The three vehicles wait as the large door in front of them opens revealing the epic scenery of this ALIEN world.

JANEK
I’m curious Miss Vickers
VICKERS
Please explain?
JANEK
Why Weyland would send you with us on this mission
VICKERS
Why is that?
JANEK
To keep tabs on us in case we fail
VICKERS
I’m not here for that Mr Janek
JANEK
Then why are you here?
VICKERS
I’m here in case you succeed

It is two hundred feet in height. The three vehicles approach it’s base.
