FADE IN:
EXT. FACILITY – DAY
The team stands outside the research facility, looking exhausted but determined. They’ve been working tirelessly to understand the resonator and close the doorway between dimensions.
MAYA SINGH
(looking at Elliot Thompson)
Are we sure this is going to work?
ELLIOT THOMPSON
(confidently)
We’ve run the simulations a thousand times. The device is calibrated to perfection. We’re ready to close the doorway.
JESSE REED
(skeptical)
And what about the people we saw in the other dimension? Do you think they’ll be okay?
ZEPHYR ZEE CHEN
(dryly)
Oh, come on, Jesse. We’ve been over this. The butterfly effect is real. But we’re trying to stabilize a doorway between dimensions. I think our worries about a few extra souls are premature.
The team shares a moment of tension before turning to the device at their feet.
ELLIOT THOMPSON
(firmly)
It’s time. Let’s do this.
CUT TO:
INT. FACILITY – DAY
The team steps back as Dr. Thompson activates the device. A bright light fills the air, and the doorway between dimensions begins to close.
MAYA SINGH
(awed)
Look at that! It’s actually working!
JESSE REED
(impressed)
Whoa… it’s like watching a black hole shrink itself back down to nothing.
ZEPHYR ZEE CHEN
(whistling softly)
And the resonator is stabilizing…
The team watches in silence as the doorway disappears, and the air seems to calm. They share a moment of triumph and reflection before turning to Dr. Thompson.
ELLIOT THOMPSON
(proudly)
We did it. We closed the doorway.
MAYA SINGH
(concerned)
But what about the unintended consequences? What if we’ve caused some other ripple effect somewhere?
JESSE REED
(reassuringly)
We’ll monitor the data and adjust as needed. We’re not out of the woods yet, but… (pauses) I think we might have just made a difference.
ZEPHYR ZEE CHEN
(smirking)
The butterfly effect, remember? We might have just nudged the universe in a better direction.
CUT TO:
EXT. FACILITY – DAY
The team stands outside the facility once more, looking tired but triumphant. The camera pans out to show the city streets returning to normal as they share a moment of camaraderie and reflection.
