Because we’re facing the sun. Listen is there anything I can do for you?
VICKERS
No nothing. I’m just checking up on things. Making sure the companies dollar isn’t going to waste
JANEK
Well ma’am you picked the right crew
VICKERS
I hope so. Let me know when we’re in position
JANEK
Yes ma’am
INT. ENGINE CORRIDOR
RAY and JOSHUA walk through the corridor chatting to one another and occasionally stop and flick switches. The sound of steam and the hissing of gas can be heard.
RAY
Hey Joshua?
JOSHUA
Yeah Ray what is it man?
RAY
Have we really been out for five years?
JOSHUA
Hard to believe huh?
RAY
Forty light years in five years. Damn that gotta be some kind of record. What the hell makes this thing go so fast anyway?
JOSHUA
FTI
RAY
What’s FTI?
JOSHUA
Faster than Light. After those big boys at CERN created antimatter WEYLAND took it over and they developed antimatter into a fuel source. That’s what’s powering this ship and that’s what’s giving us gravity. Think of it like this. The Earth and other planet’s with gravity have cores which creates gravity. Well the antimatter is the ships core
RAY
You know a lot for a mechanical engineer
JOSHUA
Knowing the simple details in life make the bigger picture more clear
RAY
I don’t know man. But what I do know is I’d like to give that Archaeologist chick a piece of my core
JOSHUA
I wouldn’t count on it apparently she’s Roman Catholic
RAY
Really? Shit, I didn’t know they still existed
JOSHUA
Yeah I know right? Science today pretty much debunks everything the bible says
INT. HOLLOWAY’S ROOM
HOLLOWAY stands in the room smirking. It’s clean and polished. There is a small square window but it is closed with a protective shutter. Suddenly his metallic door opens vertically and SHAW enters.
SHAW
How are you liking you’re room?
HOLLOWAY
It’s cool huh? I love how this ship has rooms for each of the crew. Pretty classy huh. Just like a cruise
SHAW
It’s roomy
HOLLOWAY
Needs a room-mate though. You up for the job?
