FACILITY SEVEN #1 Words By Noeland Collins Copyright 2000 PAGE 1- Wide shot of an iguana, perched on a rock, in the middle of the desert. Basking in the sun. CAPTION- "You're looking at a door." CAPTION- "A secret door." CAPTION- "Hidden in a place unfriendly to man." Establishing shot of a large control room. Banks of computers, and monitors, and workstations, with a controller at each. The walls around them are littered with monitors, and the only light in the room seems to come from these monitors. In a dark corner we find him. "FATHER" sits quietly, watching with no emotion, he's gaunt, wiry muscle, with several wires hooked into his head, then reaching up into the darkness. His mouth is sown shut, and there is a bar code on his forehead, just above his nose. (Think Iggy Pop) CAPTION- "This is the place where that door leads. Takamori's Facility7. A bio weapons lab buried deep within the earth. 136 levels, 85 of which are closed to human traffic. For very good reason." CAPTION- "This is a world unto itself, the workers do not leave, they have signed themselves away from the sun, and they have given this place a simple name." PAGE 2- Close up of a controller at a workstation, glancing to his left, his expression is unhappy. CAPTION- "Hell." Angle on FATHER, sitting in his "thrown", wires from his skull reaching into darkness, keypads and monitors at his fingertips, and haunting lights all around him. CAPTION- "Father RUNS facility7, every aspect, every THING is instantly sent to him, he processes the data, and responds in kind with further instructions, orders, threats, or no response at all, depending on the situation." Close up on his arm, and hand, as he types something into a keypad. There is an IV leading into his arm, and his fingernails are dried and cracked. CAPTION- "It all takes milliseconds for orders, and instructions to run these wires, these veins. It's been this way for years now." CAPTION- "However . . .." PAGE 3- Close up of a number, stenciled on a wall. 130, with smaller letters beneath it. PROCEDE NO FURTHER. CAPTION- "Things change." Shot of a large creature, strapped to an examining wall. The creature is all teeth and hate, with large claws, and many tentacles, all of which are locked down. There is an AUTODOC poking and prodding it with it's own mechanical tentacles. These are hovering droids, with several "arms" that have different instruments attached to the end of them. They are horrific in their own right. Close up of the creature's face, pulling away from a LARGE needle. CAPTION- "Genetically engineered monsters are examined, and evaluated by mechanical monsters, then sent to off world colonies for war, sport, and other endeavors. Close up, the needle is BURIED into the creature's neck, and he HOWLS in pain. Close up on a certain restraint, there is a slight crack in it. There is blood running down the wall in thin beads. The creature is straining his wrist under the restraint. CAPTION- "Sometimes, something as simple as a single loose screw can change the world." PAGE 4- The creatures arm is BUSTING FREE, slamming into the AutoDoc. The Autodoc is SLAMMING into a wall, arms breaking off, flying free, flying into the air. The creature CATCHES one of the arms, a cutting instrument Close up of FATHER, he looks a bit startled. PAGE 5- Angle on a corridor. Security droids are piling out of a door. These droids are basically hovering weapons, with a large cannon on each side, and hidden weapons inside. CAPTION- "This isn't the first time a weapon has gotten the best of an AutoDoc." The creature is free, he's severed some of his tentacles, and there is blood all over the wall. Close up on one of the tentacle, it grows back instantly. The door opens before him, and two security droids are there. PAGE 6- The creature is using the wreckage of the Autodoc to SMASH one droid into the other. CAPTION- "This IS the first time anything has gotten the best of a security droid." Close up of FATHER, a single bead of sweat runs down his face. CAPTION- "Father is scared, a human emotion he hasn't felt in a VERY long time. Panic begins to well up in his throat." The creature moving for the door. It slams shut, and CLICKS - locked. PAGE 7- The creature HITS the door, full on, and puts a huge dent in it. Angle from outside the door, another huge dent is put into it. The door FLIES off the hinges, slamming into the other side of the corridor. Close up of a security droid, his cannons FIRING. The creature is running down the dark corridor, as a HUGE hole is blown in the wall near him, and a few tentacles are blown off. PAGE 8- Father is typing away on both keyboards. Close up on a single controller, looking curiously at Father. He's a skinny geek, but he has sharp, strong eyes. CAPTION- "This is Walter 215. No other name, he was born into this world, and raised to be a controller. A high honor in HELL." Father locks eyes with him, angry. Walter recoils back to his keyboard. PAGE 9- Full page shot of a locker / equipment room, with armor, and weapons all over the walls. Six individuals are cinching up belts, strapping on weapons, and locking armor into place. Three of them are women, but they are warriors, make no mistake. Ages vary. CAPTION- "Free thinkers, soldiers trained to move quickly with strategy, and willpower. Things the Droids can be programmed with, but never fully realize." CAPTION- "Known as The Militia, they are soldiers in a never ending state of readiness. This unit has dealt with this situation before, they've destroyed hundreds of thousands of genetic monsters." CAPTION- "They have trained, and trained for this situation, some their entire lives, but only two have ever seen it for real, not the training monsters in controlled situations." PAGE 10- Several shots of weapons being loaded, and armor being clamped down. Lots of cool sound FX. Some of the armor has words, and sentences scrawled on it, stuff like an 8 ball, KILL, and ONLY THE STRONG. (By no means do you have to use those two, you get the idea though?) PAGE 11- Close up on a brute of a scarred, bitter, aging warrior. His eyes burn with cold experience as he slides on a techno gauntlet. His face is heavily scarred. CAPTION- "Known simply as 'WALL', he was raised on facility4, location- the moon. He's killed some of the most dangerous weapons we've ever created." Close up of a woman with the build of an Austrian weight lifter, and the face of an angel. She's holding a huge weapon, belt fed. CAPTION- "MEGGAN6254. The heavy weapons officer. She's only 18 years old. She's been in training for this very moment for ten of them." Close up of a young man, an arrogant smile on his lips. He's almost as pretty as Megan is. He's packing a massive weapon. CAPTION- "SAMUEL4355. Explosives, medical, and bioweapon anatomy. He's the medic for the group, and also the one designated to study the creatures created here. He knows them all, inside and out. " PAGE 12- Close up of an older black man. He's checking the chamber on a weapon. CAPTION- "ROBERT789. A soldier, no specific training. He kills what they tell him to." Angle on a smaller, but stern looking female. She's sliding rounds into a clip. CAPTION- "LAURIE3326. She's mostly a grunt, a swift, and precise killer, she is also the sniper among this unit." Mid- close up on the last member, she's a rough looking gal with a scar across her nose. Holding a high tech pistol in each hand. She's a bit older as well. CAPTION- "WENDY356. The other true combat veteran, she's a calm, cold killer. Genetically engineered for combat, Wendy is a machine." PAGE 13- Close up of a hand being held up, a bar code on it's palm. It's a skinny hand. Close up on a small monitor. It reads - " Walter215 shift over. Two hours of free time then return to quarters for sleep. " Walter takes a glance over his shoulder. Father is looking a bit frazzled, this has to be very subtle. CAPTION- "Walter is the only controller to look at Father. The others know he's there, but choose to never look AT him. It's fear, but Walter isn't afraid, he's watching." Close up of Walter, he has a smirk on his face. CAPTION- "As a result, Walter is the only one to notice that something is wrong." PAGE 14- Shot of the creature, ripping a console off the wall, sparks, and electricity flash and fly all around him. Two droids near him BLOW UP. Close up of Father, his eyes are wide, sort of a moment of horror. The creature is mostly shadow as it walks down a now dark corridor, filling with smoke. It's holding a large pipe in its hand, it's tentacles up all around him. PAGE 15- Angle on a large door, three security droids are before it, the door reads, simply, DO NOT ENTER. Shot of the creature, just around the corner of the door, we see it sort of hiding, with the door, and the droids in the background. (That make sense?) Close up on a droid, the pipe the creature was holding is PLUNGING (as if thrown) into it, sparks, and electricity shoot from the wound. The other two droids open up with tons of firepower. The creature ducking down, the tentacles wrapping around him, he is enveloped in fire. PAGE 16- WALL, and his unit are walking down a corridor, like the hand of God, all attitude, and weapons. Wall is in front, a serious looking assault rifle strapped across his chest. Their armor covers most of their bodies, save their heads, which are exposed for now. They pile into an elevator, and Wall brings a finger to his earpiece. The doors close, and the elevator starts down automatically. (Maybe illustrated this with a series of smaller panels showing the level numbers, JUST A SUGGESTION) Wall is speaking out loud now. WALL- All right, a sit rep! A single weapon is loose, and is making his way to the holding pens. No toxins, or poisons in the environment. This weapon has had no problem with wading through our droids. Were in full gear, explosives are authorized, and shoot to kill. You know your nasties, mind your lessons." Close up of Samuel. SAMUEL- If it gets any other weapons free down there, we could have a major cluster fuck. Angle on Wall, giving Samuel a sideways glance. WALL- Other units are prepping, and standing by, they'll deploy as Father deems necessary. This weapon is a breather, level 5, no projectile capabilities, we WILL contain it, or destroy it. PAGE 17- Walter is sitting in his quarters. Very small, very cluttered and lived in. It's mostly dark, and Walter is typing on a make shift keyboard, and staring at a very small screen, he's smiling like the devil. His face lit by the monitor. Angle on the rigged computer. Wires, and cables run from the monitor, to the keyboard, then into a unit on the wall marked "Food Dispenser" (looking for a cluttered feel here, and maybe LOTS of wires running form the wall) CAPTION- "Walter has a rebellious streak. This computer is very, very unauthorized. But Walter doesn't care, he's got plans." PAGE 18- The unit standing ready inside the elevator, heads still exposed. WALL- Activate headgear. Panel is a word. the familiar sound of an elevator door opening. DING. Angle from outside the elevator, the doors are open, and the Unit is fanned out a bit, weapons ready, in our face. Smoke is rolling around them dramatically. Wall is in front, identified, as they all are by a name hand written across the front of their helmets. PAGE 19- Angle on the corridor, dark, smoky. Same angle, a shape is there now. A shadow really, but obviously not the same creature we saw before. Close up on Wall. WALL- FIRE! All the units OPEN FIRE! The shape in the hall is cut to pieces. Chunks, and fluid spray everywhere, the walls around him are pelted with bullet holes. The creature looks NOTHING like the weapon we saw earlier. PAGE 20- Robert looks up. Angle on the ceiling, it's full of small creatures, almost CUTE clinging there, ready to drop. Robert brings up his weapon, and opens fire. The creatures drop on them, and Samuel is knocked down. Wall grabs the creature, and pulls it off his armor. Close up of his hand, crushing the creatures mid section. Making quite a mess. PAGE 21- Close up on a creature, it's face is a mess of hair, with beady eyes, a dot for a pupil. Pan out, the creature has it's "hands" raised up, but they are really weapons, organic missile launchers. (Do whatever ya want with the body and such.) Angle on two security droids rounding a corner. The creature opens fire. There is a massive explosion. PAGE 22- Bigger panel. The unit is silhouetted in the light of a massive explosion, bursting through a wall to their side. Samuel is hit, FULL ON by a chunk of the wall. Wall opens fire with two very large pistols. Robert is right beside him, using his rifle. Angle of the creature, it seems to be smiling. The bullets have little effect on him, even though they are going right through him. PAGE 23- The creature DIVES at the unit. Wall is there to grapple with the creature. He's yelling under his helmet. WALL- MOVE OUT!! SECURE THE CORRIDOR!!! Shot of the corridor, the rest of the unit is moving away as Wall fights the creature in the distance. Close up of Wall's chest plate as the creature punctures it with his claws. PAGE 24- Profile shot as the chest plate is RIPPED off, and flung away in a single motion. Wall brings up his rifle, and OPENS FIRE. The concussion of the point blank automatic fire knocks the creature back. Wall is running down the corridor now. The creatures hot on his tail.
