TC 248 Script

248

lyr, erka, kerwik and kieera flying by cliffs towards the cave reamer wanted to see on his and del’s roadtrip to the east coast. 

Lyr: you’re sure it was Reamer you saw? It wasn’t just another pompous Eagle -

Kieera: how many Imperial Eagles do you know with the power to arrest an Osprey? Or with a stick so far up his ass you could see it from space -

erka to Kerwik: are you sure it was smart getting her involved in this too?

ker: as opposed to what - you two keeping me in a janitor’s closet for the rest of my life? If you think the Resistance wants you trailing Reamer then they’ll want to know what he was doing here on his little road trip. 

Lyr: just because you somehow managed to sus out some of the shit going on on this Island doesn’t mean you can invite yourself along on our missions -

ker: please, I probably know more than you about it at this point. 

Lyr: you didnt know about the Resistance until we let it slip while you were trying to convince us to let you help -

ker: and what great spies you are for dropping that bomb -

Lyr: you were saying all this shit, we thought you knew about that too -

kieera: will you two stop, the damage is done. Also, we’ve arrived.

everyone looking at cave

erka: that’s it? some creepy cave? 

kieera: some of the kids saw them stop and stare at this for a bit before leaving. said he checked his tablet a few times, as if confirming the location or something. 

ker: this entire Island’s covered in tunnel systems, if this one’s part of that then it could lead anywhere. 

erka: do we…?

kieera: i want answers. we’re going in.

lyr texting on red phone to sparrow leader : possible backup needed at coordinates: 

Lyr: ive messaged the coordinates to the Sparrow boss in case we need back up

erka: do you really think we’ll need it?

Lyr: if it’s something Reamer’s interested in, I’m not chancing it, are you?

(enter cave)

erka: i reeeally don’t like this. how long is this gonna go on for?? We’ve been walking foreverrrrr

ker: there’s a breeze

erka: yeah, it was windy as heck on those cliffs (my hair’s ruined)

ker: no. there’s a breeze coming from ahead of us. 

Kieera: look - there’s a light between the rock here.

ker: this rock’s not as weathered as the rest.

lyr: it smells like -

kieera: stale beer?

ker kicks the wall, rocks crumble. light streams in revealing a group of hybrid kids crouched in a corner, terrified.

erka: k-kids??

ker: hybrids. 

Kieera: what the f -

the door at the top of the stairs bangs open and Hon appears

H: what was that noise?? I thought I told you lot to keep it do - who the fuck are you?? 

ker: is this…the cellar of your bar?? why’re you hiding hybrids -

H: great, now I’ve gotta kill the four of you on top of everything else? I’m busy and now you cave-dwelling bitches are down here making my life harder, seriously -

twik running down the stairs out of breath

T: Hon! We’ve got a prob -

H: you’re telling me honey, look at the state of this -

T: what? (looks at them) how the - (back to hon) no time. Reik was right about Reamer knowing, and he’s finally tipped them off. the Doves are coming. Almost the entire Dole, it seems like.

H: shit. shit. we still haven’t found a place to stash these, what do we -

Kieera: you’re hiding hybrid kids from the Dole??

H: yes, obviously, I don’t keep children in my cellar for fun, girl

kieera thinks back to tiraa saying keelee’s a hybrid and looking for her. 

kieera: we can…we can take them. back through the tunnel. board it back up after we’re gone. there’s a house near the entrance where they can lay low until it’s safe.

lyr: are you out of your mind -

Kieera: what, playacting as a spy is all fun and games for you, but when it comes to actually doing something, you’re out? you’d let these kids just be captured, or worse? 

T: it’ll be worse. the Doves aren’t forgiving when it comes to what they deem freaks of nature. 

lyr looks at erka. 

Lyr: let’s get them out of here.

H: alright kids, go with your new adopted stranger mommies and make sure to keep those mouths of yours shut while cousin Twik and Auntie Hon try to fend off a horde of angry cultists. be good! Twik, get the barricades out. And for Icarus’ sake, hide the good liquor -

ker: get moving, I’ve watched those Doves in action, we’ve got minutes, tops. 

all running down tunnels, pulling kids along.

kid crying and looking back: mother -

lyr: (yanks kid to keep running) what’s the plan?? What shack were you talking about -

Kier: Ky’s old house is nearby, it hid his hybrid sister for years, it’ll have to do until we figure something out -

Erka: ky…cedoc? the hot Osprey? He lived here? He has a hybrid sister??

kieer: did. I’m not sure where she is now -

the sound of an explosion from behind them makes loose rocks fall

Ker: fuck. run faster. 

kieer: they’ll be quicker than us, how’re we even gonna -

ker: we’re almost there. I can see the entrance.

erka: (squinting at tunnel entrance) is - is someone there -

kieer: who -

a light is shined on them, making them all flinch. 

??: i was alerted to a possible distress call at these coordinates, and was closest in the area so responded. I am surprised to see the four of you, however. Just what have you gotten yourselves into, Cadets?

the light changes direction and the Albatross is revealed.

Ker: Admiral Mar! You’re -

White lights shine from further down the tunnel.

AM: no time. 

kieera: there’s a house -

AM: it won’t hold against them. everyone take a child. we’re going back to the war ship. 

see their silhouettes flying off. Show hooded dove girl watching them. 

hopefully this one wasn't toooo out of pocket haha
