Whoa, I just realized that half of the first ten pages is cut off. Here's the other half.
-------
A shootout breaks out. The bullets do little harm to the
predators. The scene becomes a chaotic blur of gunshots,
blue explosions, wrist-mounted blades, and bloodshed.
The attendant runs for his desk, pulls a pulse rifle out
from under it. The largest of the three predators grabs him
by the neck, and snaps it.
The chief runs, hides in his office. Samantha is still
there.
The chief crouches in the corner.
The noises from outside die down.
The chief gets up, grabs a phone, dials a number. Someone
picks up.
CHIEF
(to phone)
This is East Precinct, requesting
backup. Multiple officers down.
We're under siege here-
A metallic loading sound.
The chief looks up at Samantha. She's holding the cylinder,
aiming it at the chief. A red light turns on, and projects
three laser-pointer dots on the chief's face. We now see
that the object is a small plasma cannon.
CHIEF
What...
SAMANTHA
I lied. I do remember who left me
out there.
Samantha fires-
INT. POLICE STATION- DUSK
Samantha exits the chief's office, covered in his blood.
She's no longer limping, no longer exasperated. No longer a
victim.
There are bodies everywhere. Fire and smoke.
The predators are nowhere to be seen.
Samantha walks further into the mess, when three
laser-pointer dots appear on her face-
SMASH CUT TO-
INT. CHARLOTTE
We're suddenly in a small military transport ship, the
Charlotte.
Samantha is telling her story to someone.
SAMANTHA
The best reason I can think of for
why the Hunters didn't kill me the
first time was that I was unarmed.
That's why they gave me the cannon.
As soon as I proved that I could
use it, I became fair game. So I
hijacked a skytaxi and tried to
take refuge in SKY, but nobody
there responded to my docking
request. I drifted for a while
until you two showed up and let me
board your lifeboat. And that's why
I'm here.
We now see her audience. Steven and Rachel, both in their
twenties, both military personnel. They are at the edge of
their seats, eyes wide. There's a moment of quiet.
STEVEN
Ahem... Well... That's... certainly
something.
SAMANTHA
So. Now you know my story. What's
yours? What are you two doing out
here, orbiting SKY?
EXT. SPACE
Two tiny ships, docked together, floating in space. LV459 is
in the background. The two ships are in slow orbit around
SKY, a massive orbiting military base.
SAMANTHA
(OS)
Why won't they let us in?
Slow zoom in on SKY, until we come close to an observational
window. We zoom right in-
INT. SKY
-to see that the station is completely destroyed. The camera
moves through the base. There is no life. Very little light.
Lots of smoke and fire damage, but no fire.
The walls are covered in a black resin.
Something on the wall moves and bares its teeth.
An Alien.
SMASH CUT TO BLACK.

Dude, yeah. If you write more I will sure as hell read it.
Thanks!
Yeah, I am writing more. And to my horror, I realized that what you read was actually half of what I intended to post. I just posted the rest.
