Pandorum Page #4

You just had to remind me of the biggest

f***ing catastrophe in space travel.

The flight cautionary tale from hell.

l remember.

Didn't they have some kind of

hypersleep malfunction?

Payton:
Two years into their shift

one of their officers

had a psychological breakdown.

The doctors refer

to it as ODS syndrome.

But the pilots,

we call it pandorum.

lt drove him insane. He became

convinced the flight was cursed.

- Evil.

- Bower:
What did he do?

( alarm blaring )

Payton:

He evacuated the ship.

He launched them all

into oblivion.

with one push of a button.

Bower:
At least we didn't wake up

floating away in a coffin.

Payton:

Who says we didn't?

- Which way?

- Left at the third marker.

Just two more levels up

and we're on the main walkway.

Should be easy from there.

This can't be right.

What's not right?

l don't know if l'm hallucinating.

What?

What's going on?

l've seen this before.

This is a--

this--

this is a different one.

lt's booby-trapped.

Rigged the ceiling.

Payton:
Be careful.

No! No!

No!

Quiet!

- Quiet! Shh.

- ( panting )

We have to shut the hell up.

Do you understand?

l'm gonna get you out of this,

but you have to be quiet.

You understand?

Payton:

Bower, you sure this is a good idea?

Watch yourself.

He's team 6.

That's the shift unit

that's supposed to follow us.

Payton:
He could be--

Quiet. Quiet!

Easy. l'm not gonna hurt you

but you have to be quiet.

Do you hear me?

Shepard, team 6, sir.

l believe l'm the only one.

l knew it.

l knew you'd come back.

- What?

- Where's your squad?

Squad?

This is my lieutenant.

- Where's your shuttle?

- Shuttle? What are you talking about?

You're the retraction crew, right?

No. No.

l'm team 5.

- You just woke up?

- Six or eight hours ago.

So you don't know

what the f*** is going on?

That's what l'm saying.

- You know as much as me, man.

- l don't know anything.

You, you're gonna fit right in.

What are you doing?

- Get the scent off.

- Scent?

They're fast and they're f***ing

stronger than you know.

They come after you, you run.

You run and you don't f***ing look back.

l can't wait for you.

Who-- who are they?

- l can't help you.

- Help me.

Payton:
Bower, you tell that a**hole

the chain of command

- and a direct order is being made.

- You're still an officer on this ship,

and at the current time

your CO is ordering you...

- Ordering me? That's funny.

- ...now is ordering you--

You're late.

There's no f***ing CO on this ship.

F*** you.

( roaring )

( whimpering )

That's not gonna save you.

( snarling, growling )

Payton:

Get the hell out of there.

Get out of there!

Ah!

( roaring )

( whispering )
