DEAD RECKONING
Story By
Christian Benavides

BLACK SCREEN. TEXT APPEARS. VOICE OVER TALKS.

V.O.
The Year is 2435, Earth has been hit with a Comet. It has been waiting for this day for almost half a century. NASA was able to create Escape PODS, in each country before the blast occurred. It saved 3 Billion People in the process but left 12 Billion dead. Embassador Uniora of The United Nation Armed Forces has sent a special task force to observe the remains. While on this mission, Captain Hayes and his team soon realize there is more to this, than they know.

BLACK SCREEN FOR SPILT SECOND.


WE SEE EYES OPEN FOR A SPLIT SECOND.


BLACK SCREEN FOR SPILT SECOND.



INT. SHIP LOUNGE


We see a couple of people soldiers sitting down. The back of the ship opens. All of them run out. We see one stay behind, he looks forward, then sideways to reveal Captain Hayes.


EXT. LANDING ZONE.​
Lieutenet Harris
Well I guess this “comet of death” sure didn’t do any damage huh sir?


Captain Hayes
No...this is all wrong. This area is suppose to be ashes, not some normal house out of 90’s. Jim, Radio in into Pavi 2, tell them to come back to the LZ.

Private Jim
Pavi 2, this is Task Force 690567. What’s your status?

He presses the button again.​

Private Jim
Do you copy Pavi 2?

Pavi 2
Were under heavy fire! *static noise* There’s unknown contacts to the north, west, south and east of our position! We can’t get out!

Captain Hayes yanks the radio from Private Jim.


Captain Hayes
Pavi 2, this is Captain Hayes. What is your position? Identify the unknown enemy immediately.

Pavi 2
Captain! There’s too many of them! They look like something out of those hieroglyphics we saw back in----OH NOOOO!!!!!

Contact is lost with Pavi 2, Captain Hayes hold the radio in disbelief of what just happened. Then the radio turns on. We hear silent breathing. All the people around look at the radio in shock. Then, connection is lost.

Captain Hayes
Harris! You find out there position pronto. Pause. Gentlemen, it going to be a long day.

EXT. ABANDONED STREET


We see a group of men walking down a road. For split second everything is quiet, then they start running down shooting at something
BLACK SCREEN. Earth as we know it.


EXT. GRASS AREA.​
Turrets are firing at an unknown enemy, we see Captain Hayes and his men shoot from a distant point.
BLACK SCREEN. Will never be the same.

INT. SHIP LOUNGE.​
Captain Hayes is addressing his men of the current status of the situation.

Captain Hayes
I’m going to give you the truth...
EXT. ROOFTOP.
Shot’s are fired at the soldiers, they keep falling one by one to the ground, many do not survive.​
Captain Hayes V.O.
There will be casualties...


A wounded private try’s to reach over for the gun right next to him, he screams in agony, then out of no where, an unknown contact stabs his hand.

Captain Hayes V.O.
Friends will be lost....

Private Jim screams in anger over his friends death.

EXT. SUNSET
An outline shadow in the far reaches shows a solider carrying another deceased, in his arm.​
Captain Hayes V.O
Winning is uncertain at this point......

BLACK SCREEN. INT. SHIP LOUNGE.

Captain Hayes
But I will fight until death brings us to our final and most deadliest hour.

INT. ABANDONED WAREHOUSE.
We see a group of solider storming into a dark room. Private Steinbeck turns on the lights, they are dimmed. There are hieroglyphics painted onto the wall. Everyone in the room is in awe to witness these drawings by there eye.

Captain Hayes
Steinbeck, Jim and Harris! Search the area for anymore of these suspicious things.

Lieutenant Harris
Sir...You may want to see this.

Captain Hayes walks into the room where harry is standing. There is chairs of humans sitting in them with wires injected into there heads. He grabs the papers around them. They are more drawings of the hieroglyphics and pyramids. The rest of the group walks in. They are all stunned to see this.

Private Jim
What are they doing to them sir?

Captain Hayes
I dont-

The lights suddenly go off. We hear noises on top of the roof. They come back on.

Captain Hayes
Grab as many documents as you can! There coming!

Everyone is racing to get all the paper they can. They run and open a door it is dark inside...3 soldiers run in there. All of them have there flashlights on, all 3 of them are killed instantly. They close the door. They bust through a window.


EXT. DARKNESS.

As they run outside into the cargo pit of the ship, Captain Hayes hear’s a noise in the distant background...he looks up to see a solider being thrown down to his feet...He grabs his gun, loads it with ammo, stares down the enemy and fires the first shot, then it goes to
