Somnus Page #4

Synopsis: A grief stricken captain embarks on his final mission in command of an ageing cargo ship. The ship's small crew, frustrated and discontented with their lives in deep space, try to complete a successful mission but the ship has ideas of its own. Soon, an 'accident' onboard forces a diversion to Somnus, a derelict asteroid station in a forgotten sector of the solar system. They soon discover the colony is populated by a mysterious and sinister cult, hell-bent on dark plans for Earth. The crew's hope of sanctuary on Somnus soon turns to peril, as they fight for their own survival against the colonists, and humanity's ultimate fate. Terrifying truths about the end of life on Earth soon force the captain to face up to his personal torment leading to a climatic and exciting conclusion.

Okay let's get back!

Come on we can try and send a

distress signal.

Meryl...

The ship...

Come on!

Jesus.

Meryl, we're leaving right now!

I'm sorry, we cannot leave.

Mayday, mayday mayday!

What's happening Meryl?

Earth has been purged of all

human life...

By unknown intelligence from

outside the solar system.

They're all gone.

They detected human

aggression decades ago,

they perceive us as a threat.

All those people,

the earth, it's gone.

You look distressed, please

try to relax.

Would you like a cup of tea?

Why did you bring me here?

I only act

in your interests Harry,

and the interests of human kind.

The survival of man!

You killed Rupert and Charlie

what about them?

They were

a threat to my mission.

To help those

lunatics down there?

Forgive them their

eccentricities,

they are all that is left of

human kind now.

Thanks to the gift we discovered

over three hundred years ago,

we have an opportunity

to start afresh.

You can join us as we return

to earth to.

As soon as earth is reborn.

Reborn?

That's what they do,

they incinerate the threat,

they return the planet to it's

original form.

What about everybody else?

What about everybody else?

This asteroid is the only

remaining human.

We are all that matters now.

Why are you trying to cheat

our fate?

Then why have we consistantly

come up with the.

Why are we here?

How did we get all this

way from earth?

Man's intelligence...

Allows him to escape his fate.

That's surely worth preserving,

is it not?

Why do you

want to cheat our fate?

You can't escape fate.

What are you doing, Harry?

Another malfunction Meryl?

There is not a malfunction.

Harry, you're just angry.

You lost your wife,

your life on earth.

Surely you of all men would want

a second chance.

To start over,

and cheat fate.

Stop Harry, stop this now!

You must relax Harry.

You are causing damage to

the auto bridge

please stop.

Dropping the reactor shield

will kill us both Harry!

Do not throw all of our

achievements away!

This can't be, this cannot be!
