Aliens: Zone of Silence Page #3

---

these guys, these aliens,

they f***ing screw up

your mind.

Afterwards, I was--

it's all about,

if you see sh*t,

they wipe it, man.

They f***ing wipe it.

I was f***ing there.

[Morgan]

well, the storm hit me

pretty hard.

Put me back a few hours.

Had to clean the gear a bit.

It took it out of me.

All right,

I'm gonna call it.

[Grunts]

All right, well, I finally

got my tent all set up,

so I'm calling it a night

and I'm gonna get some sleep.

So, good night.

[Coyotes yipping]

[Coyotes howling]

[Goose]

i saw this cool

documentary today

about mind-scrubbing aliens--

[morgan] I'm more concerned

about the wolves out there.

-[Goose] coyotes.

-[Morgan] Wolves have always

scared the sh*t out of me.

-[Goose] coyotes.

-[Morgan] Still afraid of them.

-Like velociraptors.

-[Goose] If I see any

of those on the scope,

I'll be sure

to let you know.

Hey, I'm gonna need just like

a second of privacy, okay?

[Goose] yeah, okay.

I'll shut the cameras off

on my end.

I'll do it. Perv.

Oh, and goose?

No peeking.

[Goose]

please. I'm not Alex.

[Beeping]

[Morgan]

it's a stunning morning.

I'm a little bit behind,

so I'm gonna power down

the cameras for a bit

and save some juice.

Bye.

[Beeps]

[Beeps]

[Beeps]

My GPS watch says

I should be getting pretty close

to where they camped out.

[Beeping accelerates]

It's gotta be down there

somewhere.

This is it.

This is it. Oh, my god.

This is the last place

that we heard from them.

[Sniffling]

pork and bean can,

sure sign hal's been here.

Police didn't

even clean it up.

[Goose]

we'll find 'em.

You should camp

on higher ground.

This way the cameras

will get a better view

of what's around you.

[Morgan]

all right,

so this first camera

I'm gonna show you here,

this is Mark.

He's one of my go-pros.

Let's test him out.

Mark has night vision

capabilities,

which will be

very useful.

I'm gonna come over here

and see this little guy.

This is one

of my laser sensors,

and he will connect up

to my seismograph,

so if anything crosses his path,

i will know about it.

Now we come over here.

This guy's pretty cool.

This is Matt.

[Camera whirring]

He is my perimeter camera.

He follows anything

that gets in front of him

for up to 50 feet.

It's pretty cool.

And now I get to show you

my favorite camera.

Now this camera's

pretty special.

This one here,

goose says it's an hdri

something or other.

It can pick up the faintest

details in the dark,

or even the surface of the sun.

Whatever.

it looks cool.

[Goose]

you ready to start

some testing?

Plug in

the electronic gear.

We'll start more localized.

I'm gonna set the scan

from here,

and then after that,

we're gonna go a little bit

more outward.

You set?

[Static]

[Static continues]

Is it broken?

I don't think so.

It's really hot.

Sensors seem to be

having a problem

locking on to the source.

Gonna reset.

[Static]

What was that?

You still there, goose?

Yeah, I'm here.

I'm just resetting the scan.

[Static]

It's quiet.

[Clicking]

[Static]

[Loud static]

That was unexpected.

-What was it?

-It had structure,

almost like

a burst transmission.

A what?

It's a burst signal.

It's an ultra-high

frequency transmission

used by the military.

It pushes in

a large amount of data

in a small time

so that this way

the enemy doesn't get it.

Special forces.

But the waveform

doesn't look right.

I'm gonna run it

through some filtering

and see what pops up.

[Panting]

[Morgan]

f***ing wolves.

-[Coyotes yipping]

-Are you kidding me?

What the hell is that?

That is not even funny.

-[Animal yips]

-What the f***?

Okay.

[Wildlife chirping,

barking, howling]

[Whispers]

please, god.

Keep me safe.

Please watch over me.

Make the sounds stop.

Just please make it quiet.

[Sounds fade]

Okay, somehow that's worse.

Goose, it's gone

real quiet out here,

which is

a little f***ed up.

Okay, let's get my mind

on something else.

Metal detector.

[Beeping]

[Static]

[Static]

[Phone ringing]

Damn it.

Okay, goose,

just hang on a second.

I'll head back.

All right, just hang on.

I'm coming back.

[Ringing continues]

Goose! goose, what is it?

I'm here, what's up?

[Goose]

Matt picked up something

outside the tent.

Something like what?

Cameras went dead before

i could pick it up.

But on the headphones?

Sh*t, yo, right there

in the camp with you.

Run it again.

Let's see if we can

hear anything.

[Static]

[Morgan]

I'm gonna go back out.

[Goose]

i don't think

that's a good idea.

Just stay there where you are.

You don't know what's

out there for sure.

Are you serious?

Of course I'm going back out.

I have to know what it is.

[Morgan]

well, whatever it is or was,

it's gone.

I've been out here for over

an hour and there's nothing.

Oh, my heart is pounding.

Okay, let's try

the metal detector again,

see if it can pick up

anything.

[Metal detector clicking]

[Clicking accelerates]

Okay.

well, this is weird.

Oh, this thing

is really close.

No more than maybe 30 feet.

Okay, hold on,

I'm gonna set up

the night vision.

Okay, set this

to a wide-range,

close-surface scan,

see what we got.

Oh.

This thing is,

like, right here.

[Clicking continues]

[Clicking accelerates]

What in the world?

[Clicking accelerates]

This thing is, like,

right under my feet.

Oh, god.

Oh, my god.

[Sniffling]

[Goose]

Morgan, I lost you.

Are you okay?

What happened?

Tell me, I want to see.

[Morgan sniffles]

[Morgan]

i found hal's mess kit.

It's what he always

took with him camping.

They're dad's.

I also found all

of these camera cards.

[Goose]

you found them, Morgan.

For the first time,

I'm actually really scared.

Goose?

Goose?

I'm gonna start streaming

the camera cards I found

in hal's mess kit.

I'm too screwed up

to watch them right now.

In the morning,

but not now.

I need to clear my head.

Watch the cameras, okay?

[Goose]

okay, okay.

Don't you worry.

You just get some sleep.

[Morgan sniffles]

-[Coyotes howling]

-[Morgan] F***ing wolves.

How many aliens

did we find today?

[Alex]

are you gonna

set up that tent?

Are we gonna sleep

here tonight?

I don't even

know what this is.

It's extra smooth...

And rare-blended.

Superb.

[Alex]

are you gonna

set up the tent?

Dude, I don't want to get bit

by, like, snakes out here.

Snakes, snakes,

snakes, snakes!

Whoo-- yeah, they're--

yeah, no.

That's not gonna happen.

That's not gonna happen.

It's not gonna happen.

It's not gonna happen

because I set up the tent.

[Alex]

you're so f***ed up, man.

[Hal]

you look marvelous.

Dude, I'm f***ing

burnt to sh*t.

[Hal]

yeah, you are.

[Sighs] I can't believe

you forgot the sunscreen.

[Hal]

uh, I don't need sunscreen.

I got some Portuguese in me.

It allows me to tan.

Yeah, what was his name?

[Hal laughs]

Hey.

Hey, that's not cool, dude.

It's not cool.

[Rumbling]

Sh*t.

Did you hear that?

[Hal]

uh, let me check.
