Yo,
Some time ago I posted some data on the Serabi "Critter Competition"
where several virtual reality worlds were joined together in one arcade
game on Serabi space station. This further developed into a plot outline
that involved genitically engineering Aliens.
As a furtherance of that here is a A/V script for a proposal to
do such. People might find it interesting if they are pursuing that idea
or if they just want to frighten their players...
[If someone wants the original AmiPro document let me know and I'll
post it to them.]

FADE IN:
CROWDED ARCADE
Long lines of people queue and lights play over colourful posters of
RealVision's latest Bughunt on Rlyeh game. Excited players emerge and make
graphic gestures. Shops sell paraphaneila.
V.O.
Few people have missed the excitement generated by the recent RealVision game
released by Red Wizard. In the simulated environment of the arcade players were
armed with predictions of where current trends in current military hardware are
tending.
CUT TO:
PAN OVER a COMPUTER SIM of platoon of troops wearing battle dress and hand-held
fusion guns fashioned with the imperial starburst.
V.O. (CONT)
Even with such hardware no group of players were found that were a match for
the aliens.
CAMERA FOLLOWS the paltoon and we see them being cut to bits by aliens.
V.O. (CONT)
In keeping with Red Wizard's True-To-Life garuntee the game was assured to
strictly adhere to the defined RealVision standards of simulation. So how was
such a devestatingly powerful creation discovered?
CUT TO:
COMPUTER LINE DRAWING of the previous fight scene. After the scene is played
through it freezes on the alien which then changes slightly.
V.O. (CONT)
In every dynamic system there exists maximum points. Points of possibility
where the parameters give ideal results for the desired result. Through
infinate regression tests and self correcting simulations the idea parameters
for a creature of destruction within the RealVision simulated environment was
found.
FREEZE FRAME on final alien.
FADE TO
poster of Alien in the same pose with some players frozen in animated
converstation before it.
V.O.
The same techniques used for this game monster are not solely applicable within
the realm of Virtual Reality. Within the operation of our reality and through
the medium of genetic codes the same regression tests have produced similar
results.
FADE TO BLACK. MUSIC PLAYS.
COMPUTER GEN PIX: Deep space, a b.g. of stars. Centered is AN ALIEN, sideview,
curled into a fetallike ball.
V.O.
Humans suffer from self-centered notions as to the nature of life.
The Alien slowly uncurls. MUSICAL STING.
V.O. (CONT.)
Humans assume that alien life forms should conform to standards that match
their own, including logic and mortlity.
The Alien is uncurled in its full glory now. Slowly it rotates to face the
camera. MUSIC CONTINUES OVER.
V.O. (CONT.)
Even among humans, mortality is ignored when expedient. Why should we expect
more from an alien life form than we demand from ourselves?
The Alien stretches out its arms and legs and tail so that it becomes a parody
of the man's-reach-should-equal-his-height illustration by Da Vinci. PUSH IN
SLOWLY. The Alien expands to fill the screen.
V.O. (CONT)
If we know nothing else, we must know this about aliens: First, they will not
be like us. Secondly, truly understanding them will be almost imposible.
THE ALIEN fills the screen; DIAL DOWN MUSIC and PUSH THROUGH TO BLACK.
CUT TO:
EXT. ALIEN WORLD -- DAY -- ESTABLISHING
Here is a bleak, rocky planet. Very little greenery, vast stretches of nothing.
V.O.
From the dense exoskeleton of the alien and its demonstrated adaptbility, we
can see that it is at home even on a planet that is a harsh, desolate place.
CUT TO:
EXT. HIVE
This is a ridged, antlike mound rearing up from the cleared area around it, a
thing composed of alien spittle, laced with local plants and the exoskeletons
of alien prey.
V.O.
We know from simulation that the aliens have a queen-based hierarchy and that
they form hives to protect their eggs and young hatchlings.
INT. HIVE -- EGG CHAMBER
The giant QUEEN, monstrous egg sac attached to her rear, depositis eggs on the
floor of the chamber.
V.O.
At the proper time, drone workers provide host bodies for the newborns.
TIME CUT TO:
INT. EGG ROOM
A GROUP OF PREY BEASTS held in place by WORKER ALIENS are attached by
HATCHLINGS IN THEIR LARVAL FORM. (These are hand-shaped lumps with fingers and
tails, the latter of which wrap around the prey beasts' necks to secure them as
the ovipositors are extruded and inserted down the prey's throats. See
comp-image #3 for stock footage.)
V.O.
The parasitical breeding process is offensive to some in the military community
but completely natural for aliens living in a harsh environment.
CUT TO:
PREY BEAST
Its bellly bulges from within. It screams, but silently, (MOS).
V.O.
Birth of the next stage is violent and fatal for the host.
C.U. -- PREY'S BELLO
The skin bursts, tissue spews, and A BABY ALIEN, looking like a fat snake with
sharp teeth, emerges.
V.O. (CONT.)
The young alien chews its way forth, where there may be a battle for dominance
with other newly born aliens.
A GROUP OF BABY ALIENS
rip and tear at each other.
CUT TO:
EXT. G-CARRIER
The carrier lifdts from the planet's surface.
V.O.
Humans rely on technology to the point where they beleive it has made them
invincible. When dealing ith creatures who have been adapted to extremely
hostile evironments, such a belief can also prove dangerous.
CLOSER -- ON THE CARRIER
Clutching a strut on the carrier's underside is AN ALIEN.
V.O. (CONT)
Because an unsuited human cannot survive in the vacuum of space does not mean
that some other complex life form cannot.
INT. PATROL CRUISER -- CARGO BAY -- HIGH ANGLE
Across the bay walk TWO TROOPS.
POLL BACK TO OTS (OVER-THE-SHOULDER) -- ALIEN
It watches the troops. Drool drips from its lethal jaws.
ALIENS'S POV -- THE TROOPS
It moves in. They react in horror as it attacks. BLOOK SPLASHES, blanking the
VP.
CUT TO:
INT. AIRLOCK
The hatch opens and the Alien is ejected by the outward blast of atmosphere.
TRACK WITH IT as it flies into space, turning slowly.
V.O.
From the simulations we can deduce that they have simple imperitives that
control their lives. They kill, they breed, and they survive.
THE ALIEN
floats int he vacuum. It should be dead by human stantards, but it slowly curls
intoa fetal ball, tail wrapped around the massive claw-hammer head and spiky
body.
V.O.
Properly utailised, such aliens would make excellent warriors. Research into
the synthesis of their composition could yield advances in armour, chemical and
biological weapons, and perhaps even new ways to induce suspended animation for
frozen watch troops.
PULL BACK -- THE ALIEN
Dwindles into a tiny dot, then vanishes altogether into the cold blackness.
