TOOZIE IN THE WAREHOUSE WITH THE GYNOPHAGE

ARTHUR (V.O.)

We then arranged for a little “new employee tour” for Ms. Chen.

Toozie, again in office causal dress, is standing near the edge of tentacle range of the Gynophage, watching its tentacles waving with fascination, She is being guided by DR. LAURA MOORCOCK, who wears a white labcoat with a nameplate.

TOOZIE

And these ones that look like…

DR. MOORCOCK

(cutting Toozie off)

We call them phalloi.

TOOZIE

And they’re for…

DR. MOORCOCK

We believe their function is to inject into a prey object various biochemicals, either sedatives that will make it struggle less or enzymes that will aid in its digestion or both.

TOOZIE

(turning to Dr. Moorcock)

And it uses them on the goats you feed it?

DR. MOORCOCK

(reddening slightly, taken aback)

We have only noted their use on its…human prey.

BACK TO SCENE

HARRY

A tour?

ARTHUR

The point being that any story Ms. Chen will tell out of school about us will inevitably mix in details she learned while working here with those she deduced before working here, which will make it far easier for us to invoke the non-disclosure agreement.

HARRY

The three men laugh, then Harry turns serious as he opens the leather folder on his desk.

HARRY

We have a complete report here, and in its way it does not make our lives any easier.

Harry pulls a pair of reading glasses out of a desk drawer and puts them on, then begins reading.

HARRY

Ms. Chen is in excellent physical health, no significant issues noted. Her finances were actually pretty good even before she was employed here. And our screens turned up no mental health issues. Her only major life trauma is the loss of her parents at the age of twelve and she appears to have gone through a normal cycle of bereavement and acceptance about that. She’s not depressed, not bipolar, does not have anxiety disorder, shows no indicators of suicide risk, and has no substance abuse issues.

JOE

Must be nice to be some people.

HARRY

Certainly we can’t just write this girl off as a madwoman.

ARTHUR

So what do we do now?

HARRY

Ordinarily I’d just say we sit on her, but…

ARTHUR

But?

HARRY

The future of humanity is at stake.

(takes off his reading glasses)

We are owed a favor by someone very high up. So it is time to call the favor in by asking them to read a report and its recommendation.

INT. THE WAREHOUSE SPACE – NIGHT – TOOZIE’S DREAM

The warehouse space is lit incredibly bright and white. Toozie is wearing a white wedding gown and carrying a bouquet of flowers as she walks toward the Gynophage. Toozie’s face is veiled.

INT. THE WAREHOUSE SPACE – NIGHT – TOOZIE’S DREAM

Toozie stops near the outer edge of the tentacles’ range. A grabber tentacle reaches out and gently pulls her veil aside.

A mouth tentacle comes forward and “kises” Toozie on the lips. She returns the kiss.

INT. THE WAREHOUSE SPACE – NIGHT – TOOZIE’S DREAM

Two grabber tentacles shoot forth with great speed, and each grabs Toozie by one of the arms. They yank her upwards, about a foot off the floor.

Toozie GASPS and WHIMPERS. She opens her mouth as if to scream, but a phallic tentacle shoots its way forward and into her mouth. It thrusts back and forth in a rape-like act. Toozie GURGLES as if trying to speak but gagged.

A cutter tentacle stabs Toozie in the lower abdomen above the right hip, then slices across her abdomen, making a deep incision across Toozie’s body. Blood and then viscera spill out of Toozie, their redness vivid against the white surroundings.

A hard gurgle as Toozie fights but fails to scream.
