Transcript

FINLEY: Recognize this? It's the transmission assembly from that Confed signal buoy you guys brought back. Ah! No touch!

CASEY: What's it doing here?

FINLEY: I needed the special comm equipment in this tie-in to test a theory.

CASEY: And?

FINLEY: And using some key codes I found in this assembly, we now have several critical pieces of the puzzle to break our Alien friend's codes.

CASEY: Sounds complicated.

FINLEY: It is. Here. This is a transmission we intercepted recently. Coded in two parts. The first part goes like this.

NEPHILIM PILOT: We have captured another of the non-aligned and are transporting it to the Centrax on Dula Seven.

CASEY: Non-aligned? What does that mean?

FINLEY: No idea. However, according to what our ugly friend just said and other data from the Kilrathi, Dula Seven was once a Kilrathi Starbase. Now the aliens occupy it.

CASEY: That's very strange.

FINLEY: You ain't seen nothin' yet. I just now finished this run on the second part of the transmission. Check it out.

CASEY: This looks almost organic.

FINLEY: On the money! Single nucleus, double-helix DNA, S-7 Ribosomes. I'd swear, if I didn't know any better, these were animal cytologic scans, er...tissue samples, Casey. Very thorough tissue samples, possibly human.

CASEY: Well, that would mean...

FINLEY: That the aliens are dissecting humans for study.

CASEY: So, the unaligned are?

FINLEY: Us.

CASEY: And Blair.

Wires go from the cart to the console. Casey approaches and
eyes the stack of disassembled components.

Recognize this?

Casey doesn't.

It's the transmitter assembly from
that Confed signal buoy you cuys
brought back.
(CONTINUED)

He reaches for it...and Finley slaps his hand away.

FINLEY (CONT.)
No touch.
CASEY
What's it doing here?
FINLEY
I needed the special comm equipment
in this tie-in to test a theory..
CASEY
And?
FINLEY
Using some key codes I found in
this assembly, we now have several
critical pieces cf the puzzle
needed to break our Alien friends'
codes.
CASEY
Sounds complicated.
FINLEY
It is. Here...this is a
transmission we intercepted
recently. Coded in two parts. The
first part goes like this

She taps a control. On the big screen, an image of an ALIEN
PILOT appears. We understand what he is saying.

ALIEN PILOT
(from screen)
We have captured another of the
non-aligned and are transporting it
to the Centrax on Dula Seven.

Finley freezes the image. Casey's visibly excted.

CASEY
Non-aligned? What does that mean?
FINLEY
No idea. However, according to
what our ugly friend just said and
other data from the Kilrathi, Dula
Seven was once a Kilrathi Starbase
and the aliens now occupy it.
CASEY
Very strange.
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: (2)

FINLEY
You ain't seen nothin' yet. I just
now finished this run on the second
part of the transmission. Check it
out...

Finley taps some keys. We see images of organic tissue and
specimen samples at very high speed.

CASEY
Seems almost organic?
FINLEY
On the money. Single nucleus,
double helix DNA, 5-7 Ribcsomes.
If I didn't know better, I'd swear
these were animal cytologic scans-

Casey looks lost. She rephrases for him.

FINLEY
Tissue samples, Casey. Very
thorough tissue sa=les...possibly
human.
CASEY
But that would mean.
FINLEY
...that the aliens are dissecting
humans for study.
CASEY
So the unaligned are.. .?
FINLEY
Us.
CASEY
And Blair.

INT. MIDWAY REC. ROOM

Casey enters to find a tired Finley hard at work on laptop.

FINLEY
Not now, Casey. I'm busy.

He approaches her work bench; examines the disassembled components stacked
there.

CASEY
Looks like the transmitter assembly
from that Confed signal buoy we brought
back...
FINLEY
(slaps his hand away)
No touch.

He reacts to an image on her console screen.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

CASEY
And you've got its data banks on
screen; reconfigured.
FINLEY
(slaps off screen)
No look.
CASEY
Come on, Aurora. Fill me in.
FINLEY
Aurora? We're on a first name basis
now?
CASEY
More than that... I hope...

She gives him a long look; there's a real charge in the air. But she faces
her screen; remembers what she's been seeing there all day. Turns serious.

FINLEY
Alright. You insisted. It’s an
intercepted transmission from our alien
friends. Coded in two parts, The first
part was this...

She taps a control. On screen, an image of the ALIEN PILOT appears. But
now, we can understand him...

ALIEN PILOT
(from screen)
We have captured another of the non-
aligned and are transporting it to the
Centrax on Dula Seven...

Finley freezes the image. Casey reacts; excited.

CASEY
Non-aligned? What does that mean?
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: (2)

FINLEY
I don’t know yet. However, according to
what our ugly friend just said and
other data from the Kilrathi, Dula
Seven is a Kilrathi Starbase that the
aliens have occupied in this system.
CASEY
Very strange.
FINLEY
Oh, you haven’t seen anything yet. I
just now finished this run on the
second part of the transmission.

Finley taps her screen. We see images of organic tissue; specimen samples.
Very high speed.

CASEY
What is it?
FINLEY
You know, if I didn’t know better I’d
swear that these look like tissue
samples. Very detailed human tissue
samples.
CASEY
Yes, but that would mean...
FINLEY
..that the aliens are disceting humans
for study. Probably captives.
CASEY
so, then the unaligned?
FINLEY
Us.
CASEY
..and Blair.
