SETTING

A strange world with a rectangular building in ruins at the centre of the stage, a metre from
the building are two big cylindrical structures. In front of the building is a teleporter, a
cylindrical glass chamber with metallic discs on the bottom and top, with a wounded person
inside it. Behind the central building is an enormous flat warehouse-like structure (CPU)
covering most of the back of the stage. Thick wires running across the stage.

BEGIN.

Elliot wakes up in his teleporter with a fresh wound on his head. He looks around. The
atmosphere around is dark and grim. All he can see is dust and debris but not one sight of a
living soul. He sees a half torn building right in front of him. He notices big and thick pipes
but soon realizes they are wires, broken, and worn out.

Elliot: (while checking the dials on his teleporter) “What is this place? How did I get here?”
(adjusts the dials) “None of this makes any sense.”

He hastily gets out of his teleporter

Elliot: (shouting) Hello! Can anybody hear me? Hello?

He hears nothing but the echoes.

Suddenly, he hears a loud noise behind him and quickly turns around just to catch a glimpse
of the dark shadow which slipped right past him behind his back.

Elliot: (frightened and baffled) Who...who’s there??
Elliot turns back and sees a black hooded figure gliding in front of him.

Elliot: (looking around) Who are you? What is this place?

Elliot stumbles upon a rock and sees the shadow again. He runs to the left of the stage, where
there is a narrow cave built by collapsed walls.

He looks around and finds a human-like creature but much shorter, no more than 4 feet with
relatively smaller limbs, the figure is covered in dust from head to toe.

Elliot crawls back against the wall.
