DARK SKIES Zabel & Friedman 37.<br />
Inside, there appears to be a folded, foil triangle. Slowly,<br />
Loengard extracts the material. IT MAGICALLY UNFOLDS AND<br />
FLATTENS INTO THE SHAPE OF A LARGE TRIANGLE!<br />
Startled, Loengard drops the material, which floats impossibly<br />
in mid-air, defying gravity. He touches a corner, setting<br />
it spinning. <strong>The</strong>n, Bach snatches the triangle, shoves it<br />
back into his container.<br />
BACH (CONT'D)<br />
I wear this to remind me that whoever<br />
does build these ships, their<br />
knowledge is formidable.<br />
LOENGARD<br />
You think it's the Russians<br />
Bach leaves the table and begins spinning a combination lock<br />
on a wall of drawers.<br />
BACH<br />
You tell me, Mister Loengard --<br />
Bach slides the refrigerated drawer open. <strong>The</strong> frosty air<br />
clears to reveal a sealed body bag, which Bach unzips.<br />
BACH (CONT'D)<br />
-- does this look Russian to you<br />
<strong>The</strong> now open bag reveals the preserved remains of a "Gray."<br />
Curled into a near-fetal position, the Gray's head is<br />
distinguished primarily by the large, black almond-shaped<br />
eyes that seem to pull you inside and swallow you up.<br />
Loengard reels, takes a couple of steps back and starts<br />
gagging. He hits the wall and slides to his knees, fighting<br />
nausea.<br />
BACH (CONT'D)<br />
Don't be embarrassed. Most people<br />
have trouble digesting the truth.<br />
Bach goes about returning the photos to their respective<br />
files, and the files to the attache case.<br />
BACH (CONT'D)<br />
Here's the way it works, John. No<br />
one who joins Majestic can talk about<br />
this to anyone outside. It's a very<br />
exclusive club.<br />
LOENGARD<br />
(confused)<br />
Wait. I haven't joined ... anything.
