Transcript

ZERO: Would you sit down?!

DALLAS: Wait a second, wait, hold it, just stop. This was not part of the deal. They're actually shooting out there. We're talking live ammo!

MAESTRO: I don't want you to get your panties in a bind or anything, but when you joined on with Confed, didn't anyone actually tell you that getting shot at was part of the deal?

ZERO: Yeah, well we're really not sure who 'they' are yet. I heard one of Dekker's men say that the dead cats on board were more than just blown away. More like cut up into little pieces.

DALLAS: Cut up?

ZERO: Dissected. Almost ritually. Science Division's working on breaking the code on that black box that Dekker's men brought in. They asked Rachael to help, but she got her hands full bringing the ship on line. No telling how long that'll take.

CASEY: Zero said somthing about the Cats being cut up. Is there any truth to that?

HAWK: Absolute truth. Cut up into little cat chunks. Dekker's men also found a single Kilrathi word scrawled in blood on the deck. Even they were creeped out by it.

DALLAS: Wh... wh... what word?

HAWK: My Kilrathi ain't so good. Kn'thrak. Kn'thrak?

MAESTRO: What's it mean?

HAWK: It's supposed to mean 'night' or something like that.

ZERO: Darkness, actually. Void. Evil.

ANDERSON: [loudspeaker] All pilots to your ships! This is not a drill. All pilots to your ships!

Script

Shooting Script

A Wing Commander Prophecy Absolute Very Last Ultimate Final Draft Script dated April 30, 1997 and used during the game's shooting has been provided by Adam Foshko.

INT. REC ROOM (PLAYS)

Casey seated at the table with his feet up. Zero and Maestro
are present. They're all wired, excited, scared. Dallas is
pacing.

ZERO
Will you sit down?!

Dallas makes a time-out signal.

DALLAS
Wait, hold it, stop. This wasn't
part of the deal. They were
actually shooting out there. We're
talking live ammo!

Dallas parks at the bar.

MAESTRO
I don't want you to get your
panties in a bind or anything,
Mister, but when you signed on with
Confed, didn't anybody happen to
mention that getting shot at was
mart of the deal?
CASEY
Of course, we're still not sure who
"they" are yet...
ZERO
(conspiratorially)
I heard one of Dekker's men said
the dead cats on board weren't just
blown away. They were...more like
cut up into little pieces.
DALLAS
(cringing)
Cut up?
ZERO
Dissected. Almost ritually.

FEATURE big hunting knife as Hawk enters and walks towards
table. He hesitates...until Casey moves his feet to make room
for him.

HAWK
Science Division is still working
on cracking the codes on the Black
Box that Dekker brought back? (MORE)
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

HAWK (Cont'd)
They've asked Rachael to help, but
since she still has her hands full
bringing the ship on line, no
telling how long that might take.
CASEY
Zero says the Cats were...well,
pretty cut up. Any truth to that
HAWK
That's the absolute truth. Cut up
into little cat chunks. Dekker's
men also found a single Kilrathi
word scrawled in blood on the deck.
Even they were pretty creeped out
about it.

The other pilots lean in with interest as Dallas approaches from
the bar.

DALLAS
What word?
HAWK
My Kilrathi ain't so good.
Kn'thrak, I think.
MAESTRO
Kn'thrak? What's that mean?
HAWK
It's supposed to mean "nigh." or
something like that
ZERO
Darkness, actually. Void. Evil.

As they turn to look at Zero, we hear a THUD in the BG—Dallas
has passed out. Maestro glances down at him.

The SCRAMBLE ALARM SOUNDS, (All Pilots PAVO). They look up
surprised and start for the door.

12/18/96 Draft

A Wing Commander Prophecy First Draft Script dated December 18, 1996 has been provided by Billy Cain.

INT. MIDWAY REC ROOM (REQUIRED)

Casey ENTERS from Aft Door. Forward Door OPEN. Ready Room Door OPEN.
Zero, Dallas, Maestro, and Maniac are present. They're all wired, excited,
scared. Maestro is pacing:

MAESTRO
I've been hopping from one side of this
galaxy to the other and thought I'd
seen everything. What the hell was all
that out there?
CASEY
Sure wasn't Kilrathi. We're talking
Unknown Alien Aggressors here.

Dallas makes a time out signal...

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

DALLAS
Wait, hold it, stop. I didn't sign on
for no firefights with UAA's. Count me
out. No, no, not me baby.

Maniac leans over and snaps his fingers in front of Dallas.

MANIAC
Earth to pleb. Hot news flash... when
you signed on with Confed; getting shot
at was right there in the contract...
and I'm not talking fine print, either.

Hawk ENTERS, and everyone turns his way.

ZERO
Hey, Hawk... any word on when the
Chief's gonna crack the codes on that
Kat Black Box?
HAWK
She's still working on it...

As Maestro paces by, Hawk reaches out and stops him.

HAWK (CONT)
... and wearing a hole in the deck
plates won't make her work any faster.

The CAG ENTERS.

CAG
Congratulations on a job well done,
people. Grab some rest. Soon as the
AWACS locates our new friends'
homebase, it'll be pay back time.

As she EXITS, a SCRAMBLE ALARM SOUNDS and the pilots rush through the Ready
Room Door and into a SCRAMBLE SEQUENCE.
