Episode 4: “The Last Hope”
FADE IN:
EXT. OCEAN FLOOR – DAY
The camera pans over the wreckage of the ancient temple, revealing the extent of the damage caused by the earthquake. The team is gathered around a makeshift console, trying to assess the situation.
MAYA
(concerned)
We have to get out of here before it’s too late. The temple’s collapsing, and we don’t know when or if we’ll be able to get back in here again.
DR. THOMPSON
(calmly)
Agreed. But we can’t leave without taking some crucial readings. We need to understand what caused this earthquake and how it affects the city’s energy grid.
JESSE
(frustrated)
Easy for you to say, Doc. You’re not stuck down here with a dying device that’s our only link to the surface.
ZEPHYR
(smiling)
Hey, don’t worry, Jesse. I think I can help with that.
Zephyr holds up her wrist device, which is malfunctioning. Maya and Dr. Thompson exchange a worried glance.
MAYA
(urgently)
We need to get out of here, now!
The team begins to hastily gather their equipment and prepare to leave the temple. As they do, the camera lingers on the ancient relics and artifacts scattered throughout the chamber, hinting at the secrets that lie hidden within.
CUT TO:
EXT. OCEAN FLOOR – DAY
As the team makes its way back through the wreckage, they’re met with an unexpected sight: a massive energy vortex swirling in the distance. The device on Zephyr’s wrist begins to beep erratically, and Maya’s eyes widen as she realizes what this could mean.
MAYA
(breathlessly)
This is it… This is the energy source we’ve been searching for!
DR. THOMPSON
(cautiously)
But is it safe? We don’t know what kind of risks are involved in interacting with that kind of power.
JESSE
(determined)
We have to try. It’s our only hope to get out of here and make it back to the surface.
CUT TO:
EXT. OCEAN FLOOR – LATER
The team carefully approaches the energy vortex, their equipment at the ready. Maya raises her hands, focusing her connection to the ocean’s power, as Dr. Thompson and Jesse work together to stabilize the device on Zephyr’s wrist.
ZEPHYR
(excitedly)
I think I’m getting a reading! It’s some kind of… portal!
MAYA
(determined)
We have to go through it. We don’t know what’s on the other side, but we have to try.
The team takes a deep breath and steps into the unknown, as the camera zooms out to reveal the vast expanse of the ocean floor stretching out before them.
FADE TO BLACK.
