Part 3 - Ugly Truths

Start from the beginning
                                        

Coral: HA!!! (She hits the guard upside the head. She swings her weapon over Brooke's shoulder.)

(The guard falls unconscious again.)

Brooke: Huh... (She glances down at the soldier, unfazed.)

Brooke: Nice!

Coral: Aw yeah! (Brooke gives Coral a high five.)

Coral: C'mon! I'll show you where they're keeping everyone! (She happily runs off, Brooke follows.)

Brooke: Great! Hey, by the way, where'd you find those clothes?

Coral: They were in a closet! I thought that I would do better fighting in them! But apparently, the lady who runs this place- Doctor Nariko- was in the middle of making some sort of outfit for a project when I took them! But she's so tall, there's no way they'll fit her! (They run.)

Coral: Plus, you gotta admit, they are so fresh!

Brooke: Is that the real reason why you took them?

Coral: No, of course not! I know better than that!

Brooke: Are you sure?

Coral: Yes! Now let's go! (She turns and makes a cute pose at Brooke. Brooke rolls her eyes, but she still smiles.)

Meanwhile...

Marie: Ugh, where are the agents?

Marina: They've probably been hidden well. (The group explores Nariko's main lab, which was where Nariko and Juliuz spoke.)

Captain: You might want to split up. Then you can find everyone faster!

Marina: That or they'll pick us off faster! (They talk on the headphones.)

Callie: I agree with Gramps. This place is huge, so we need to start covering more ground. (The other agents nod.)

Callie: Let's meet back at the entrance! But if you need help, just call! (Everyone splits up. Echo stays.)

(Echo starts looking around the main lab for anything hidden.)

Echo:! (Something catches her eye.)

(A large object is covered by a large black tarp in the back of Nariko's main lab.)

Echo: Hmm... (She approaches the tarp.)

(She pulls down the tarp.)

(The tarp falls off.)

(Echo looks up hopefully.)

Echo: Oh. (She still looks up, but she's disappointed.)

Echo: Just an octoling. (She looks up at the tube, filled with the green sludge. ??? is in the middle, wearing lab clothes and in a fetal position.)

(Echo studies ???.)

(???'s eyes as he suddenly opens them, revealing one blue and one yellow eye, like Juliuz's eyes.)

Echo: Uagh! (She stumbles back, startled, as she recognizes him.)

Echo: J-Juliuz?! (She looks up, still startled, but mostly confused.)

------------------------------------------

Echo: .....uli..............liuz...........Juliuz! (Juliuz starts to slowly wake up.)

Echo: Can you hear me?

Juliuz: Ugh, unh-huh.

Echo: Can you see me?
