==== NOTES ============ - I have not figured out the names for the Krogan yet, nor the nickname they use for Jack. So for now, they are "Krogan 1", "Krogan 2", and "Nickname". In the final draft, these will be proper names. - This is a FIRST DRAFT. It has not been edited or revised in any way. Everything is prone to change, and things are prone to be cut, especially from the pre-sex scene. I tend to write long scenes, and then in later edits I cut them down. Blue Star Episode 3's pre-sex and post-sex scenes, for example, were cut down by nearly half. It is likely this screenplay will be similarly cut down as well. - At this point, I have eschewed all pretenses of arbitrarily restricting these episodes, for the sake of runtime. They run as long as they need to in order to tell their story. So expect this to be a long episode like Episode 3, both in terms of run-time and production-time. - Production on Episode 4 will not begin until AFTER Hiveship has been completed. So this is a long ways away. A LONG ways away. ==== PRE-SEX ========== (01; A fixed-camera shot looking into a slummy city street. It is dark and raining, the street illuminated by deep-orange streetlights, the shops lit up by their own neon signs, half of them flickering wearily. The camera is positioned under an implicit awning. After a moment to establish the setting, a figure wearing a dark hoodie steps into frame, also under the awning, back to the camera. He stops with his head and shoulders in frame, and reaches back to pull down his hood, revealing the back of a Batarian head. The Batarian looks around, jittery and paranoid.) (02; A cut to Jack, laying prone on a rooftop, aiming through the scope of a large-caliber sniper rifle. She is slowly adjusting the sights.) (03; A close-up of the Batarian's wrist, which has an Omni-watch that he is looking at.) BATARIAN (nervous and paranoid, under his breath): "Come on... Come on..." (04; A shot from above and behind the Batarian, with a weapon-scope cross overlay. The scope-camera is swaying slightly and coming into and out of focus, as it takes aim at the Batarian's head. The Batarian is standing in front of a non-descript storefront with a burnt-out neon sign.) (05; A close-up of Jack's finger gently squeezing the sniper rifle's trigger.) (06; A full-body shot of the Batarian standing in front of the store, holding his watch-hand to his chest as he looks around, jittery. His foot is tapping with impatience.) (07; Close-up of Batarian as he continues to look around, obviously terrified) BATARIAN (under his breath): "That fucking crazy human..." (08; A close-up of the sniper rifle's muzzle. After a moment, it kicks back in a fireball, its bassy sound booming and reverberating as it fires its heavy slug) (09; Close-up of the Batarian tapping his foot) BATARIAN (under his breath): "Where the fuck are they..?" (10; A close-up of the bullet zooming through the air, buildings zipping past behind it, as it spins quickly and very gently tumbles in the air) (11; A side-shot of the Batarian standing under the awning, still waiting impatiently and nervously.) (12; A close-up of Jack's hand holding the rifle. She gently moves her fingers away from the barrel, and biotic energy wraps around her hand.) (13; Another close-up of the bullet zooming through the air. A shell of biotic energy wraps around it, and a trail of biotic energy flies from behind it) (14; A waist-up shot from behind the Batarian, with the slummy town sprawling ahead of him, with a noticeable incline allowing for an implied distance longer than the explicit scenebuild shown. He raises his wrist to look at his watch again, when suddenly a burst of blood sprays out from the back of the Batarian's head toward the camera, and he immediately drops to the ground. A Turian female screams in the background at the sudden violence. After a pregnant moment, the camera begins moving forward and tilting upward with the incline of the scenebuild, quickly picking up speed and aiming farther and farther up, before it eventually begins zooming quickly through the implied scenebuild, with buildings zooming past it on both sides. After a long moment of this quick travel, suggesting a long distance, a large building comes into view directly ahead. The camera begins slowing down as it closes in on the ceiling, before finally coming to rest with the barrel of Jack's rifle just under the center of the frame. Jack looks up from the scope, and smiles smugly at her herself, delivering a witty line to herself. Shortly after delivering the line, the tip of a shotgun comes from out of frame and presses itself against Jack's head, as the Krogan delivers his line. Jack's eyes immediately widen in shock.) JACK (smugly, to herself): "Gotcha." KROGAN 1 (casually): "Ditto." (15; A high-angle shot from behind the Krogan holding a shotgun, one-handed, to Jack's head. Another Krogan is standing to one side, aiming his shotgun nervously at her.) KROGAN 1 (casually): "You know how this works, Nickname." (16; A side-shot of Krogan 1 holding the shotgun down at Jack's head, adjusting his hand position as she implicitly stands up into frame. Her back is still to the Krogan, her face toward us. Krogan 2 is directly opposite the camera, and he also adjusts to keep his aim on her. The camera's framing is such that she stands up into a close-up. She is wearing a relaxed expression.) (17; An over-the-shoulder shot from Krogan 1, looking toward Jack, whom he is still holding his shotgun toward, head-first. Her back is still turned to the Krogan, her hands calmly at her sides.) JACK (calmly, with a hint of smugness despite her situation): "I was wondering if the jellies would break a deal with you, Krogan 1." (18; A waist-up shot of Jack as she turns around to face Krogan 1. As she begins to move, Krogan 2 tenses and focuses his aim on her. She lazily brings her arms up about chest high. Jack continues speaking as she turns around.) JACK (calmly smug): "Here to turn me in, then?" (19; A waist-up shot of Krogan 1 as he rocks his back in a single chesty chortle. As he recovers from his laugh, he pulls his shotgun down and holds it with both hands, casually aiming at Jack.) KROGAN 1 (casually, as he speaks with his old friend): "Hah! They wanted nothing more than to get rid of me." (20; A waist-up shot of Krogan 2, aiming nervously at Jack. Krogan 1 turns his attention to him as he speaks, in turn catching Krogan 2's attention) KROGAN 1 (cheerily recounting a story): "You've never seen a pissed Hanar, Krogan 2, till you crash a station into one of their moons!" (22; A waist-up shot of Jack, her back to the camera. Krogan 1 returns his attention to her, and idly resettles the weight of the shotgun, never taking it off her. After he speaks, Jack shrugs and responds.) KROGAN 1 (decidedly less cheery, almost demure even): "But, no. Not here to turn you in. You pissed someone off, Nickname. Someone with connections." JACK (shrugging, keeping her cool demeanor): "Just another day, right?" (23; A close-up of Krogan 1 as his expression drops. There is a long pause between his two sentences.) KROGAN 1 (morosely): "Yeah. Just another day." (24; A high-angle shot looking down on the three. It hangs for an uncomfortable time, before Jack looks to Krogan 2, returning her look to Krogan 1 and speaking) JACK (awkwardly): "So... We actually doing this?" (25; A waist-up shot of Krogan 1 as he lets out a big sigh. After his first sentence, he gestures with his shotgun.) *KROGAN 1 lets out a big sigh* KROGAN 1 (morosely): "Yeah. On your knees." (26; A side-shot focused around Jack's waist, as she gets down on her knees, hands behind her head. When she settles, the camera is about high-level with her. As she settles into position, she looks up at Krogan 1, squinting against the rain hitting her face. After her first line, she gives a single chuckle before looking down at the ground.) JACK (casually): "I always said we'd end up killing each other." *JACK gives a single, mirthless chuckle* JACK (quietly, almost more to herself): "I just always thought it'd be *ME* killing *YOU*." (27; A full-body shot as Krogan 1 resettles his weight, aiming his shotgun at Jack's head again.) KROGAN 1 (trying to make the best of a dark situation): "You know, I never thought I'd regret having you on your knees for me." (28; Jack looks back up at him, again squinting against the rain. She just looks at him for a long moment, before speaking) JACK (almost in disbelief): "Seriously?" *JACK gives another single chuckle, this time genuine* JACK (slightly her head slightly, an amused smirk on her face): "You fucking pervert." (29; A side-shot of Krogan 2, still aiming his shotgun at Jack, but now looking at Krogan 1) KROGAN 2 (awkwardly): "We, uhh... We gonna do this, boss?" (30; Close-up of Krogan 1 looking down at Jack. He looks away in thought for a moment, before looking back at her.) KROGAN 1 (hesitantly): "You wanna..? You know, for old time's sake?" (31; A wide shot of the whole scene, with the camera pulled out unnecessarily far, to give the illusion of them being small in the grand scheme of things. Hoorah cinematic symbolism! A pause, before Jack speaks, still looking up at him.) JACK (in mild disbelief): "Are you seriously asking if I want to fuck? Right now? As you're about to kill me?" (32; An over-the-shoulder shot of Krogan 2, whose looking at Krogan 1. Krogan 1 hems and haws, shrugging his shoulders awkwardly as he makes a sound.) (33; A POV shot from Krogan 1, looking down at Jack, he's looking up at him. Jack looks over at Krogan 2 for a moment, before returning her attention to Krogan 1. She jerks her head toward Krogan 2 as she speaks.) JACK (her calm smugness returning): "I bet you want your friend to join us, too." KROGAN 2 (startled at being included): "What?" (34; Close-up of Krogan 1) KROGAN 1 (his eyes lighting up, energy and arousal dismissing his morose mood): "Would you say 'no' to that?" (35; A side-shot of Krogan 2. Jack turns to look at him as she speaks, a smug grin on her face) JACK (smugly): "Fuck no, I wouldn't." (36; A close-up of Jack as she points with her chin toward the stairwell doorway behind Krogan 1. As she speaks, the camera swings to show the doorway.) JACK (casually): "Can we do it inside, though?" (37; A full-body shot, camera behind Jack, who still has her hands behind he head, completely drenched in the pouring rain) JACK (casually): "I don't want to catch pnuemonia again." (38; Cut to black) ==== SEX ============== And then they banged. Here is a picture of what all that banging could entail: https://files.catbox.moe/64fe35.png ==== POST-SEX ========= (01; Jack, on her knees between the two Krogan, cum still on her face, looks up with a smug expression first at Krogan 1, then at Krogan 2, before returning her gaze to Krogan 1 and speaking) JACK (feigning resignation): "Well, I guess that's that, then." (02; A high-angle shot of Krogan 1 as he shifts awkwardly. The camera is positioned in such a way to show that his shotgun is still leaning against the railing, out of easy reach. At first, it is out of focus, but when Jack starts to speak, the focus shifts to the shotgun.) KROGAN 1 (feeling the awkwardness of the situation): "Yep... I guess it is, then." JACK (her signature smugness returning): "You know, it's kind of funny, actually." (03; A close-up of Jack's hand, which she flicks and has biotic energy form in her palm) KROGAN 1 (still a bit awkward): "What is?" (04; A high-angle shot of Jack beaming a toothy smile at Krogan 1, cum still on her face) JACK (smugness overflowing from her at this point): "I was right after all." (05; A full-body shot as Jack abruptly stands up, and in one fluid motion, pushes Krogan 1 aside, stumbling him, with her non-biotic hand; reaches toward his leg without grabbing it with her biotic hand and causing a biotic well to appear at his ankle; twists her body in a heavy tossing motion, flinging Krogan 1 over the edge of the rail and plunging down the middle of the stairwell; spins on her ankles toward Krogan 2; and reaches her biotic hand out toward Krogan 2, causing biotic energy to appear on his chest, pushing him against the far wall and pinning him to it.) (06; A waist-up side shot of Krogan 2 recovering from the sudden push. The camera is positioned to show his shotgun, leaning against the wall out of reach, also out of focus. His attention turns to it, and the camera shifts focus on it. After a moment, the camera quickly returns focus to him as the biotic energy pulls him away from the wall an inch and gently slams him back into it; not enough to hurt him, but just to get his attention) (07; A close-up of Jack, still reaching forward and holding him with biotic energy, scowling and breathing heavily. Cum is still on her face.) JACK (hoarsely, still breathing heavily from a combination of her exertions, both sexual and combatative, and her anger at the audacity of these Krogan thinking they can kill her): "Don't even think about it." (08; A waist-up front-facing shot of Krogan 2, who weakly raises his arms in submission) KROGAN 2 (simply): "You're in charge now, boss." (09; A full-body side shot of Jack, naked, sweaty, and face covered in cum, holding the Krogan, cock exposed and limp, up against the wall with her biotic powers.) JACK (recovering her breath, voice regulating and losing its hoarseness, but still having a combatative, almost psychotic edge): "You want to join Krogan 1?" KROGAN 2 (still simply): "Hey, fuck this job, a'ight? I can't buy shit if I'm dead." (10; A close-up of Jack. For a long moment, she just stands there, panting, glaring at the Krogan. She finally speaks) JACK (casually): "I still kinda want to throw you over." (11; A close-up of the Krogan, still pinned to the wall. He shrugs his shoulders as best he can.) KROGAN 2 (simply): "I'd rather you didn't." (12; Another side-shot of Jack holding the Krogan to the wall. After a moment, she lets down her arm and stands up out of her combatative stance. The biotic energy dissipated, and the Krogan falls to his feel gently.) (13; A close-up of Jack, angles so that the doorway to the roof is visible and out of focus. Jack nudges her head toward it.) JACK (casually): "Get walking." (14; Another close-up, now with the camera not showing the doorway, as Jack watches the Krogan walk, off-screen, toward the door. After a moment, the door opens, the Krogan walks through, and the door closes again.) (15; A high-angle, almost top-down shot, of Jack standing and just looking at the door. After a moment, she brings up her hand and wipes the cum off her face. She turns to look at the rail she threw Krogan 1 over.) (16; A low-angle, almost bottom-up, from a few flights down the stairwell. The sound of Jack walking toward the rail reverberates, and after a few moments, her head comes into view, peeking over the edge of the rail. After a long while of her stairing down the stairwell, and thus at the camera, she leans forward a bit more and shouts down it. Her words reverberate as they bounce off the walls. After another moment, she turns away from the rail and walks away. The camera lingers for a long moment.) JACK (loudly): "Asshole!" (17; Jack sitting on the floor, topless but now with her pants on, fidgeting with a boot. She reaches over to grab a datapad by her side and bring it up to look at.) (18; A close-up of the data-pad. Only one name and location remains: the name of the last Batarian, and his location being Omega.) (19; The camera situated at Jack's head-level, with her still sitting and thus under the frame. She stands up into frame, now fully clothed, a resolved expression on her face. She reaches up and pushes her hand against her jaw, cracking her neck.) (20; A high-angle shot of Jack casually walking toward the stairway down. As she approaches the edge, the screen fades to black, going full black before she reaches the stairs, so I don't have to animate her walking down them.) (21; Credits) ==== AFTER-CREDITS ==== (01; A close-up of a computer screen in a dim, orange-lit room. The screen is hanging on an industrial-esque wall, riveted steel plates. On the screen, the Director is facepalming.) *DIRECTOR lets out a long sigh* DIRECTOR (defeated and overtly pessimistic): "And let me guess: you let her escape." (02; The second Krogan is standing in front of the screen. He rubs his chin awkwardly as he tries to not make eye-contact with the screen. He stammers a response.) KROGAN 2 (nervously): "I, uhh, I just figured, you can't spend money if you're dead, you know? I'd rather botch a job than lose my life." (03; A close-up of the Director, camera now directly in his office, as he cups his face with both hands. He takes a long, deep breath, holds it for a moment, before letting it out in a slow, heavy sigh.) *DIRECTOR takes that breath* (04; A high-angle shot of the Director at his desk. As he speaks, he lets down his hands and puts them to rest on the desk again.) DIRECTOR (defeated): "Incredible." (05; A close-up of the Director's computer computer screen. The Krogan on the other side takes a step forward and raises a hand as he stammers out an overly eager response, sensing the Director's dissatisfaction and wanting to salvage his job.) KROGAN 2 (stammering, overly eager): "W-wait! I think I know where I-" *DIRECTOR unceremoniously reaches forward and presses a button on the computer. The screen goes black* (06; A side-shot of the Director just sitting at his desk, hand still on the computer keyboard. His other hand is holding his forward, as he leans forward in silent thought, his eyes closed. The camera is uncomfortably perfectly still, and the shot lingers for a long, uncomfortable time.) (07; A forward-shot of the Director. He brings the head off his forehead and opens his eyes, returning his gaze to the computer. He leans forward, and begins typing at the console with both hands.) (08; An abrupt cut to a new location: a large room with an industrial aesthetic, equipment suggesting it could have once been a smelting room in a mining operation. Sparse but lavish adornments suggest that the current occupant has transformed it into a hybrid antechamber, and almost a throne room. After the camera sits for a moment, establishing the scene, it slowly pans down and to the left, toward a large, gaudy sofa. On this sofa, Aria is lounging, fully clothed sans for pants. Her head is thrown back, eyes closed, mouth open slightly as she moans. A Hanar is on the sofa beside her, using two of its tentacles to slowly penetrate both her pussy and anus. As the camera pans toward her, the moans become audible and louder in the mix.) ARIA (softly, casually enjoying her sexual indulgement): "Oh, fuck..." (09; A full-body shot of Aria. After a moment, she sucks her teeth and tenses her body, clutching the sofa cushion with her grip. She gives a command to the Hanar, which it immediately obliges:) ARIA (softly, but with a subtle sense of urgency): "Faster." (10; A close-up of Aria's genitals, with the Hanar is now penetrating at a decent pace. After a moment, Aria gives another order, again, immediately followed) ARIA (evident tenseness in her voice): "Faster." (11; A close-up of Aria's face, head still thrown back, eyes squinting shut, face contorting into a quickly-approaching orgasm. Her voice builds in intensity, her breathing becomes more ragged) ARIA (starting quiet, quickly approaching orgasm): "Oh fuck... Oh fuck..! OH...-" ASARI DANCER (timidly): "Mistress Aria?" (12; A cut to the Asari dancer, also wearing an Omni-collar. She flinches back in intimidation as Aria, denied her orgasm, explodes at her) ARIA (loudly frustrated): "FUCK!!" (13; A shot of Aria sitting up, scowling at the Dancer off-screen, as the Hanar pulls his tentacles out of Aria's genitals.) ARIA (barking, annoyed): "What?" DANCER (timidly): "You have a transmission pending. H-he says it's important. M-Mistress." (14; Cut to a dark, barely-lit room. It, too, has an industrial aesthetic, with a large bed and some lavish furnishings suggesting it is Aria's bedroom. On the wall hangs a blank computer screen. After a long moment, a sliding door opposite the screen opens, letting a flood of light in.) (15; A quick cut to a waist-up shot of Aria storming into the room, scowling and muttering under her breath. The door closes behind her, plunging the room into near-darkness again) ARIA (muttering angrily): "This better be fucking worth it..." (16; A side-shot of Aria coming to a stop in front of the screen and quickly crossing her arms under her breasts. The screen comes to light, flooding light into the room once again. The screen itself is not visible.) (17; A close-up of Aria's face as her face contorts into a mixture of a scowl and disgust. The Director's voice comes from through the screen) DIRECTOR (casually, with a hint of smugness): "Aria. A pleasure to see you again." (18; A close-up of the screen, with the Director leaning forward, hands tented under his chin, looking smugly into the camera) ARIA (coldly): "Can't say the same, shit-stain." (19; Cut to black)
