INT. WOODS - NIGHT

AN UNKNOWN MAN TREKTS THROUGH THE WOODS WEILDING A CROSSBOW. TAKING A KNEE THE MAN PATIENTLY WAITS UNTIL AN ELK COMES INTO VIEW. THE UNKNOWN MAN USES HIS CROSSBOW TO SHOOT THE ELK HOWEVER, THE SHOT DOESN'T KILL IT AND HE MUST PROCEED TO TRACK IT DOWN.

[Unknown Man#1]

You have to be kidding me! I don't have time for this! She's been more than impatient these last couple of weeks. It's hard enough as it is trying to keep her satiated.

THE UNKNOWN MAN TRACKS THE ELK DOWN AND FINDS THAT A BLACK BEAR IS ATTEMPTING TO LAY CLAIM TO IT.

[Unknown Man#1]

Hey, get away from there! That's my kill!

THE BLACK BEAR ROARS AT THE MAN ATTEMPTING TO SCARE HIM. THE UNKNOWN MAN HAVING NO PATIENCE SHOOTS THE BEAR WITH HIS CROSSBOW KILLING IT AS WELL.

[Unknown Man#1]

Damn animals just don't know when to give it up!

EXT. GREEN HOUSE - EARLY MORNING

THE UNKNOWN MAN HAVING TRANSPORTED BOTH THE ELK AND THE BLACK BEAR BACK TO HIS PROPERTY USING A TRUCK, UNLOADS THE CARCASSES OF THE ANIMALS IN FRONT OF A GREENHOUSE. THE MAN OPENS THE DOORS OF THE GREENHOUSE USING A REMOTE. IT TAKES A FEW SECONDS HOWEVER VINES BEGIN TO DRAG THE CARCASSES OF THE ANIMALS BACK INTO THE GREENHOUSE. WHEN THE CARCASSES OF THE ANIMALS ARE INSIDE OF THE GREENHOUSE THE MAN PRESSES A BUTTON FOR THE DOORS TO CLOSE, HOWEVER, MORE VINES ATTEMPT TO FORCE THE DOORS OPEN.

[Unknown Man#1]

Oh, no! You've got to be kidding me!

UNKNOWN MAN#1 GRABS A TASER ROD FROM HIS TRUCK AND BEGINS TO USE THE TASER TO SHOCK THE VINES. AFTER A FEW JABS THE VINES BEGIN TO RETRACT BACK INTO THE GREENHOUSE.

[Unknown Man#1]

When are you going to learn that you have to follow the rules?!

ONE OF THE VINES SLAPS THE TASER ROD OUT OF UNKNOWN MAN#1'S HAND AND ANOTHER VINE WRAPS AROUND UNKNOWN MAN#1'S LEGS. THE VINE THEN BEGINS TO DRAG THE MAN BACK INTO THE GREENHOUSE WHILE HE STRUGGLES IN VAIN.

[Unknown Man#1]

No, let go of me! You can't do this to me! I created you! I've kept you alive! I've sacrificed too much! Don't do this to me!

UNKNOWN MAN#1 ATTEMPTS TO REACH FOR HIS REMOTE BUT IT BECOMES OUT OF REACH AS THE DOORS CLOSE.

INT. STARBLASER - NIGHT

AS KAYNE FLIES THE STARBLASER OVER COLORADO WOODED AREAS, TO̅MI JOINS HIM IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.

[To̅mi]

You know, you say you hate using the Starblaser for transportation but it's times like these that I think you quite enjoy it.

[Kayne]

I have never stated that I dislike this vehicle. I've only ever stated that I dislike that there is no way it could be designed to look less... ludicrous.

[To̅mi]

It beats flying airlines. Or flying yourself.

[Kayne]

...I suppose you were curious to know the reason why we're traveling to Colorado.

[To̅mi]

Yes, very much in fact.
