Panel Description Dialog

1.1 A mechanical and organic bird

in the finger of the armored
glove of Antonius, his right
hand covered with blood and
dirt.

1.2 The bird flies into a red

sky where it seems to be more
covered by fog than any clear
cloud. It is very easy to
see that it is someplace in
a street alley. Some sorts of
a city limit. There is a brick
wall filled with tubes and
rare crumbling sculptures all
around it.

1.3 Antonius stands looking SALMOS

up watching how the bird
disappears inside the red
sky. A voice is heard from
the back. He is wearing some
kind of a powered suit.
So you were waiting for me here.
I’m glad you kept your promise.
You wanted to get rid of me. You
wanted to change, huh?!

1.4 In the right side of Antonius

is possible to see an
underground river filled with
bodies and parts of garbage,
parts of cars, robots, etc.
Antonius is silent.

1.5 We can see the back of Salmos

(also wearing a power suit)
and Antonius is still giving
his back to Salmos. We can
see a wider scenario, the
horizon is somehow clear, a
city very far, a wide river
at both of their right sides,
tunnels on their left sides,
sculptures even a couple of
bodies lying on the ground.
They don’t look alike at all.
Salmos and Antonius, I mean.

2.1 Salmos is touching the ground.

2.2 We see that Salmos is touching

blood.

2.3 Salmos is painting something

with the blood.

2.4 There are three faces, one

happy, another serious and
another sad face.

2.5 Salmos looks up. A shadow

reflects on him.

2.6 Salmos looks surprised but

smiling.

2.7 Antonius has delivered a

massive punch that destroyed
the ground. Salmos dodges the
attack.

2.8 Salmos is jumping and moving SALMOS

backwards. Of us, who is the shadow? Should
we change? Should we create a new
one? What are we?

2.9 There is fog surrounding

Antonius, we see part of his
chest up to his face, the
other parts of his body are
clearly unwatchable because
of the fog obviously caused
by the attack he did against
Salmos. Antonius is serious
with hate and somehow horror
in his eyes after hearing what
Salmos just said.

Dialog
ANTONIUS
We are the only ones that remain
of our team. We are nothing but
mere clones of a once good man
brought back to life in the form
of us. We are nothing but viruses,
going from place to place killing,
exterminating everything.
SALMOS
You make me wanna cry! Sure you
do.
SALMOS
We both know that we don’t know
where we come from. But saying
that we are clones of somebody
else that died long ago is a very
poor thing to say. Not to mention
that you begun attacking me.

4.1 Perspective view from the back

of Antonius we can see how
Salmos is getting close by
walking.

4.2 Viewing from the chest to the SALMOS

whole of his head Salmos is
walking, talking and seeing at
Antonius.
We are no clones nor even related
by nothing except of what we do.
If guessing in this circumstances
we are, then, I guess, we are
survivors but we can’t remember
being survivors of what. Or simply
we erased something from our
memories to keep things safe
because of what we do. I’m not
even sure if fighting to the death
is the real answer.

4.3 Antonius smiles. ANTONIUS

For some reason, I know that if
any of us survives this fight we
will get to know why we know each
other and why we can’t remember
anything up to this point. So the
answer is totally pointless.

4.4 Salmos looks serious, his face SALMOS

even shows a sad looking grin. I know what it is. Either way, you
will never know.

4.5 With a smile on his face, ANTONIUS

showing fury in his eyes This is the reality of life,
there is Antonius preparing right? Yes, it is.
to attack.

4.6 We see the shadow of Antonius

reflecting on the wall in his
right side.

5.1 A close up into the shadow of

Antonius, something strange
shows out of the shadow,
like several tiny little eyes
around a tiny brown and green
head.

5.2 We see Salmos and his shadow

reflecting itself and also
something weird coming out of
it too.

5.3 Salmos runs to confront

Antonius.

5.4 Antonius is running directly

to Salmos in an offensive
position of brutal attack.

5.5 Antonius and Salmos appears

in this same Panel getting
close to each other. Antonius
is jumping, while Salmos is
running from below. We can
clearly see the other side
of the river and all those
stacked things of a pyramid of
garbage.

5.6 From the above part of that

pile of things in the river
something is coming up from
the insides of a part where
the light doesn’t reach.
Page 6

Panel Description Dialog

6.1 The thing that is coming up BROWN-GREEN HEAD

is nothing but that strange
Brown-Green Head with several
eyes around it. This thing
talks. The balloons come from
different directions around
it.
Is coming to an end. We should
better kill them now. No, we can’t
do that, we don’t know if there
are more of them. We better be
careful and patiently absorb all
their energies until one of them
dies or them both. This is what we
have learned.

6.2 Antonius is kicking at Salmos

in the stomach, it is hurting
him, Salmos even spits blood
like vomiting.

6.3 Almost instantly Salmos takes

some kind of a sword out of
some part of his back.

6.4 Salmos attacks Antonius left

side with the sword doing a
very fast move.

6.5 Antonius tries to evade the

attack but his left arm is
easily cut off.

6.6 Antonius looks furious but

equally scared.

6.7 Antonius with a sudden move

and clearly losing balance of
his body stretches his right
arm.

6.8 With his right hand, Antonius

grabs Salmos head.
Page 7

attack but is surprised by Grrrr!!!
Antonius’ move which makes him
desperately angry.

7.2 They both are falling to the

ground.

7.3 Antonius kicks with his left

foot the right arm of Salmos.

7.4 Some kind of energy is coming

out of Antonius right arm.

7.5 Salmos moves his arm with the

sword in another direction to
blow Antonius chest.

7.6 Salmos head explodes.

7.7 Salmos makes a cut in the

chest of Antonius, but it
causes superficial damage
only.

7.8 Both bodies are in the ground.

7.9 Antonius is lying there on the ANTONIUS

ground looking at the sky. He You were wrong, Salmos. I can’t
thinks for himself. remember nothing. No signs, no
memories. I see, you were right.

7.10 His arm, through his powered ANTONIUS

suit is regenerating. Only remains the feeling that we
were hurting each other forced to
do it by something else.
Page 8

Panel Description Dialog

8.1 We see the headless body of ANTONIUS

Salmos. We got it all wrong. We lost sight
of things. Just plane and simple
darkness.

8.2 Antonius faints.

8.3 From the bulk of garbage BROWN-GREEN HEAD

and other things inside the
river. The Brown-Green Head
is growing like a tree with
several arms, but here are
several heads instead and each
one of them saying different
things to each other.
He can’t see us. But he survived.
We got to find a way and get
inside of him again, fight their
will which we can’t control. We
should get better and stronger and
powerful. Those words. Yes.

8.4 From a more wide open view of

that part of the river where
the several Brown-Green Heads
are, something is appearing
from above.

8.5 It looks like a spaceship

materializing out of the
invisible.

8.6 The shadow of the spaceship is BROWN-GREEN HEAD

covering the Brown-Green Head, It was a trap. We got careless.
it realizes about it, probably
too late.

8.7 A mechanical arm is out of the

below part of the ship and it
deploys some kind of energy
light pointing and covering
the whole of that Brown-Green
Head.

9.3 The spaceship flies across the

sky.

9.4 The spaceship is looking more

like a shooting star.

9.5 We are getting a closer look

from above looking at the
bodies of Antonius and Salmos.
But this time not inside the
spaceship which is very far
now but still visible from
