(Camera continued to take footage of the entire conversation in the dark planet's sand sea. The group including Alan whose face remained unseen, were discussing what it was they were truly dealing with. Erica had explained something about how the creatures originated.)
"What do you mean 'primordial ooze'?" Alan asked Erica sounding outraged.
"The beginning pool of life." Evelyn stated quietly.
"Remember the engineers we've previously discussed? They were the orchestrators of practically everything in life. They created us. They also created the liquid that spawned these horrible creatures!" Erica said with much disgust.
The camera turned to Evelyn who came forward. "We have only bits and pieces of this. You see, eventually the liquid came upon contact with a human who impregnated a woman, who in turn gave birth to the first xeno-morph species. We still don't know the whole story. But it happened regardless."
Alan began to grow exasperated. "OK, at this point all of you aren't making any sense to me. First of all, I don't buy that crap that some builders or whatever you call them created us. In case you ladies have your heads in the sand(not this one rather), the big man himself..." (Camera shows a finger pointing to the sky.)"...created us!" he declared before going on.
(Camera focuses on Evelyn and Erica standing beside one another.) "Second, you say Jo Scarlett is in suspended animation. I want her out of there and I want to know what happened to my cousin on board Survivor 11." he demanded. "If you don't want to tell me, I'll go off on my own. Where is this cavern you spoke about?"
"You won't survive here on your own." Krystal pointed out. "So that makes you crazy in my book and a big turn-off."
"Huh?" Alan asked confused.
Lauren who was beside her spoke up rather anxiously. "Wait a minute! What do you mean by 'cousin'? You say you knew someone from Survivor 11?"
"Yeah. I forgot that you guys were there as well. You're going to have to tell me more about that. My cousin well...he was the oddball in the family. I don't think you knew him but..his father and mother always scolded him for not paying attention to anything crucial in his life."
"Oh my God..." Lauren understood. "Are you saying that-"
"No it can't be. You couldn't be related to him?" Krystal asked with wide eyes that suggested shock.
"My cousin's name was Richard Murphy." Alan said at last.
"NO WAY!" Lauren managed to yell out.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" Krystal screeched.
"Whoa! Calm down." (Camera turns to right where Evelyn came forward with her arms stretched out indicating that the girls calm down. The screen focused on the trio now.) What are they talking about?" she said looking at Alan.
"I honestly have no idea what they're on about." Alan said making the camera shake back and forth as he shook his own signaling his confusion.
"I knew him." Nodding, Lauren said as calmly as she could. "Rich was in my class. He was the one that brought in the video camera that day..."
"Really?" Alan asked as if he marveled at what Lauren brought up.
"Rich was mostly an outsider like you said but something happened to him. He...he went crazy because of our situation then." Lauren bit her lip and blinked back tears. "He tried to kill himself and the rest of us." she whispered sadly.
"Oh my God!" Alan cried out in disbelief,
"Unfortunately He is not here. He never was..." Erica spoke again. "Whether you want to believe us or not that the engineers are the ones that we should fear, they're coming."
"Whoa! what now?" Krystal said looking surprised.
"No, no, no, no...don't change the subject." Alan interrupted them. "I want to go to this cavern. Where is it?"
"We can't go there." Evelyn insisted.
"Why not?" Alan pleaded.
Erica sighed and answered. "When I put her there. I was unaware at the time that the engineers used that place as a hideout of sorts. When I froze Jo Scarlett, I heard afterwards about their arrival. So using my unique speed and ingenuity, I had buried Jo in the cavern ground. But nevertheless...the engineers are there. There's a possibility that they are there. And they are waiting to kill anyone that intrudes their sanctuary. Which is why we steer clear away from that area. I feel as if I'll never see my friend again."
(Camera continues to film Erica's stern expression. No words were uttered. The women apparently allowed Alan to get a handle on knowing the circumstances.)
"Then that settles it..." Alan spoke after a long pause.
"Meaning?" Krystal spoke up sounding unsure in her tone.
"We're killing them all. Every single one of them!" Alan whispered.
"Are you serious?" Lauren frowned.
(Camera has turned back to Erica. The screen zoomed in on her flawless face as Alan walked toward her quickly. She had a serious frown on her face as the camera approached her. Alan's voice was heard.)
In a desperate, excited tone, Alan patched his plan to Erica."The LOURDES. You say it's here? It's a military warship. It's got to have weapons on board! We should get them and arm themselves against them."
"Hey that sounds like a good idea!" (Camera turns to left where Evelyn agreed to what Alan had said.)
"You know they're still some weaponry there. Now if there's any shred of humanity within you,you have to help us! Help me save my friend."
Erica turned her eyes away from Alan and seem to think hard.
(Camera turns to static before it turns back on.)

(Camera is turned on showing feet walking along a long stretch of road. The footsteps were walking at an incline. Gravel practically littered the ground. The camera rose upward and the sky dark as ever began to make Alan morose.)
"It's getting dark." Alan suggested.
"We're almost there." Erica said indifferently.
"Hey..." (Camera pans right where Krystal appeared alongside Alan.)
"Oh hey." Alan said a bit emotionlessly.
"So...ummm you and Evelyn?" Krystal pulled at her left ear. "Are you guys like together-together?"
"That's kind of a personal question there. But apparently we are and I don't even know her."
"Who does?"
"Everyone hide!" Evelyn from up ahead shouted.
"What the hell is going on?" Alan asked.
"Just run!" Lauren shouted as she ran away.
(Alan continued to stay standing in his spot. During Evelyn's shouting, the camera focused on a cave wall a mile ahead. As the camera zoomed in automatically, there was an exorbitant amount of creatures like the one that attacked Alan.)
