INT. CONTROL ROOM – DAY

Ernie scoots to one of the monitors.

ERNIE

It has made a connection.

A page of Internet information appears on one of the monitors. Then on another. Then another.

ROSALIE

It’s looking at things…it’s curious about us.

The speed of pages flashing by on the monitors grows ever faster throughout the scene.

Ernie is looking at a black screen full of text scrolling by.

ERNIE

It’s looking at scientific and technical information…anatomy, physiology, biochemistry.

(frowns)

Wait…not only that. It’s also downloaded a couple of classic novels…news, articles on history. We have one curious beast here.

JOE

Any porn?

ERNIE

What?

JOE

Because there’s this Japanese anime thing that I could imagine it being into…

ROSALIE

(in a tone of sharp reproof)

Joe!

JOE

(hands up in a gesture of mock surrender)

Sorry…just asking questions…

Rosalie walks around the room gazing at the monitors with an expression of wonder. Then she looks out the window down at the Gynophage.

The Gynophage’s main siphon is standing straight up, and all its tentacles are waving in the air at full extension.
