Year 1995
[inside the cargo area of an abandoned freighter, Casey turns on the floodlight - revealing a Vakkar corpse]
Zack: Whoa! God, those things are ugly.
Ari: Why Zack, I always thought you found aliens quite... attractive.
Zack: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, I was drunk that night, you know that, and besides, you swore to me it was female.
[after the probe has been deployed]
Zack: Casey I gotta ask you: what does it feel like having your eyes on air just floating around in a little ball while the rest of you's back here with us?
Ari: [slighty annoyed] Knock it off, Zack.
Zack: [annoyed] I'm just asking Casey a question.
Ari: OK, Casey. Your guiding system's pretty much automatic so you can concentrate on the job. Most other functions are up to you.
[first lines]
Ari: Maintain formation people and keep alert. This sector's supposed to be crawling with Vakkar Spiders. Casey, anything on the scanners?
[the scanners flare up and a number of Vakkar Spiders appear out of a vortex]
[after Casey has found the first orb]
Zack: [taking the orb] Casey, what do we have here?
[gently throws it up and catches it]
Zack: Huh?
Ari: It's beautiful.
Zack: Better hold on to it.
[undoes a lock on his suit]
Zack: You never know if we could get outta here...
[pulls around a bag and puts the orb into it]
Zack: ...we could get more of some.
[the red door closes behind Ari and Zack after they enter the Cental Hub of the ship]
Zack: [slowly walks forwards, laser gun at the ready] It's some kind of Central Hub. It seems totally reinforced, do you think this would, uh, keep those krin out?
Ari: [slowly walks forwards, laser gun at the ready] I don't know, maybe? Why not stay in here and find out? Gotta steer this thing away from a star remember?
Zack: Yeah, I remember.
Ari: [points at the hexagonal doors around the Hub] The symbols over the doors might tell us what's on the other side.
[Casey hovers in front of a blue light in the middle of the centre of the Central Hub, which has beautiful white lights continuiously coming up in the shape of a fountain]
Ari: [moving forwards] Let's check this out.
Zack: [as Casey explores the outside of the unknown ship] Ari, I've never seen anything like this.
Ari: Not any human has.
[Casey goes past a tall object in the shape of a microphone on a gigantic stand]
Zack: Some kind of composit? Alloy or secreted material, did they... they build this stuff or grow it?
