October 31st.
Welcome to the future
and CBC Toronto's new Live Satellite Eye on the
city. Greg Manson reporting. For those viewers whose power has just been
restored, the scene we are studying at the moment is the city Emergency
Command Centre on University Avenue.
The crowd we're zooming in on is in blowing
leaves out front and as you see it is composed of reporters, city officials
and concerned citizens. We see chief of police Sam Reba and Sandra
Weatherton of the University of Toronto astronomy faculty at the fringe near
the steps. Though they seem to be frowning into the wind, a tip that just
came in here at Live Satellite Eye might be cause for them to smile. Our
sources say that command team leader Jenson Sing is about to emerge and
announce that the power outages are ending and we are on track for an
alien-free future.
. . . and now the big doors are opening. Jenson
Sing is poking his head out. Wait a second. He's being forced out. Someone
has hold of his shoulder and he's struggling . . . slipping . . . somebody
has thrown him out on the dusty steps . . . he's going down, and he appears
to have injured his back in the fall.
Police Chief Reba is rushing to him . . . alien
terrorists . . . Live Satellite Eye is now reporting that alien terrorists
may have seized the Emergency Command Centre in Toronto.
Hold it - the doors have been thrown open wide. I
can't see anything there in the dark. Damn, look at that expression of
terror on Jenson Sing's face. Reba has drawn a gun from under his jacket,
and we can see something stepping out of the building.
My God! What is that thing! If I didn’t know
better I’d call it a Halloween hoax? It looks like some kind of half human
and half amphibian monster. And it appears to be roaring like one, too. Is
that smoke or steam shooting from its nose membranes? Isn’t it the same sort
of monster they reported everywhere just before New York went silent?
It's getting violent down there . . . Reba's
firing shots at him or it . . . and the bullets aren't even scratching the
thing. It’s like it eats bullets for breakfast.
Our man on the ground is now reporting that this
thing is an alien terrorist wearing some sort of protective suit. In spite
of that it sure looks like a real monster -- and it's crouching now. Perhaps
Reba wounded it. No, it's leaping. Unbelievable - it just used its skin
flaps like wings of some type and soared twelve meters into the air.
It's got Reba and it's throwing him down. People
are running, panicked, in all directions. That horrible slimy thing is
tearing at police chief Reba with some kind of knotted claws. It's ripping
his uniform open . . . blood is seeping out. Man, was that a vicious punch
to the breadbasket. Damn, I think I'm going to be sick. I can’t stand
reporting this stuff via live satellite. Nate, can't you patch out this
segment with a floating lens smear? --- What? You can't . . . some sort of
bug in the satellite feed. Oh no, why does the only lasting glitch have to
be with our equipment?
--------------
This is Greg Manson and CBC Toronto's new Live
Satellite Eye reporting from high
above the Emergency Command Centre. Power has been restored but the alien
tech bug has now also become the alien monster that murdered our police
chief.
And this is no guy in a Halloween costume. A hail
of police bullets has failed to stop this alien terrorist creature and it
has taken command team leader Jenson Sing hostage . . . holding him in a bus
shelter. We are focusing on medical personnel as they reach Police Chief
Reba’s body. It looks like they are preparing to move his remains.
Just down the road we see a fleet of police
cruisers blocking the monster's path to the north.
Our man on the ground reports that there are
questions as to what this thing really is . . . police experts are saying
it’s a terrorist wearing a special suit, while those who’ve seen it close up
swear it’s a monster and probably an alien. For those who can't see it
clearly it appears to be part amphibian, humanoid in form and seven feet
tall, with deadly claws on its webbed hands and feet, and fangs in its broad
facial orifice. This thing is said to stink like the living dead. Judging
from what it did to the police chief our guess at Live Satellite Eye is that
it is a monster of some type. Not necessarily an alien, perhaps something
genetically engineered. One report that came in from an RCMP informant is
that a secret experiment at a University of Toronto genetics laboratory may
have created it. Those in the world wide alien conspiracy camp say a
malfunction at SETI led to contact with hostile aliens and they have beamed
directly to Earth. Considering that New York is gone, their argument is a
credible one.
Holy shit, it's smashed out the side of the bus
shelter with one blow, and it's dragging a terrified Sing with it as it
heads for an alley. The police can't fire on it due to the hostage so
they're letting it move ahead.
We've got a shot of the far end of the alley now
and there appear to be a few members of the emergency task force already in
place -- waiting for it to emerge. Nothing but shadow is showing in the
alley mouth. They're hitting the area with spotlights.
There it is - it's dropping Sing and roaring -
spitting out green-tinted steam. Guess it doesn't like being in the
spotlight. It's moving, running, charging . . . the task force men are
backing up. The lead cop is lobbing something. Looks like a grenade or stun
bomb.
A direct hit and the flash explosion has knocked
the thing ten meters in the air. Sheer force has thrown it against a brick
wall. It's going down, down . . . and damn, it's getting up.
-----------------------------------
This is Greg Manson and CBC Toronto's new Live
Satellite Eye reporting from City Hall
where the alien monster is now running berserk. The police chief and seven
members of the emergency task force are dead, and emergency command team
leader Jenson Sing appears to be almost dead as the thing continues to drag
him across the city.
We now know the creature is not a human wearing a
special suit. The question is whether it is an alien being or some kind of
genetic monster. It does not appear to be of high intelligence, but its path
across town to city hall could indicate that it is looking for the centre of
government, perhaps to make demands of some sort.
Below we see a convoy of police cars following it
. . . and a group of costumed Halloween partiers joining it as it makes its
way into the adjacent square. An advance team of police officers has already
cleared children from the area and the creature now appears to be ignoring
the government offices and heading over with the partiers to the main
square.
Police are moving into the area to surround it
now and it has halted . . . we can see it looking around at approaching
police . . . some kind of yellow light brightening in its large eyes.
The glow is now enveloping its entire body. The
force appears to be weakening it . . . the thing is slipping to its knees.
Yuck, it's vomiting and the repulsive green liquid is spilling like a flood.
Wait, the glow is expanding . . . a sphere of
transparent light is now surrounding the creature . . . and the liquid isn't
vomit, but some kind of alien thing.
The partiers have moved away and the police have
opened fire now, but the bullets aren't getting through. One task force
member is moving up to the force field. He's touching it . . . and an
explosion has thrown him back.
Gross . . . unholy, that thing has turned the
cop’s body into pumpkin mush and disappeared. Jeeze, why can't we filter out
these scenes?
So I guess that puts an end to most theories. We
now know that the alien terrorist has no apparent motive other than to kill.
Here's something just in -- we have a report from
our geographical information system. It has traced the creature's strange
path around the city and is projecting its target destination. That
destination appears to be . . . my God! That monster is headed for us at the
Live Satellite Eye building!
-----------------------------------
This is Greg Manson and CBC Toronto's new Live
Satellite Eye reporting. The alien
monster has now arrived out front of the building, and against all advice
reporter Jack Livingston and a camera crew are going out to try and
communicate with it. Their belief and I think it is a mistaken belief, is
that the creature is an alien being and wants to make some sort of
statement.
Jeeze, I can't believe it. The thing is waiting
there under the theatre marquee across the road and Livingston is walking up
to it like he is going to interview the mayor.
Damn. Nate. Can't you fix that sound feed? We
can't hear what Livingston is saying. Wait, here it is.
". . . can you tell us why your kind has come
here to Earth?"
" Yeet … krevicth … Our eyes watch. . . yours are
watching. Yeet…. "
Oh no! It's got Livingston! and it's . . . . . .
. . . . . .

Earth, surrender now, Yeet. Watching. Krevich orch. . . . kritvetch -ict . .
