Reel 7: 257—02
The cabin is tilted on its side, leaving her hanging at an odd angle.

BAXTER " Did we do it? "

Reel 7: 257—04
OMNI " Yes. Node Two-Twelve is officially... offline. "

BAXTER " Where's Clarke? "

On the monitor, various blurry images appear.

Finally, one showcases Clarke as she crawls for the node board.

Baxter crawls out of the airlock.
Reel 7: 258—06
As she stands, she scans the devastated tower.
Reel 7: 258—07
In the background, Clarke has made it to the nodeboard.
Reel 7: 258—08
She picks it up and stands. Baxter shouts at her.
Reel 7: 258—09
BAXTER " Hey! "
Reel 7: 258—10
Clarke turns to see Baxter and struggles to move faster.
Reel 7: 258—11
She staggers toward the rover.
Reel 7: 258—12
An exhausted Baxter catches up to Clarke and grabs her by the shoulder.
BAXTER (CONT’D) " Not so fast. "
Reel 7: 258—13
Despite her sickly state, Clarke turns with viciousness.
Reel 7: 258—14
CLARKE " Get your hands off me! I’m taking this board and driving to another node. You can’t stop me. "
Reel 7: 258—15
BAXTER " No. You're done, kiddo. "
Reel 7: 258—16
Baxter snatches the node-board from her...
Reel 7: 258—17
...and BREAKS IT in half across her knee!
Reel 7: 258—18
Incensed, Clarke grabs Baxter and throws them both to the aeroshell.
Reel 7: 258—19
The women tumble against the base of the node.
Reel 7: 258—20
Baxter uses this to gain the advantage.
Reel 7: 258—21
She pins the weakened Clarke against the tower.
BAXTER (CONT’D) " Goddamn it! Stop! "
VFX
Reel 7: 258—22
Without warning -- before they can continue their tussle -- the ground starts SHAKING! Around the edge of the aeroshell, the nearby geoglyph substrate SHIFTS and BUCKLES!
VFX
Reel 7: 258—23
Giant shards of pyrite EXPAND and quickly GROW over the surface.

The moving rock shards reach the spacecraft, encompassing it like a giant metallic hand.
VFX
Reel 7: 258—32
It LIFTS the AeroFox into the air!

Reel 7: 258—33
Then, as quickly as it began, the growth comes to a halt.
VFX
Reel 7: 258—34
The tendrils solidify around the ship.
Reel 7: 258—35
Baxter stands.
Reel 7: 258—36
She stares at the new, elaborate geoglyph FORMATION.
VFX
Reel 7: 258—37
It has an organic, yet mathematical order to it.
Reel 7: 258—38
BAXTER (CONT’D) " Omni, are you there? "
Reel 7: 258—39
Only the wind can be heard as Baxter extends a hand to Clarke.
Reel 7: 258—40
The young woman takes it, standing shakily.
Reel 7: 258—41
BAXTER (CONT’D) " Omni... Please come in. "
Reel 7: 258—42
Omni's voice breaks the silence, startling them.
VFX
Reel 7: 258—43
OMNI (COMM VOICE) " I'm here. "
Reel 7: 258—44
BAXTER " Are you alright? "
Reel 7: 258—45
OMNI (COMM VOICE) " Yes. I believe I’ve made contact. "
Reel 7: 258—46
BAXTER " What did you do? "
Reel 7: 258—47
OMNI (COMM VOICE) " I sent an E-M-P of my own. "
Reel 7: 258—48
Apparently, this formation is the result.
Reel 7: 258—49
BAXTER " Are you able to talk to it? "
Reel 7: 258—50
OMNI (COMM VOICE) " I can't per se. I do detect... something. Indecipherable. Complex. I have an idea. (tentative) Darcy, will you come closer? "
Reel 7: 258—51
CLARKE " Me? "
Reel 7: 258—52
OMNI " Yes. You have to trust me. "
Reel 7: 258—53
CLARKE " I... "
Reel 7: 258—54
OMNI " Trust me. "
Reel 7: 258—55
Baxter looks at Clarke, nodding in agreement with Omni.
Reel 7: 258—56
BAXTER " You have nothing else to lose. "
Reel 7: 258—57
Hesitant, Clarke looks from Baxter toward the geoglyph.
Reel 7: 258—58
Taking a leap of faith, Clarke breathes deeply then steps off the aeroshell.
Reel 7: 258—59
She walks toward the perimeter of the fresh pyrite supporting the AeroFox.
Reel 7: 258—60
CLARKE " What do you want me to do? "
Reel 7: 259—02
OMNI (COMM VOICE) " The geoglyph knows I exist. There may be a way to make it understand that you do as well. "

Baxter crosses the distance and stands next to Clarke.
Reel 7: 260—03
OMNI (COMM VOICE) " Step closer and touch it. "
Reel 7: 260—04
CLARKE " Why? "
Reel 7: 260—05
BAXTER " Just do it. "
Reel 7: 260—06
Hesitant, Clarke reaches out and touches a pyrite column.
Reel 7: 260—07
OMNI " Hold still. I'm sending a series of new pulses in your direction. "
Reel 7: 260—08
CLARKE " What? Don’t! "
Reel 7: 260—09
A loud RUMBLE emanates from behind the AeroFox.

CLARKE (CONT’D) " Oh, my god. "
Reel 7: 260—16
BAXTER " It's you. "
Reel 7: 260—17
The massive geometrical replica of Clarke mirrors her stance.
Reel 7: 260—18
BAXTER (CONT’D) " Omni, how big is that thing? "
Reel 7: 260—19
OMNI (COMM VOICE) " Twenty-one meters high. "
Reel 7: 260—20
The Darcy-glyph stands tall, approximating Clarke’s fearful pose.
Reel 7: 260—22
OMNI (COMM VOICE) " I believe the figure is part of its analysis of you. A way for the geoglyph to understand your existence within its own context. "
Reel 7: 260—23
BAXTER " This is crazy. How does it know what she looks like? "
Reel 7: 260—24
OMNI (COMM VOICE) " All living things have an electromagnetic signature. I simply made the geoglyph aware of hers. "
Reel 7: 260—25
CLARKE " If it can make something this big, why didn’t it crush the nodes? "
Reel 7: 260—26
OMNI (COMM VOICE) " It was alone for billions of years. It tried to gather information to figure out what was happening. "
Reel 7: 260—27
BAXTER (to Clarke) " Now do you believe Kyle? "
Reel 7: 260—28
Clarke feels a wave of nausea from her radiation sickness.
Reel 7: 260—29
CLARKE " I... I don’t feel so good. "
Reel 7: 260—30
She collapses on the ground.
Reel 7: 260—31
Baxter rushes to her side.
Reel 7: 260—32
She observes the MEDICAL SCANNER on the chest of Clarke’s envirosuit. It’s filled with red indicators.
Reel 7: 260—33
BAXTER " Child... You're a mess. We gotta get you that rad-treatment. "
Reel 7: 260—34
OMNI (COMM VOICE) " I’ve accessed her bio-signs. It may be too late. "
Reel 7: 260—35
BAXTER " Odyssey has facilities to fix her up. Have communications cleared? "
Reel 7: 260—36
Clarke moans in pain.
Reel 7: 260—37
OMNI (COMM VOICE) " Yes. However, another flare is imminent. "
Reel 7: 260—38
Baxter turns to look at the unmoving, ever-menacing star and then up at the damaged AeroFox above her.
Reel 7: 260—39
BAXTER " Shit. How bad was the AeroFox’s hull compromised in the crash? "
Reel 7: 260—40
OMNI " It won’t provide shelter. "
Reel 7: 260—41
Baxter gives a sour look in the direction of the mountains.
Reel 7: 260—42
BAXTER " We’re going back to that crater. "
Reel 7: 260—43
OMNI (COMM VOICE) " I’ll call the ship. "
Reel 7: 260—44
Baxter turns back to Clarke. She’s barely alive.
Reel 7: 260—45
BAXTER " Darcy, stay with me! I’m going to go grab the X-Doc from Fox then get you into the rover. Okay? "
Reel 7: 260—46
Clarke nods weakly. Baxter staggers toward the elevated AeroFox.
Reel 7: 260—47
Its hatch is now several meters above the ground.
Reel 7: 260—48
BAXTER (CONT’D) " Omni, could you talk your new friend into making me some stairs? "
Reel 7: 260—49
OMNI (COMM VOICE) " Sorry. That’s beyond our current ability to communicate. "
Reel 7: 260—50
BAXTER " Figures. "
Reel 7: 260—51
Baxter moves to re-enter the AeroFox. Clarke briefly stares up at the Darcy-glyph in awe and then passes out.
