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!

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.

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.
