Screamers: The Hunting Page #5

Madden, grab these and cover her. Come on.

Don't move!

Stay where you are! Don't move.

Stay away from the weapon.

Look out!

You're gonna kill me now?

No. I'm here to reason with you.

I'm gonna lower my weapon.

Please do not try anything.

Why'd you come back?

Screamers attacked our ship.

- You really are from Earth.

- Yes.

Unreal.

And I need to speak to your people. Please.

I'll take you.

But then you're on your own.

Follow me.

And who are you?

Commander Sexton.

Alliance Central received an SOS

from this planet.

We were sent to investigate,

render assistance to any survivors.

Bring them back home to Earth.

- That's a good story.

- It's not a story.

You can come check out our ship

if you'd like.

What do you want?

Screamers got onboard our ship

when we were out looking

for the source of the SOS.

They drained our fuel cells.

We need help finding more.

- So you're stranded?

- Worse.

In two days, this planet is going to be hit

with a class 10 Magellanic storm.

It's gonna kill every living organism here.

If you help us find more fuel,

you can come with us, back to Earth.

- And if we don't?

- Then we all die.

Unreal.

It sounds like a trap.

Have you forgotten

that I saved Hannah's life?

- We saw what you did...

- And it means nothing.

Different varieties of screamers are fighting

and killing each other every day.

As far as we're concerned,

you could be the newest model.

Me? You think I'm a screamer?

- I'm as human as you are.

- Fine.

Give me your hand.

- Bronte.

- I'm not talking to you.

Give me your hand.

Back away now!

It's real.

It's the only way to tell.

You actually thought

I could be one of them?

Anyone can be.

You know, the screamers are machines.

We've seen what they look like.

They're made of circuits and servos.

No. Not the newer models.

So, how do we know you're not one?

Looks like this is your new home, for now.

Do you know of any military depots

where we could find fuel cells?

Never heard of any in these parts.

Don't worry. We'll find you what you need.

Do you know of some place specific?

One. But it's too dangerous now.

How do you survive down here?

What do you eat?

We forage. We scrounge a lot.

We live off what the land gives us.

Screamers never sleep.

We have to keep someone on guard

around the clock.

What happens if they get in?

We blow the tunnel with these explosives.

But they're not gonna get in.

Bronte, Madden, let's go.

There were about 400 survivors

in the beginning.

The screamers killed off most of us.

It must be hell living

in fear of the screamers all the time.

You call this living?

Help us. Please.

You can't get too close. It's electromagnetic.
