|
| |
| Two Piranhas scream into frame. They're piloted by LANCE CASEY<BR>

| Maestro accelerates, moving dangerously close to Casey.

|
| |
| :::::CASEY
| |
| ::::(V.0.)
| |
| :::Ooooohh...can't beat me that easy!
| |
|
| |
| Casey pours it on and leaves Maestro in the dust as the first<br>

| |

| INT. FLIGHT DECK
| |
|
| |
| Casey and Maestro walk away from their fighters, flight bags in<br>
| |
| hand, heading towards the DECONTAMINATION CHUTE.
| |
|
| |
| :::::MAESTRO
| |
| :::This is it, Case, the big time.

| |
|
| |
| Maestro produces a bottle.
| |
|
| |
| :::::CASEY
| |
| :::Altairian Brandy! Isn't that

| :::contraband? Where'd you get it?
| |

| :::::MAESTRO
| |
| :::What are you worried about, Casey?
| |
| :::This ain't flight school anymore.

| |
|
| |
| :::::STILETTO (OS)
| |
| :::TEN-HUT!
| |
|
| |
| They stand abruptly. Maestro's bag falls open and the bottle<br>
| |
| rolls forward across the floor- -onlyto be stopped by a black<br>
| |
| boot. A hand reaches down and picks up the bottle. They follow<br>
| |
| it from the boot...into the eyes of STILETTO. She studies the<br>
| |
| bottle for a moment.
| |
|
| |
| :::::STILETTO
| |

| INT KILRATHI TEMPLE 1
| |
|
| |
| The SOUND OF DRUMS AND ANIMALISTIC CHANTS can be heard.<BR>
| |
| Firelight from enormous stone fixtures licks and dances against the <BR>
| |
| glistening rock walls. The camera moves in closer to reveal an alter <BR>
| |
| framed by twin bas relief likenesses of Sivar and the Tivah, the Kilrathi<BR>
| |
| Wargod and His first High Priestess. Upon this alter, under an ornate <BR>
| |
| Clan tapestry punctuated by a forged standard of Sivar and other <BR>
| |
| talismans, rest the stone tablets and scrolls of the Tome of Sivar. As we <BR>
| |
| move closer, we hear:
| |
|
| |
| :::::KILRATHI PRIESTESS (VO)
| |
| :::It has been written that during
| |
| :::the ancient rule of Emperor
| |
| :::Tng’Lmar, the revered
| |
| :::prophetess, Kt’lan, enlightened
| |
| :::by a vision of Sivar, entered
| |
| :::into His tome the 8th. Prophecy;
| |
| :::which reads...
| |
|
| |
| Golden and red words are superimposed on the screen over a montage<br>
| |
| of moving extreme close-ups of the Kilrathi glyphs and the tablets on the<br>
| |
| alter. The VO continues..
| |
|
| |
| :::::KILRATHI PRIESTESS (VO)
| |
| :::"There shall come a time when
| |
| :::our faith will be tested. When
| |
| :::many will be misled by the
| |
| :::selfish motives of a ruling Clan.
| |
| :::The Great Warrior, who has
| |
| :::the heart of a Kilrathi, but is not
| |
| :::Kilrathi born comes to deliver
| |
| :::justice to the wicked. Our
| |
| :::people will be cleansed by the
| |
| :::fire that burns in the heart of
| |
| :::Kilrah herself and many will pay
| |
| :::the price for the few."
| |
|
| |
| :::Following this revelation, Kt’Lan
| |
| :::refused all offerings of
| |
| :::food or drink from her accolytes
| |
| :::and ordered them to prepare
| |
| :::her K’Shrik-Non, or death den.
| |
| :::On the third day of her fasting,
| |
| :::before she was welcomed into
| |
| :::the busom of Sivar, Kt’lan
| |
| :::dictated her final words as the
| |
| :::9th Prophecy.
| |
|
| |
| :::"As our hearts are consumed in
| |
| :::sacrifice, a sound of thunder
| |
| :::will herald the beginning of a
| |
| :::new age. Our Great Loss will
| |
| :::bring with it dark enemies of
| |
| :::our clan who will seek to feast
| |
| :::on our bones and will, like the
| |
| :::savage wind, spread to the four
| |
| :::corners of the sky and all that
| |
| :::is. But yet in this suffering, we
| |
| :::must be strong, for Sivar will
| |
| :::send another messenger who
| |
| :::shall bring redemption to our
| |
| :::race and fill us with the
| |
| :::Warriors Spirit and reunite us
| |
| :::as a people."
| |
|
| |
| A shadow of a large Kilrathi warrior comes into view, eclipsing the scene.
| |
|
| |
| :::::KILRATHI PRIESTESS (VO)
| |
| :::For generations these words
| |
| :::were passed down from one
| |
| :::Warrior clan to the next; each
| |
| :::searching for meaning and
| |
| :::portents of the prophecies. But
| |
| :::over the centuries much
| |
| :::changed and many of the
| |
| :::Clans ultimately lost touch with
| |
| :::the wisdom of the past, in favor
| |
| :::of the bloodlust and conceit of
| |
| :::the future. The faithful took
| |
| :::refuge from this, while others,
| |
| :::drunk on their power, began to
| |
| :::question the old ways. Some
| |
| :::even said that Sivar never
| |
| :::really existed and that the
| |
| :::Kilrathi race <B>was</B> the ultimate
| |
| :::power in the universe. The
| |
| :::Empire had been standing for a
| |
| :::thousands years—and it always
| |
| :::would---
| |
|
| |
| The Shadow faces upwards and lets out a loud cry. The sharp whine<br>
| |
| of a ship passes over head and a huge explosion is heard in the distance.
| |
|
| |
| Fade to White.

|
| |
| :::::KILRATHI PRIESTESS (VO)

| Titles. Camera pulls out from a the white hot core of a blazing yellow <br>
| |
| sun and drift through space. It plays against what appears to be surface <br>
| |
| of rock, which is suddenly illuminated by a tractor beam and a cutting <br>
| |
| laser. The Science Vessel Deveraux stops its work, as two smaller craft <br>
| |
| with grabber arms enter frame and pick at the loose, exposed minerals. <br>
| |
| Devearaux releases another Pod and it heads off...
| |
|
| |
| :::::DEVEREAUX COMM

| :::Magnetics off the scale. Could

| |
|
| |
| The small ship navigates through huge asteroids to reveal the shattered<br>
| |
| remains of Kilrah.<br>
| |
| Super: Kilrathi System. The SOUND OF A TRACKER can be heard.<br>
| |
| They are getting closer.
| |
|
| |
| :::::MURDOCH
| |
| :::Getting closer. If this turns out to be trash again, Deveraux—
| |
|
| |
| and closer...
| |
|

| :::::DEVERAUX
| |
| :::Look at it this way, Murdoch. If

| :::it is a rich vein, maybe we can

| :::knock off early and all go
| |
| :::home.
| |
|
| |
| And closer...
| |
|
| |
| :::::MURDOCH
| |
| :::Yeah, with a belly full of ore
| |
| :::and six months more
| |
| :::of research – Hold on, Deveraux,

| The little ship closes on a small shape adrift in space. It’s lights<br>

| |
| :::Aww, I knew it! Call off the
