Image Plan (WATSON): The control room has a clear viewing window near Spencer’s control panel. The window overlooks the main experiment focal point in front. We need to see their facial expressions change from excitement when it starts to work, to frustration when it fails and then grave concern when they can not shut it down.
Panel 1 – He is goading her into working more and running a test instead of going home.
CAPTION: After dinner we calibrated the converters, made the corrections and prepared to test again …
RIYA: With the new software upgrades I can operate computer control.
RS: Even Pavel’s station? So the two of us could test the converters tonight.
Riya: Oh no you don’t. We can wait until …
Panel 2 – He is almost like an excited kid convincing the girl he has a crush on to take a walk with him.
RS: Come on, just a low level test to confirm the variances I detected came from those converters.
RIYA: Yea, and then you’ll want to do a high impact test.
RS: We’ll never know until we try the low. (Smiling)
RIYA: You are incorrigible; alright one LOW level test and then we are both going home.
Panel 3 – Both are at their stations. Monitors galore. Lots of glowing things
RIYA: Initiating low level test.
RS (ENTERCOM): No variance so far. Everything is stable. Increasing the bio-electric stream.
RIYA: LOW level only! We’ll run it by Pavel on Monday and then try a full spectrum test then.
Panel 4 – He is excited to continue but she remains the voice of reason. She will play the game but is strong enough to put her foot down when she needs to.
RS: Look! It’s staying stable. Increasing bio-electric stream…
Riya: NYET! We did what we said and now it is time to go home. Initiating shut down procedures.
Panel 5 – She either pulls a switch or types into a computer. She is shutting it down
RS: But we need to see if the stream contaminates the converters at a higher level.
RIYA: Monday, Ryan. This will all be here on Monday. Initiating shut down procedures.
(Lettering note) How are we on space w ith this panel? If need be we can eliminate the dialogue in this panel)
Panel 6 – RS station. Ryan is surprised to see a power meter starting to spike. We see the experiment glowing brighter in the background.
RS: Riya, I thought you were shutting down the stream.
Riya (ENTERCOM): I did, the computer just booted me off-line. What’s happening up there?
