what purpose?"

"To set a new human standard. Your seed will help us make a new human race." she said with a smug look.

"You're sick! All of you. You said before that you wanted to destroy some kind of threat. Now I figure out that you're part of it!"

"There is a threat."

"What?" Alan shook his head in trying to understand.

"There are these creatures... the ones you may have heard of. They are not fully grown and not even fully developed yet. There are countless..." Evelyn said and wandered off apparently a bit repulsed at remembering.

"How? I thought they could only-" Alan started to say but was cut off.

"When Erica and the other marine, Jo were fighting off the aliens here. A spacecraft of strange, unknown origin was in orbit around the planet. We found trace signatures of it. They had sent in several creatures to the planet. But there was something else that was sent by that very ship that was very important and construed as a great danger."

"What exactly is it?"

"It was a shipment. A large shipment of unfertilized eggs. It's basically aliens...We keep away from that area until the time is right to fight them once again."

"So Erica's making an army to fight them and once these creatures are done with, we'll be seen as powerful from all over the galaxy. That's why you can't go back to Earth. You want to show the galaxy what it is we're capable of." Alan said realizing.

"I'm glad you understand. Now as my mate-"

"I'm not your mate! I just want to get out of this weird place." (Camera POV: Alan begins to get off the circular platform when Evelyn caught up to him by jumping forward and landing in front of him.)

"And where would you go?" Evelyn said a bit cross. "You have nothing to go back to. Your life is over. Your new life has begun. At this moment, Erica is already preparing the women so you will not be able to escape!" she growled.

"So you have me surrounded..."

"One against so many. What could you possibly do that we haven't already done?"

"I don't know how...but you're wrong about everything you've heard. Nothing goes the way you want even if it already 'did' for us!" Alan growled back.

"What makes you so-"

(A loud scream was then heard. It stopped. Camera focuses on an entrance that was like a slimy tunnel. Soon several more screams were heard into one horrible background.)

"What's happening?" Evelyn asked.

"Don't you know?" Alan bit out.

(Screaming was heard once again. Loud bangings occurred from within the long walls of the large structure they were in.)

"Something tells me we need to get out of here..." Alan said a bit worriedly. "Something's happening to the rest of the women wherever they are."

"There's not supposed to be any complications. The procedure cannot possibly go wrong. Besides we can't leave."

"Why?"

"Erica has given instructions for us not to go anywhere."

Camera POV: From the entrance, the focus now shifted to the far wall on the right. Alan wasted no time and searched the area for something that he can use as a tool or weapon.

"The LOURDES!" Alan said remembering.

Camera POV: Alan walked back up to the circular platform to find Evelyn still standing yards away from the entrance.

"Evelyn...where's the LOURDES ship?"

"I told you before we are not leaving here!" she cried.

(Suddenly the entrance door revealed Erica running towards them. She had a terrified look on her face. She made her way toward the two. Camera POV: her face signaled one of desperation.)

"Something went wrong." she stated.

"All nefarious schemes tend to do so." Alan muttered.

"What happened?" Evelyn asked equally concerned.

"The women...it was not what I expected." Erica said a bit confused now. "It's horrible. So horrible. What they've turned into. They're not what they're supposed to be. It's all horrendous."

"We need to get out of here then." Alan declared. "I was sent here to look for the LOURDES. Show me where it is!"

"I haven't gone back there since-" Erica began to say until she was cut off.

(Camera POV: Scene shows Alan with the two women: Erica and Evelyn leading the way as they run toward a dark, ominous corridor.)

"We need to be careful not to make any noise. These aberrations could be anywhere." Erica whispered.

"What do they look like?" Evelyn muttered.

"It's enough to make you scream. That's all I can say." Erica said a bit hesitantly.

"How big is this cavern?" Alan began to say.

"It's a thousand acres. But apparently the section of the castle was redesigned into a more laboratory mode but now that the security protocol has been activated there's no way out but the long way." Erica said.

(Camera POV: the trio continued on the endless dark corridor in front of them. It was quiet throughout the walk.)

(A faint screech was heard and from the angle the camera turned to. It was on the other side of the cavern wall.)

"My God, what are these things?" Alan asked.

"Are they mutations or mindless, infected bloodsuckers?" Evelyn asked her.

(Camera POV: To the right of the camera, Erica could only shake her head in emphasis.)

"This is not the way it was supposed to be." Erica said turning around to face Alan.

"Funny, I see unpredictable things happen...exactly the way they're supposed to happen." Alan shrugged before they continued on unaware of a heavy breathing in back of them.
