INT. Pyramid
BROUSSARD
Tunnel's gone - cave or something below
me - feels like the tropics in here, air
is hot and humid ...
Struggling, he releases his purchase on the stone and begins to lower
himself on power. He dangles free in darkness, turning slowly on the
wire as the chest unit unwinds.
HITS BOTTOM
Broussard is standing on a dusty stone floor, surrounded by solid
darkness. He flashes his datastick around - the beam reveals stone
walls, which are carved with STRANGE HIEROGLYPHICS
These images have a primitive, even a sacred appearance. Line after
line of pictograms stretches from floor to ceiling, an epic history in
an unknown language. Huge symbols dominate one wall. They could almost
be Mayan.
Spaced at intervals are stylized stone statues of strange MONSTERS,
half anthropoid, half insect.
Broussard moves his light along the pictures on the wall. They depict
other freakish HYBRIDS
BROUSSARD
It's unbelievable! It's like some tomb
... it's like a religion or something!
Hey, anybody there? Do you read me?
Standard!
Annoyed, Broussard yanks off his breathing goggles, and leaves them
hanging around his neck. He takes a deep breath of the wet air.
