JESSE
(to his partner)
We’re looking at unprecedented tidal activity. It’s like nothing I’ve seen before.
CUT TO:
INT. MAYA’S LAB – DAY
Maya Singh is working on her project, trying to understand and control her newfound powers. Dr. Elliot Thompson, the renowned oceanographer, enters the lab.
ELLIOTT
Maya, we need to talk about your abilities. We can’t let them go unchecked.
MAYA
(nervously)
I know. I’m trying to figure it out, but it’s like my body has a mind of its own.
ZEE
(entering the lab)
Hey, Maya! What’s going on?
MAYA
(frustrated)
Just Elliot being his usual ‘we need to study you’ self.
ELLIOTT
(defensively)
I’m trying to help her understand and control her powers. This isn’t about studying her; it’s about protecting the public.
CUT TO:
EXT. COAST – DAY
The Coast Guard is responding to a series of coastal events, all linked to Maya’s powers. Jesse Reed is struggling to keep up with the chaos.
JESSE
(into radio)
This is Reed. We need backup at the beach. Reports of massive waves and destruction are pouring in.
CUT TO:
INT. MAYA’S APARTMENT – DAY
Maya is trying to relax, but her powers are causing stress and anxiety. Zee Chen enters the apartment, concerned about Maya’s well-being.
ZEE
Hey, kiddo, what’s going on? You look like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.
MAYA
(exhausted)
I just don’t know how to control this. I’m afraid of hurting someone or causing even more destruction.
ZEE
(gently)
You’re not alone, Maya. We’ll figure it out together.
CUT TO:
EXT. COAST GUARD STATION – DAY
Jesse Reed is reviewing footage of the coastal events. He notices a pattern and realizes that Maya’s powers are not random; they’re connected to specific locations and times.
JESSE
(to himself)
This isn’t just about the tides; it’s about something bigger. I need to dig deeper.
FADE OUT.
