DEUS EX THE MOVIE.
[Black, fade in]
It is windy, water crashes along the tropical island coast. A single sentry wearing a white coat stands guard in front of a glowing portal. He opens his hi-tech phone commuications device, a 2D screen popping up. He is of average age and build, tired and worn from nightshift duty.
The portal begins to make a loud noise, the glow from it getting brighter and brighter. White, mysterious tendrils begin to appear from the portal.
Sentry: We have a problem in sector 7-B. We-
He cuts off as a sudden explosion errupts behind him, followed by a series of chain explosions. He yells, turning around just in time to see a long white tendril grab him and suck out his life force. His shrivelled body falls into the ocean.
[Fade to black]

The scene is a sterile cafeteria. The bright fluorescent lights wash out the tables and hazy, indeterminate light streams in from a row of windows. NATASHA ROSS is slouching at a table, side eyeing the kitchen. NATASHA What's a gal gotta do to get some grub around here? I was a Nigerian Prince for like, a day, you know. [Cue LAUGH TRACK] ooc Natasha "Gnat" Ross, played by Raven-Symoné (of That's so Raven)

Camera pans, revealing laughtrack to belong to two Hunters behind her listening to a sitcom. They chuckle too until their laptop feed suddenly changes-
Laptop streaming CNN: - No leeway so far has been made on these thirteen missing individuals, last seen at Central park before the fog. The area has been barricaded for security reasons and the government has not yet released any more information on what is happening-
-Channel switches-
BBC: Tonight, a second attempt will be made to find the remains of missing Singapore Airlines flight 145-
- Channel switches-
CBC: And while they are concerned for the Prime Minister's health, they say he will make a full recovery. Meanwhile-
The two Hunters play rock paper scissors over the noise, one loses, groans, slowly puts his coat out and heads out. The second, a shorter black-haired girl, waves Natasha over to his seat.
Black haired Hunter: Hey you! On a mission soon?

NATASHA hesitates, but finally begrudgingly joins the other hunters. She glances away furtively at the question. NATASHA Well, yeah. I mean, prob'ly. Aren't we always? She waves at the TV NATASHA What about you? ooc Natasha "Gnat" Ross, played by Raven-Symoné (of That's so Raven)

Camera pans over as another Hunter wanders into the cafeteria. TEDAN GALLOWAY makes his way through the line to get food, then slouches over to a table near the others. He seems almost hung-over in appearance, a bit rough around the edges. TEDAN Why is this food always shitty?

The scene switches briefly over to the corner of the cafeteria. A form can be seen slumped over one of the tables, looking like a pile of trash
OCTOBER FLYNN is sound asleep with a tray balanced on his head. There is an umbrella resting on the table under his arms.
[ camera reverts back to the others ]

[Camera pans to the laptop in the cafeteria, which is now playing the news again.]
Black-haired Hunter: [Talking over news] I've had better days. [Her expression suddenly changes]. Oh by the way, did you hear anything about that mission that - you know what- never mind, I need to go.
She suddenly closes the computer again, stands up straight, and abruptly leaves, something clearly on her mind.
[Scene shifts to hallway] [Eye of the tiger plays]
A man wearing a casual Hannukah shirt and a cup of Starbucks hot chocolate strikes down the hallway. He is wearing indoor sunglasses, and attempting to handle cellphones at a time. He winks, and then clicks his tongue at an attractive woman passing by, but she pays him no attention.
[ Music stops]
The double doors open, revealing the man slamming open both cafeteria doors.
Mark: Ladies! If I can direct your attention to myself right here, I would just like to point out that this great man [ he points to himself with both hands ] is single. Now taking orders.
Mark sits next to Tedan, donating his Starbucks to him. He then lounges against the table, making sure everyone can get a good view of him, winking several times at Natasha. OOC Mark, played by Robert Downie Jr.

Camera cut to NATASHA, who appears startled by both the abrupt leaving Laptop Girl and sudden interest of Indoor Sunglasses. NATASHA, human garbage fire, considers winking back, but settles for rolling her eyes and dragging a chair over to their table. NATASHA I'd like a double tall peppermint mocha, you got anymore of those? It's clear the only hot thing she's interested in comes in a festive cup. [ Not that kind of cup. I mean, probably.] ooc Natasha "Gnat" Ross, played by Raven-Symoné (of That's so Raven)

ELSEWHERE, in the LIFE DIVISION LABS Ambient 'high-tech sci-fi' music plays. MIMSY KERCHER, a thin and unassuming twenty-something, is looking into a microscope. She wears a lab coat and has an effortlessly messy appearance which is still definitely attractive. (Wardrobe note: No safety goggles or gloves.) Several of the samples can be seen, intensely intercut with shots of her turning dials to adjust the equipment. She is hard at work. It appears to be an average day...for now. [fade] Quote: Mimsy is played by Aubrey Plaza in her infamous soulless deadpan

[ Sound of phone ringing in cafeteria]
Mark: Yeah hang on, I gotta take this call. [He looks distracted] Yeah, uh-huh. I know, in an hour right. That's a full hour I have for my lunch break, or do I not get those anymore? Right. Kay, call you later, boo.
Mark takes out his second phone. It's a picture of the Starbucks online order app.
Mark: Way ahead of you. Anything else I can get you, any refresher teas, those mint candy things they have on the bar, those weird organic yam dorito chips? I mean considering this is the last waking hour I'll have before my inevitable demise I might as well go all out.
He pauses, and then stands right on top of the table, spreading both arms out to get attention.
Mark: If I can have your attention [he claps loudly] all coffee orders are on the house. Tall, grande, fat, non-fat, whatever you can imagine. I mean, it's obvious that the whole damned world is ending in roughly a few hours so why don't we just all celebrate and have a good time, am I right? [ It becomes increasingly obvious that Mark is drunk. ] Have a great time and merry Kwanzaa. God bless America!

[[Director's note: cut this scene in the same camera shot as Mimsy's cameo ]]
[Cell phone buzzes loudly ]
Camera pans to cell phone. A message can be read on it's interface. Text from ??? Have you checked the news? Text from ??? It's freaking crazy outside right now, I think the higher-ups are covering something huge.

LIFE DIVISION LABS, slightly altered set At some point later [EDITING, GET ON THIS], the sci fi music takes on an odd, country twang with a hint of twilight zone as the camera approaches a new workstation. This one is covered in romance novels, cooking magazines, and one suspiciously tucked away document that seems to largely feature muscular men in tiny underwear. It is Christmas- themed and titled "SANTA'S NAUGHTY ELVES". An older, grizzled male face has been pasted over that of the cover model. There are several beakers strewn about, and a small vial of yellow liquid bubbling atop a bunsen burner. An older woman with dishevled hair tucked into a scarf perches atop a stool watching it expectantly. GLENDA Well, y'all, I think this here is jus' about done! She takes the vial and pours it atop a tub of popcorn she had stationed just out of sight. GLENDA I hope minipet butters' as good as the real thaaang. CAMERA pans to walls of somewhat abused looking minipets, cowering from their captor. It is unclear from where the 'butter' was obtained. Quote: Glenda Gautreaux, played by Paula Deen in her movie debut

[The camera flicks over to a different scene, this one of a man watching a European football match between Spain and the UK.]
[He suddenly looks up and around him visibly startled and alarmed then his eyes narrow as he settles back into his seat]
[Muttered] "Stupidi Americani."
[He begins to yell very angrily at the Tv in Italian as Spain misses a kick into the goal]

The man slumped over the table isn't woken by the loud yells, but he is woken by the word "coffee"
OCTOBER: (suddenly jerking awake) Caramel Macchiato, Venti, Skim, Extra Shot, Extra-Hot, Extra-Whip, Sugar-Free.
He then puts his head back down on the table.

In the LIFE DIVISION LABS, Mimsy pulls away from the microscope and sits up with a long, drawn out sigh. After staring at the phone, she picks it up to read the messages, then promptly replies. Text from Mimsy I am working. Dr. H would not hide anything. She glances up from the screen. Pause. She glances back down at it and types out a second message. Mimsy has a slight smirk as she places the phone on the table again. Quote: Mimsy is played by Aubrey Plaza in her infamous soulless deadpan
