Piercing Brightness (2013)
We're being followed.
I think you should put those away. Why have we come here anyway? We're blending in. Acclimatizing. Do you know where we are going? No. Idiot. We don't have any money. What is he talking about? He is a contact. He is uncorrupted. How can you be sure? I have seen it. He can be trusted. Are you sure about him? He may have been here too long. He's erratic. Yes. I remember him. Don't you? The class clown. Are you certain he's not corrupted? What would we want with food? We can't wear these. Choose something for me to wear, kid. The Glorious 100 were sent to secretly observe the birth and development of another planet for the mutual benefit of our world and their world. The return of the 100 remains the primary mission goal. This is primitive. It must take up so much time. I can't believe this problem has not been addressed. Our host seems quite taken with these earthly ways. It's possible he is not as uncorrupted as we first thought. I want to observe the humans. We should wait here where it's safe. Naseer can tend to us. No. If we return home tomorrow what stories can we tell? We have eaten food. We have watched yet more films. But we have experienced nothing. I have not even managed to light this cigarette. It's unsafe. We need to guard the stones. Naseer can look after them. We need to experience this planet. It's an opportunity that will never be repeated. Come on... just for a short while. It's foolish. What if something goes wrong? Nothing will go wrong. How could it? I wonder where they've gone? Where are they? Come on, what are you doing? Keep up. I'm going to "dance". You're what? Dance over there. Don't. Will we get there on time? Yes... Take these... Make your preparations. Take them. Hold them tighter. The Glorious 100 were sent to secretly observe the birth and development of another planet... ...of another planet for the mutual benefit of our world and their world. We're being followed. They're getting closer. How close? Closer. How much further? Damn scoundrel. Moron! |
