The whir of the car's electric powered engine belies its
conventional appearance.
EXT. GATTACA AEROSPACE CORPORATION. DAY.
JEROME's car exits a highway and turns up the sweeping road
leading to the parking lot of "GATTACA AEROSPACE CORPORATION".
A sleek, modern, low-rise industrial compound boasting perfectly
manicured landscaped gardens.
INT. GATTACA AEROSPACE CORPORATION. DAY.
JEROME strides purposefully up to the entranceway with hundreds
of other GATTACA EMPLOYEES. He carries himself with a certain
arrogance, a cool detachment. All employees wear similarly
unconventionally-cut suits, short coiffed hair and robust tans.
The Gattaca employees are a seemingly equal split of men and
women and a diverse range of ethnicities.
They filter through a row of channels supervised by SECURITY
GUARDS. Each channel contains a computerized security device,
featuring a slim groove in which the employee places a finger
under the watchful eye of a Security Guard.
Jerome gives a polite nod to a Guard as he places his index
finger in the groove. His fingertip is jabbed with the
finest of needles and a minute blood sample taken.
The blood specimen confirms Jerome's identity - an ID photograph
appearing on a computer screen.
Out of the corner of his eye, Jerome spies a young woman
entering through the adjacent channel. She is also sneaking a
glance in his direction - IRENE. Catching each other looking,
they both quickly avert their eyes.
As Jerome enters the computer facility of Gattaca Aerospace
Corporation he furtively glances at the pin-prick puncture in
his fingertip sachet.
A GATTACA spacecraft skirts an asteroid. Taking advantage of
the rock's gravitational pull, the craft slingshots deeper into
the black void. Then abruptly the craft and the asteroid freeze
in mid-space, suddenly reverse direction and proceed forward
again - the spacecraft taking a slightly adjusted course.
We pull back to reveal that the journey is merely a highly
realistic graphic representation on a GATTACA computer screen
operated by JEROME.
Appearing simultaneously alongside the computer animation is a
seemingly never-ending column of computer instructions for this
celestial navigation - the incomprehensible language of the
computer programmer.
