PM 08:11:07
(Sporadic images occur)
PM 08:11:16
(A sign of a struggle between several people including Alan, the cameraman.)
PM 08:11:24
(Screen showing the layout of the cavern ground. Camera is then rolled around showing the dark cavern ceiling.)
PM 08:11:30
(Camera now shows both women who assaulted Alan, both of them stood with their hands on their hips. One of them had put their rifle back around her shoulder. Heavy breathing was issued by Alan.)
"Just stop!" Evelyn's hand was shown from the right portion of the screen indicating that they stop.
"What the hell?" Alan asked both of them. (Camera was now properly proportioned looking at the whole group.)
"Me and Lauren came as soon as we heard that this place was being compromised. We heard loud voices. We thought you were a threat." the girl Krystal said a bit alarmed as she looked at the camera.
"Yeah, you're like the only guy here." her friend Lauren said dusting herself off.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize all males were dangerous to you." Alan's voice replied.
"Oh and he has sarcasm. What a plus." Krystal said rolling her eyes.
"You guys are...You guys can't be..." Alan's voice struggled to say.
"Yes. They're the original survivors of Survivor 11." Erica said coming forward.
A long pause was issued. It took a while for Alan to respond."I take it this is a long story right?"
"Yeah it is..." Erica nodded. But she was cut off when a snarl came from the other end of the cavern.
(Cavern points at dark end of tunnel.)
"What the hell is that?" Alan whispered.
"It's a drone!" Evelyn replied.
"Let's move then!" Erica stated.
"We'll keep cover!" Krystal said and she and Lauren took out their rifles from their shoulders.
(Camera is turned around and faced the other end toward Erica and Evelyn whom were already running. Shots were fired from behind and thus, the camera was turned back around to get a view of what was happening. Indeed, the two girls were firing their weapons at an unknown being. The creature was nowhere to be seen. Alan turned the camera back around.)
(Camera is suddenly out of focus and Alan falls to the ground as the ceiling burst open revealing a hole in which a creature came out. The creature with its black texture and long phallic head snarled at a horrified Alan, who was pinned to the ground by it.)
"Help! Help! Get it off! Get it off!" he cried out.
(Creature's mouth was dripping with disgusting saliva and as it tossed and turned trying to bite Alan, a sliver of it landed on the lens, blocking a corner of the screen.)
(Shots were issued.)
(Alan got out of the hold he was in and saw to his amazement that the creature's head had a hole in the center of its phallic forehead.)
(The camera arose from the hand pulling up Alan's own. The hand belonged to Erica, whose face was impassive. Loud firing continued brought on by the two girls Alan met. Evelyn came up to Erica's right side.)
"There's swarms of them coming at every corner in this territory. We have no choice, we have to go to the forbidden site." Evelyn said frantically.
"What is that?" Alan asked.
"I guess it's time we showed you what you wanted to see." Erica stated.
(Evelyn grabbed Alan's left shoulder and helped him move forward.)
"Hey don't mess with the camera!" Alan said as the camera began to lose focus.
"Oh, stop worrying about that damn thing." she said as she ran with him.
(Camera then changed to static.)
SEP 18 2070
PM 08:33:43
(Camera shows a red sky with dark clouds moving sluggishly. Hills of rock and stone alike were shown ahead over at the horizon. Winds picked up making the frame shake. Alan breathed out in frustration. The camera rotated to face the group standing on top of a floor of limitless sand, the quality on the screen improved on Erica who was at the center.)
"You told me my ex-girlfriend was dead. You say her body is here somewhere?" Alan said trying to control the tone of his voice.
Erica spoke as she appeared collective once more."She's preserved in a stasis similar to that of cryo-sleep. There's a cavern on this planet that's unlike any other. This cavern has an unusual low temperature and over a time I found it to be unusual considering the high temperature that most of this planet resonates. Like I said, I was appalled at how a cavern can sustain such low temperature to the point of literally freezing someone. Lo and behold...the solution would be because it was intentional. Someone or something made that cavern to be cold."
"So basically, she put Jo Scarlett there once she died. Erica wanted to honor her and the last thing she wanted was for her body to decompose." Evelyn said.
"Humans can only live for so long." Erica shook her head as if in contempt.
"Hey!" Lauren said beside her offended.
"No offense. Which is why I originally plan to resurrect her. However, failure was apparent." Erica said a bit disappointedly.
"Well, no one should live forever." Alan pointed out.
"You would give away immortality that easily, Mr. Jameson?" Erica raised an eyebrow.
"Yes I would." Alan whispered.
"Well I don't know whether to like you or continue hating you." Krystal spoke to him.
"Meaning?" Alan said bitterly.
"Meaning that I agree with you that no human should live forever either. I keep telling Robo-girl..."
(Camera now pans to Erica who held a looked derisive at what was being talked about.)
"No one should have everything. I mean seriously, an immortal person who has everything will eventually wished he would have had nothing."
"Alright enough with what I'm sure would be an interesting philosophical debate but shouldn't we be talking about something a little bit more engaging like what the hell are we going to do now?" Krystal said.
"So that is what you meant...when you say you'd rather die isn't it, Mr. Jameson?" Erica said interrupting Krystal.
(Alan didn't speak from behind the camera and his silence indicated that he didn't want to answer her question and he agreed with Krystal that they should take the necessary steps to ensure their own survival.)
"Let's get back to the main issue. You say you had a son?" Alan said changing the subject.
"I did and even to this day I regret having it."
"But you said you can control it. Explain to Mr. Jameson the current circumstances." Evelyn suggested.
Erica for someone who didn't breathe gave a long breath outward as if she couldn't articulate well anymore. "This creature that was born in me should not have been possible. But luckily since I'm...it's mother." she said with disdain before she continued. "It can obey me. At the moment...it is asleep but for how long, even I don't know."
Krystal who hadn't spoken in a while finally came up to the screen. "Look I'll tell you what's going on and I apologize for the exposition that I'm about to give away..." she said sarcastically. "She gave birth to a new xeno that's half-alien, half-robot that in turn created other more half-alien, half-robot thing-a-mabobs and now she has this idea of making humans more enhanced so that we can finally take them down. There, the end." she said bitterly.
"Are you serious?" Jameson said. (The camera pointed at Erica again, who nodded.)
"That was very well explained." she said bitterly at Krystal.
"Thank you, Mr. Spock." Krystal mocked.
"Mr. Spock?..." Evelyn said confused.
Alan from behind the camera tried to explain in a bored manner. "He's this character on this one sci-fi show from long ago..."
"Yes! Finally someone who understands all the things we've been talking about." Lauren pointed at the camera with her index finger and nodded enthusiastically.
"But still! This thing you gave me and Evelyn!" Alan yelled. "What the hell is it? A super-human serum?"
"In a way, yes. Your body hasn't metabolized it yet. In other words, it'll take time before the serum rewrites your entire DNA but once it does, you'll finally be ready!" Erica declared.
"At first, we had to test it on you first because men are supposedly 'number one' and once the serum proved effective, it was the girls' turn..." Lauren said mockingly.
"But it worked on me!" Evelyn said pointing at herself in emphasis. "Why didn't it work for the rest of the women?"
"I don't know. This is highly irregular." Erica frowned.
"Tell me this isn't another one of your bullshit statements..." Lauren said shaking her head in disbelief. "That you really don't know how something like this happened?"
"What made them act this way?"
"The other reason for all this. What made the xeno-morphs in the first place." Evelyn said.
"It all began with the BPO."
"The what?" Alan said restless.
Erica looked hesitant.
"Go ahead tell him. Tell him how life for these creatures came to be." Krystal said crossing her arms to her chest.
"The Black Primordial Ooze." a reluctant Erica merely stated.
Author's Note: I know. I know. It's late. I apologize but I'm so caught up with work and school work that I haven't had time for this story in quite a while. Obviously there's references to Prometheus in this which let me say again, has completely messed me up on the whole ALIEN physiology and history. Hopefully I'll continue writing. But for those who have actually kept reading, thanks!
