COREY " Man. Those geoglyphs. It’s hard to comprehend landforms of that size. Kyle, what do you think? "

Refocusing on his station, Dyson begins a planetary survey.

INT. ASTROBUG

Corey fights with the controls.

COREY " The R-C-S is firing! The controls aren't responding! "

Without warning, the ship bucks wildly. Instruments go crazy.

Frantic, Corey activates the comm-system.

COREY " AstroBug to AeroFox. Come in. "

INT. AEROFOX

Dyson is relieved as they return to zero-gravity. It’s clear he’s fighting through significant pain.

CLARKE " Okay, OH. How's this? "

An eerie silence fills the cabin -- interrupted by the howling wind and distant thunder.

The smoldering unit is beyond repair.

She kneels next to Dyson as he rolls on the ground in pain.

An awkward silence ensues.

BAXTER " I’ve been wondering, how many kids were born during the journey? "

INT. TERRACAT

The women sit quietly until Baxter changes the subject.

BAXTER (COMM VOICE) " Perfect. "

DYSON " We tested Ms. Baxter’s firewall software on Omni. It works. "

OMNI (COMM VOICE) " I believe these injuries are due to a genetic defect caused by exposure to cosmic rays. "

BAXTER " Those geoglyphs are huge. No wonder they affect the magnetic field. "

Clarke continues to circle the base of the tower.

EXT. CRATER

Baxter paces in pain. She stops and rubs her knees. Sitting on top of the TerraCat, Clarke notices her discomfort.

INT. AEROFOX, LAVATORY
