Reel 2: 085—02
... Dyson as lightning flashes in the windows above.
Reel 2: 085—03
She moves to the craft’s central column and presses a button to lower Dyson’s seat.
CLARKE "We made it."
Reel 2: 085—04
CLARKE "We’re on the surface."
Reel 2: 085—05
DYSON "Feels like someone parked an AstroBug on top of me."
Reel 2: 085—06
Dyson attempts to sit up straight.
Reel 2: 085—07
Empathetic, Clarke is wracked with guilt. She puts a gentle hand on his shoulder.
Reel 2: 085—08
CLARKE "OH said the high gee-load got to you."
Reel 2: 085—09
CLARKE " We need to give you a once-over with the X-Doc."
Reel 2: 085—10
Dyson notices the damaged medical station...
TEMP
Reel 2: 085—12
Clarke walks over and removes the husk of the X-Doc’s CARRYING CASE.
TEMP
Reel 2: 085—13
The smoldering unit is beyond repair.
Reel 2: 085—14
CLARKE "We were struck by lightning. And I hit something on the way down. "
Reel 2: 085—15
DYSON " Something like? "
Reel 2: 085—16
CLARKE " A mountain. "
Reel 2: 085—17
DYSON " Didn’t your mother teach you to avoid those things? "
Reel 2: 085—18
CLARKE " Not well enough. Listen, I’m concerned about OH. "
Reel 2: 085—19
CLARKE " He’s been offline since the strike. "
Clarke gestures toward Omni’s main interface.
Reel 2: 085—21
... and immediately slumps back in his seat in severe pain.
Reel 2: 085—22
Clarke kneels by his side tenderly.
DYSON (CONT’D) " I'm fine. I just need to catch my breath. Where’s the AstroBug? "
Reel 2: 085—23
Dyson is covering up how he feels, but Clarke lets it go.
Reel 2: 085—24
She activates the science station, pulling up a map of their landing site and the position of the AstroBug.
Reel 2: 085—25
CLARKE " I set us down two klicks away. "
Reel 2: 085—26
DYSON " On the edge of a frozen lake. "
TEMP
Reel 2: 085—27
DYSON " (pointing) The AstroBug’s right in the middle. "
Reel 2: 085—28
Seeing this, Clarke panics. She switches on the comm-system.
Reel 2: 085—29
CLARKE " Jim, come in. Do you read? Jim?! "
Reel 2: 085—30
No response.
Reel 2: 085—31
Clarke quickly looks toward a storage locker.
Reel 2: 085—32
She walks to it and opens it up, looking for EVA equipment.
CLARKE (CONT’D) " I’m going outside to have a look. "
Reel 2: 085—33
DYSON " Then I’m going with you. "
Reel 2: 085—34
CLARKE " That’s not a good idea. "
Reel 2: 085—35
DYSON " I’ve waited for this all my life. You think a stupid injury’s gonna stop me? "

Clarke and Dyson wear ENVIROSUITS which include O2 BACKPACKS and OXYGEN MASKS that cover their mouths and noses. Each astronaut also wears a pair of clear, sporty-looking AR GLASSES.
Reel 2: 086—10
Dyson climbs down first. Clarke follows after him.
Reel 2: 086—11
CLARKE " Take it easy. One rung at a time. "
Reel 2: 086—12
DYSON " No problem. I got this. "

Dyson pulls himself together and sits up.
DYSON " Yeah... That’s one small step for me. One giant fall on my ass. "
Reel 2: 086—22
CLARKE " Wait a second... You’re the first person to set foot on Proxima b. "
Reel 2: 086—23
Clarke activates a FLASH SCANNER mapping device on her wrist. She takes an image of Dyson’s foot on the ground.
Reel 2: 086—24
DYSON " Wow. I made the history books. "
Reel 2: 086—25
CLARKE " You sure did. "
Reel 2: 086—26
Clarke spies a searchlight-style BEACON in the far distance. It shoots straight into the air as a spire of light.
Reel 2: 086—26
Clarke smiles proudly, extending a hand to help him up.
Reel 2: 086—27
Clarke points at it excitedly.
Reel 2: 086—27
Dyson stands.
Reel 2: 086—28
CLARKE " Look! Their beacon’s on! That means they’re okay. "
Reel 2: 086—28
Hobbling, he leans on Clarke as they hike away from the AeroFox.
Reel 2: 086—29
She pulls a LASER RANGER -- a pair of futuristic binoculars -- from her utility belt.
Reel 2: 086—29
In the distance, a VOLCANO spews lava and smoke into the sky.

DYSON " We should switch ours on as well. "
Reel 2: 086—30
The wind blows FLURRIES around them in the yellowish light of Alpha Centauri’s twin stars.
Reel 2: 086—31
CLARKE (looking through scope) " Yeah, we should. "
Reel 2: 086—31
CLARKE (CONT’D) " What’s this stuff in the air? "
Reel 2: 086—31
In a magical moment, Dyson opens his palm and allows a flake to gently land in it.
Reel 2: 086—32
DYSON " Can I see? "
Reel 2: 086—32
They both observe it with wonder.
Reel 2: 086—33
Clarke hands the Laser Ranger to him. Within its scope, Dyson sees the AstroBug embedded in the ice at an odd angle.
Reel 2: 086—33
DYSON " I think it’s snow... "
Reel 2: 086—34
DYSON (CONT’D) " It looks like they soft-landed. Their rockets partially melted the ice. It refroze around the base. "
Reel 2: 086—35
CLARKE " That means Jim got control. "
Reel 2: 086—36
DYSON (returning binoculars) " I don’t get it. What caused this? "
Reel 2: 086—37
CLARKE " I’m going over to find out. I’ll get Jim and the Engineer out of there and grab their X-Doc for you. "

Reel 2: 086—38
DYSON " We should inspect the Fox before you go."

Clarke checks out the damage, enabling the Augmented Reality HUD (Heads-Up Display) on her glasses.
Reel 2: 087—05
From her POV, diagnostic info appears on top of the craft.
CLARKE " According to scans, the damage is mostly internal. "

CLARKE (CONT’D) " We need to print replacement parts or we’ll never get airborne. "

Lightning catches Clarke’s eye in the distance.

Corey rotates his chair from FLIGHT position to its SURFACE configuration. He’s incensed.
COREY " Man... I still don't get where this came from. "
Reel 2: 089—08
BAXTER " I told you -- the shield grid! "
Reel 2: 089—09
COREY " I know that! I’m saying, how could it generate a burst that powerful? "

Reel 2: 091—04
BAXTER " I think it was. "
Reel 2: 091—05
A warning ALARM sounds. Corey checks his instruments.
COREY " And... Now, we’re leaking fuel. "
Reel 2: 091—06
BAXTER " How bad? "
Reel 2: 091—07
COREY " Bad. "
Reel 2: 091—08
BAXTER " Do you think it was the crash or the meteor strike? "
Reel 2: 091—09
Corey pulls up a schematic of the ship. It shows a cascade of damage beginning at the heat shield.
COREY " It had to be the strike. This is too internal. "
Reel 2: 091—10
BAXTER " But Omni said everything was okay. "
Reel 2: 091—11
COREY " Obviously, it isn’t! "

Corey punches his console in anger.
Reel 2: 091—13
COREY (CONT’D) " How did I end up crashing on my first goddamn mission? "
Reel 2: 091—14
Baxter waves at Corey to snap him out of his fugue.
Reel 2: 091—15
BAXTER " Hey, you got us down here alive. That’s all that matters. "
Reel 2: 091—16
COREY " Yeah. (pulling it together) Guess we better see about Omni. "
Reel 2: 091—17
OMNI " I’m here... At least part of me is. "
Reel 2: 091—18
COREY " What did you mean by 'part of you'? "
Reel 2: 091—19
OMNI " I can speak. However, my higher functions are compromised. "
Reel 2: 091—20
COREY " Well, you better get them uncompromised. We’re in trouble. "
Reel 2: 091—21
OMNI " Understood. "
Reel 2: 091—22
BAXTER " Omni, what caused this? "
Reel 2: 091—23
OMNI " When I accessed the node, an energy surge jumped into my system. I apologize for any inconvenience. "
Reel 2: 091—24
BAXTER (laughing at the irony) " This not on you. "
Reel 2: 091—25
COREY " Omni, are your sensors working well enough to tell us where we are? "
Reel 2: 091—26
Omni pulls up a graphic showing details of their locations.
Reel 2: 091—27
OMNI " I believe so. We’re located on a body of water ice. While the surface is two meters thick, the lake is over one kilometer deep. "
Reel 2: 091—28
COREY " We need to get the hell outta here. "
