What? And Give Up Show Business? – Act II Scene 5
Chapter: What? And Give Up Show Business?
Location: Pirate Volcano Base
CUT TO
EXT – Day – Mark is hanging on the side of a volcano lair with a chisel making into a human shape.
MARK
Still, it would be better if it was shaped like a skull.
I thought the good guys might use a “fake news transmission” or “delayed news transmission” trick to delay the bad guys. But now it seems like they are too late for even that. Unless they already did it (perhaps the base was actually not able to recieve directly from Soykil Territory?) and these two have been listening to a delayed recording all along.
Interesting thought. Obviously a society as paranoid as the Soykils would delay their transmissions for propaganda editing purposes. But it probably wouldn’t be a long enough delay to help in this situation.
Good work … actually having a reason why put here in death trap instead of killing her. Note that they would still have hard time cleaning any DNA traces of her, like hairs and skin cells … those are falling all the time …
Agreed. While the little stuff might be easier to bleach away, it’s also harder to find all of it. But at least it’s a better excuse than your average episode of TV’s Batman.
