Ghost Signals, Episode 3: Part 4.2
STEGGY (Cont., revving down as Raiven loosens her grip) Okay. Noowww, we're boned.
RAIVEN You did your best, Steggy. Slip your programming to my comm. When you hear me say the S word, hit the off-site Cloud in my lab. It should be easy to slip back in from there.
STEGGY (with last bit of juice) "S Word?" What do you mean by...? (sudden realization) Oh! Aye aye, Boss...
CUT TO:
Dez-Lei's ship moments later as it moves to a stop near the crippled Athena-5. In the background of the shot, you can see a light blue colored moon floating off without much signs of life or sentient activity.
CUT TO:
INT. COCKPIT, DEZ-LEI'S SHIP
As her ship lines up, you can see the pilot unbuckling from her seat. She reaches down and pulls out a ball that was latched on her belt. With a press of a button, the ball transforms into a mini-gun that fits on her wrist.
AC SECOND CLASS DEZ-LEI (as she slips it on her right wrist, to Aru) Keep the seat warm till I get back.
ARU (from the speakers, to AC Second Class Dez- Lei) Blessed fortunes, AC...!
AC SECOND CLASS DEZ-LEI (grins) Cheers, Aru. Shouldn't take me long...
With those last words, the AC disappears as a result of the teleportation.
CUT TO:
INT. HALLWAY, ATHENA-5- Seconds Later
Dez-Lei reappearing once more post teleportation in a now thoroughly darkened area of the A-5; the lone glow at the moment coming from her weapon gripped firmly in her right hand. She sets off a second later to the left of the screen, turning on a button on her chest that activates a light, which illuminates the area in one sudden glow.
AC SECOND CLASS DEZ-LEI (to herself) If my initial scan of the ship is right, I should be close to the ship's Command Center.
The camera follows her for a few extra moments, searching to her right and left carefully. Then, she stops searching and walking upon spying the door at the end of the hallway.
AC SECOND CLASS DEZ-LEI (excited) There!
CUT TO:
A side shot of the entrance door a minute later; the AC standing to the right of the screen. She reaches into a pocket on her suit and pulls out an iron cube, placing it like a magnet (with the same metal "CLICK" sound) on the middle of the door a second later.
The camera shifts to a shot of the door as the cube starts glowing; a stream of energy moving to the right in the direction of a panel that acts as the lock for the area. It hits the side of that panel after a few moments, triggering the sound of gears moving and turning for a few moments. Then...
The doors suddenly slide open in both directions; the iron cube shooting off one of the doors with a zip, back into the AC Second Class' hand.
INT. COMMAND CENTER, ATHENA-5- Continuous
We see the soldier slipping inside the Command Center, aiming her weapon carefully and spying the area; her light acting as an aid.
AC SECOND CLASS DEZ-LEI (commanding tone, as she slowly makes her way through the area) Reveal yourself, villain. You have been charged with breaking into a TASF base, theft of M.o.D. property, and insubordination to the dictates of the Three. If you surrender now, I promise the trial will be swift and judgment precise as--
RAIVEN (interjecting, V.O.) I'm over here!
CUT TO:
A shot of Raiven at the end of the Center, standing up from the ground in a corner of the Center; a little light emanating from her comm, illuminating the top of her head. You can see a little bit of the screen to the device, which has the "Voice Recorder" app opened.
RAIVEN (Cont., to AC Second Class Dez-Lei) I surrender!
