Character Design Note: Dr. Xu is a slender, middle-aged Asian man. His hair is visibly graying and receding. He normally wears a standard-issue white labcoat.

Dr. Xu: Dr. Montclair, I would like to introduce Special Agent Macneil.

Hope: Pleasure.

Macneil: Likewise, Dr. Montclair.

Panel Two: Hope, Macneil, and Dr. Xu standing side-by-side inside some sort of elevator. All should be wearing some sort of identification badges.

Hope: You people do counter-bioterrorism, right? I’m a bit mystified as to what you need a cognitive neuroscientist for.

Dr. Xu: You’ll soon see, Dr. Montclair.

Macneil: We’ll have to ask you to keep it in strict confidence of course.

Panel Three: Close-up on Agent Macneil’s face. It is deeply lined, showing both fatigue and worry.

Macneil: We wouldn’t want to start a panic, after all.

Grace reduced to her bones, and...

Script

PAGE 18 (Four panels)

Panel One: A smaller oval of illumination from a police flashlight. In the middle of the light lies a human femur.

Panel Two: A look up, as if from below, at the faces of the two policemen. The faces are illuminated as if from below by the reflected light from their flashlights. The faces register shock and horror.

Policeman #1: Jesus…

Policeman #2: We need backup.

Panel Three: Men in hazmat suits and carrying assault rifles jumping out of the back of a van.

Panel Four: View from above of the armed men in their hazmat suits making their way across an overgrown field. They are illuminated from above by a large circle of light, as if projected downward by a helicopter’s spotlight.
