Episode 3: “The Ancient Ones”
Act I:
FADE IN:
EXT. OCEAN FLOOR – DAY
The team is gathered around a massive stone structure, covered in ancient carvings and symbols.
MAYA
(breathlessly)
This is incredible. The energy signatures are off the charts.
DR. THOMPSON
(excitedly)
We’re looking at an ancient temple, possibly dedicated to the worship of the ocean’s power.
ZEPHYR
(eyes shining with excitement)
And I think I can harness some of that power.
JESSE
(cautiously)
Hold up, Zephyr. We don’t know what kind of technology we’re dealing with here.
Act II:
CUT TO:
INT. TEMPLE – DAY
The team begins to explore the temple, uncovering more ancient artifacts and devices.
MAYA
(awed)
These symbols… they seem to be a language. A way to communicate with the ocean’s energy.
DR. THOMPSON
(excitedly)
This could be the key to understanding how the city functioned.
ZEPHYR
(fascinated)
And what kind of technology we’re looking at here.
CUT TO:
EXT. OCEAN FLOOR – DAY
Maya, now more confident in her abilities, begins to manipulate the ocean’s currents, using her powers to unlock a hidden chamber deep within the temple.
Act III:
CUT TO:
INT. HIDDEN CHAMBER – DAY
The team finds themselves face-to-face with ancient relics and artifacts that tell the story of the city’s downfall.
MAYA
(gravely)
This is it… the truth about what happened to this city.
DR. THOMPSON
(somberly)
It seems they were a highly advanced civilization, harnessing the power of the ocean to sustain their city. But something catastrophic occurred…
ZEPHYR
(intrigued)
And drained the ocean’s energy?
MAYA
(determined)
I think I know what happened. And I have a feeling it’s connected to my abilities.
Act IV:
CUT TO:
EXT. OCEAN FLOOR – DAY
As the team begins to piece together the secrets of the city, Maya has a vision of the ancient civilization and the catastrophic event that wiped them out.
MAYA
(alarmed)
We have to get out of here. Now.
The team quickly exits the temple as a massive underwater earthquake hits, causing the structure to crumble behind them.
FADE TO BLACK.
This is just a starting point, but I hope it gives you an idea of where the episode could go! Let me know if there’s anything specific you’d like me to change or add.
