Plan 9 Page #6

-They're shooting anyone that tries to cross it.

-What?

I guess they don't want

to take chances that...

that we're one of them.

Or there could be another

answer to your riddle.

What I'm saying is,

what if they knew you were alive

and were attempting to contain

what they believe

is a contamination area.

We don't have time

for conspiracy theories.

People are dying.

Are you sure it's okay

to just cross this bridge?

-Hey, guys, this one works.

-Perfect.

But we're not taking any more

survivors, it's too dangerous.

It's time to cross.

Wait a second, are you

leading these people?

They needed somebody.

I understand, but maybe

you should think about this.

I have.

We cross now.

This is a mistake, missy.

But maybe they know

what they're doing.

God, I don't like this.

I said, fire.

It's okay. I don't think

they're gonna shoot us?

Fire.

No!

Get back.

Go! Go!

What the hell's

going on back there?

We've...

We've been here a long time.

-Stark. Stand down.

-I can't do that, sir.

We are on a mission, soldier.

You're just wasting time.

I will not kill

innocent people, sir.

Enough of this.

Where do you stand, horner?

Somebody has to be alive

to carry out the mission.

The next shockwave will hit

within the hour.

Jeff.

My god.

We need to see

this through.

Jeff, no.

-What are you doing?

-We can help.

-Nope.

-What?

Jeff, I'm not

a smart man.

Okay, I know

just enough to get by.

That's about it.

You have been working

the entire night

trying to get

to this girl,

you finally have her,

and now you wanna

take her back

into immediate danger,

just to see if you guys'll

make it out okay?

-We can help.

-No.

You can't.

Your part

in this story is over.

You got the girl,

in the middle

of a world ending event.

Both of you should

be dead. Very dead.

But you're not, it couldn't

be any clearer than that.

-No, I...

-you did your job.

You're the hero.

Now take your wife,

and find a safe place.

You're a good man, Jeff.

Don't get stupid on me.

Thanks.

So you're not gonna kill us?

It's not my mission.

But until we get

the threat neutralized.

I would recommend not

sticking your head out of town.

No.

We've seen first hand

what our government's policy

towards that kind of threat is.

Okay, listen up.

Since we're down

a man or two,

I need all your help

killing all the bad guys.

So if you've got the guts,

pick up a weapon and follow.

You wanna come kill some aliens?

Yup.

Come on. Let's go finish

the third act.

What's in there?

We don't know exactly.

Captain's the only one

that's been in there.

He took off his clothes

and went after a hostel.

I've seen

this recently.

That is a trademark

of the insane.

Captain came through

here all right.

Professor.

Lucy.

-Get out of here.

-We're gonna get you out.

-They're after you.

-What?

The project you were working on.

The solaranite project.

How did you know about my

photon fission research?

We don't have

time for this.

Splitting a photon.

It's not the same

as splitting an atom.

Its...

its power is enormous.

And they fear it.

It's... it's too strong

of a weapon for us to have.

We can't control it.

My god.

I didn't know.

You... you have

to get out of here.

This is all my fault.

Everything's bad.

Everything's bad.

And why aren't

they killing us?

Captain.

You shouldn't breathe

this stuff in.

You don't belong here.

Bye, captain.

The gas, it's starting

to burn.

I killed the guy

who was making the gas.

I know, I saw.

Stark just went that way

after the naked guy.

Shouldn't we go after Lucy?

-Nice knowing you.

-Yeah.

Sh*t!

Are you okay?

No.

When I was jealous,

I had

this communicator

to make my vocals

sound into something

you can understand.

Do not mind him.

He knew nothing of you

so we silenced him.

We learned of you

from the old one.

You have started a war

between my people and yours.

I will let

none survive.

True...

We have you now,

but soon others

will follow your ignorance.

So why not skip

to the end of your story

where you all fall

under our feet.

Your people do not

have the mental capacity

to keep up with the

technology you develop.

You wield weapons

above your knowledge

and play with them like toys.

You are a stupid race.

I'm gonna take you

back to our home world

for interrogation.

Everyone is dead because of me.

Yeah.

That they are.

Sorry for the delay.

Harper, your face.

End of the road,

captain.

But, sergeant,

I'm so glad you're here.

My investigation's...

hey, hey, hey!

I'm getting to it. Jeez.

Chatty cathys.

What I was trying to say

is that

my research subjects,

they've revealed that they're

not too dissimilar from us.

Two major points of comparison.

One, they don't enjoy

having their spinal cords

removed from their a**hole.

And also their forward

operating bases,

well they also come with

a self-destruct mechanism.

Theirs just happens to be in the

form of a lever in this vat of goo.

When activated it will critically

overload their ship's power supply.

What do you say,

sergeant?

Roshambo you for it?

I'm pretty sure

I'm gonna pick gun.

More for me.

Clarify. He's going to implode

the hive that we're standing in?

It looks that way.

Hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey, hey, hey.

Dead.

No longer breathing.

With the exception

of whatever that was,

they've all

looked alike.

Do you know why?

Seems like

they only have

two forms of skin

to hide behind.

Male and female.

They probably weren't planning

on blending in for very long.

We can go now.

How do you

know everything?

They took me

from my lab.

I'm so glad

you're here.

Now I can see

my son again.

We interrupt our programming.

This is an national emergency.

Important details follow.

This is boss man Mike

on the mic.

Apparently nobody told

these things

that I was the boss man.

Received word that the

military is moving away.

Apparently the threat

has passed, kiddies.

They're now

on to Montana

or someplace like that.

Good luck

and good riddance

to those poor saps.

-Alice.

-Montana?

Exterminate them all.

Lucy,

I think we're gonna

need a new plan.

I got one more ditty left in me,

this is the boss man Mike

saying good night.

Hopefully the bedbugs

didn't bite.

Hey. Hey, man,

you okay?

They're just letting people out

of town this morning.

Military's done gone.

They stopped shooting us.

Damn near lost

my ass last night.

Had those things

all over my camper.

The white eyed ones too.

Boss man says they're like some

sort of zombie leader or something.

Killed my dog.

Ate my horse.

And my wife too.

Made it through.

God damn, it's good to be alive.

Didn't think I would.

Since they're using their

surroundings and wildlife.

Damn.

I'm gonna change my ways.

I tell you me,

last night woke me up.

I'm gonna be

a better person.

Life, man.

Living.

That's where it's at.

You don't look so good.

Where do you want me

to take you, hospital?
