NFTS Planning a scene exercise- First Draft

INT - A METALLIC CORRIDOR

A robot (C2) is hurrying along the corridor constantly looking over his shoulder.

He arrives at a door and touches the access panel. The screen shows his identity and flashes "Access Granted". The door slides open. C2 enters the room. The door starts to close.

INT - A METALLIC ROOM.

THIS SCENE IS "SPOKEN" IN ROBOTIC BEEPING AND SUBTITLED IN ENGLISH


A robot (C1) is inertly standing behind a desk. C1 powers up and turns to the door as C2 rushes in. The door closes.

                                                                C2
                                    help me – they’re coming for me – if they get me (sob) it’s all over
                                                                C1
                                     stay calm I can help you
C2 is nervously glancing between the door and the inside of the room. C1 takes something from a drawer and offers it to C2.
                                                                 C1
                                     this ...

C2 grabs the object.
                                                                  C2
                                    What is it?
                                                                  C1
                                     It's a teleport. Push the green button.
                                                                  C2

                                    And what about ...

The door starts to open.  C2 realises he has no choice, pushes the button and disappears. An engineer robot (C3)  stands in the doorway with C2’s dossier. C3 looks back and forth between C1 and C2's photograph in his file shaking his head. We see on the dossier that C2 is "overdue for Upgrade to Windows 10. Enforcement approved".
