Ferocious Planet Page #3

He did the same

for me once.

What, saved your ass

in some other

parallel dimension?

No. Tehran.

The Iranian

nuke facility.

That was you.

No wonder the Senator

hated you.

I put together

a briefing report

for the President.

I just didn't make

the connection

between---

RIVERS:

Colonel? Colonel?

Now, Lieutenant.

Rivers!

[Squelch]

How's the rescue plan

coming, sir?

Perfect.

Just grab my feet.

[Grunting]

Whoa!

[Grunting]

This is some

rescue plan.

Dig your heels in.

Don't worry.

I've got you.

Pilates

six days a week.

[Grunting]

[Panting]

I don't hear anything.

That's good,

isn't it?

[Roaring]

Go!

Thanks.

No problem.

So, you were

in Tehran?

That's classified.

I gather the intel

for the President.

I know what

really happened--

the nukes,

the civilian hospital,

who really

gave the order.

[Rumbling]

Doesn't matter now!

We got bigger problems!

Let's go!

Damn,

we need something

more effective

to fight

that thing.

We've got to find something

we can make an IED with.

Solvents, cleaners--

whatever you can find.

Where's

the other one?

He didn't make it.

What's that smell?

Don't poke

the aliens.

Okay.

They're filled

with ammonia.

It's in their blood.

Great. So, don't

poke the aliens.

Fascinating.

Something happen

to him?

No. Looks like

he punctured

an internal organ

filled with some

sort of acid.

Acid? Can we use that

as an explosive?

[Rumbling]

Uh, depending on

what it is--maybe.

Lieutenant,

you got a lighter?

Yeah.

Here you go.

All right. Looks like

we got something

we can use.

Try to get as much

of that as you can.

Roger that.

How are we doing

on repairs?

I've almost got

everything ready.

And I've made

the necessary

adjustments

to get us home...

I think.

You think?

[Rumbling]

The system's

rebooting.

We'll know for sure

in about 15 minutes.

Excellent. Right,

let's get ready to go.

The thing is--

I have to object.

We need to spend

more time exploring.

We should gather

more information...

collect more

samples--

No, wait--

There's no reason

why we can't.

To leave now would

be irresponsible.

If you'll

let me finish--

We have

another problem.

The fusion generator

needs fuel to operate.

What kind of fuel?

[Creature roaring]

Water.

Okay, well,

that shouldn't be

a problem.

Ordinarily, no.

But, in case you

haven't noticed,

we don't exactly have

working faucets here.

And the nearest plumber's

over 100 dimensions away.

Well, couldn't we all

just pee in a cup?

Would that work?

How much water

do we need?

Okay. Do we have any water

in the room?

There's a few liters of

the bottled stuff.

No, it's not enough.

We'll find it.

It's the most common

substance in the world.

Uh, hi. We're not

on our world.

We'll find it.

That's perfect.

It'll give us a chance

to explore

more of the planet.

Is this thing portable?

How much does it weigh?

It doesn't matter.

We don't have time.

Doctor, with all

due respect--

No, we don't

have time.

According to

my calculations,

we only have six hours

before the aligned

conjunction

of this dimension

with our own

suffers quantum collapse.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

For those of us

without PhD's

Once the dimensions

fall out of alignment...

We're stuck here

forever.

[Screaming]

Protect that machine!

Kill it!

Kill it!

[Roaring]

It should have been hit!

It should have been hit!

O'HARA:
Help me with the--

[Roaring]

Where is it?

[Shouting]

[Shouting]

[Snarling]

Got you.

[Grinding]

BURK:

What's that sound?

Is it the roof

collapsing?

Go!

Come on, move!

[Screaming]

[Grunting]

Anybody?

Anybody hear me?

Anybody?!

Over here.

Rivers, you okay?

[Grunting]

I'm okay, Colonel.

Just a little

shaken up.

FAST:
Help!

Someone's here!

Hey!

Help!

[Grunting]

Okay? Are you sure?

Yeah.

Have you seen Jill?

I don't know

who Jill is.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Just sit down

for a minute.

Okay, man,

this is gonna hurt.

I can take it.

I can take it.

Okay. On three.

One...

two!

Ohh!

You trying to rip

my whole arm off?!

I--

God!

I'm sorry. Let me

go get something to

wrap that up with.

You're not qualified!

You're not qualified!

O'Hara! Murphy!

Help!

Give me a hand.

Take your time.

[Grunting]

[Grunting]

Is Dr. O'Hara okay?

We're still

looking for her.

The machine.

What about

the machine?

O'Hara?!

If the machine's

damaged, we can't

get home.

O'Hara.

Well, this is

a hell of a day.

A science experiment

goes wrong,

sticks us in

a monster-filled

parallel dimension

with six hours

to get home.

Still not as bad

as Tehran.

Not yet.

Jill!

Can you hear me?!

Over here.

[Grunting]

You okay?

Been better.

But I'll live.

All right,

how's the machine?

[Beeping]

Everything looks good.

Excellent. Lieutenant,

were you able

to get any of

that nasty blood

from the monster?

Yeah, got it.

Perfect. Let's see

if we can find

some pipes.

Maybe we can make

an IED.

Roger that.

Hey...you sure

you're all right?

I'm good.

Yeah.

[Creature roaring]

We're not

safe here.

As soon as everybody

catches their breath,

we gotta move out.

Where are we

gonna go?

Somewhere where

our asses

aren't sticking out in

the middle of the air.

No, we should

stay here.

[Creature roaring]

No, we need

to move out.

That thing needs

of water to operate.

Murphy, carry it.

Let's go.

Yeah.

Move out!

Okay.

You relax.

I'll carry it.

This isn't

heavy at all!

Amazing.

What do you

make of it?

The pulse radius

is larger than

I would've guessed.

These meters were,

what--

the front of

the building?

About that.

Check this out!

Found this half-buried

in the dirt!

Eh?

How come

the whole sidewalk

wasn't with it? Hm?

Why did just bits and pieces

seem to get pulled in?

Well, I can only theorize.

But the energy pulse

had the shape of

an inverted funnel.

The large side was

closest to the machine--

our control room.

The smaller end of

the funnel extended out.

By the looks of it,

half a click

from the machine.

So, only small things

got pulled in.

The further

from the machine,

the smaller the area

it pulled from.

[Creature roaring]

All right, guys.

We need to get going.

The forest to the right

looks more dense.

Where there's

more growth,

there's water.

Oh, my God.

Look.

I knew it.

I just knew it.

RIVERS:
What do you make

of it, Colonel?

Looks like

a building.

Only intelligent life

could build something

like that.

Do you understand

what this means?

Colonel, look.

You see that break

in that section

of trees?

Maybe that's--

Water.

We need to get

to the water,

as quickly as we can.

Are you kidding me?

There's no guarantee

that there's a stream

down there.

But that is undoubtedly

a building built by

intelligent life.

Or it could be the home

of the things that have

been trying to kill us.

I doubt it.

These creatures

seem to run

purely on

animal instinct.

There's no way

they built that
