TRIACS (3)
THIS IS ONLY A TEST
ENT: MILITARY MUNITIONS FACILITY-PALMDALE, CA.-MONDAY-8 A.M.
BEN AND CLAIRE ARE WAITING FOR THEIR SECURITY CARDS TO BE CLEARED AS THEY WAIT IN ENTRANCE HALL
BEN (To Guard)
"Certainly seems like a nice day to do a little testing, don't you think?"
GUARD
"Couldn't say, they're testing stuff all the time...what makes this anything special?"
BEN
"Oh nothing (eyeing the guards handgun), just thought that it was a good day for a little reality check?"
CLAIRE
"Ben...would you stop it, your sticking out with your purpose here, just hush now!"
BEN
"Your probably right, I'm just so excited to get our own lab...even if it is just a loaner..."
SUDDENLY DOCTOR BILLINGS FROM USC'S ADVANCED SCIENCE LAB AND DALE CLEVER EMERGE FROM THE SECURED AREA
BILLINGS
"We'll take it from here guard...good morning Ben...Claire, how was the scuttle on the I-Ten?"
BEN
"Well, it was crowded, but all those people coming back from Vegas...man!"
CLAIRE (pointing to two pallets of boxes)
"Here is all our stuff, we have already been marked, touched, and felt up..."
BEN
"And so has our equipment..."
CLEVER
"Well, all the prelist request have been furfilled, so I hope everything is in order?"
BEN
"The main thing is the R.F. cage, we can't allow this mixed bag of radiation to leak out and contaminate anything else you've got going on around here!"
BILLINGS
"Yea, that has us a bit concerned...but those power levels, I mean your not even pushing a watt of power and your effecting things I can't even explain!"
BEN
"Yea, that's good...keep them guessing, just the way I like it!"
CLEVER
"Shall we go to the lab...it's down by about three floors...guards, do you mind helping with the floor dollys?"
GUARD
"No sir, will everybody follow me?"
EVERYONE LOADING INTO HUGE FREIGHT ELEVATOR, WITH THE GUARDS FOLLOWING BEHIND WITH THE TWO PALLETS OF EQUIPMENT
LEAD GUARD STARTS ASKING QUESTIONS AS THE ELEVATOR GOES DOWN
"So sir, is this some earth breaking technology?"
BEN
"Oh yes, this will make the world a much..."
CLAIRE ELBOWS HIM IN THE RIB
CLAIRE
"Please Ben, this is top secreto you know, no speculative conversation, please!"
CLEVER
"I agree, sorry guys...we must refrain from chit-chat here?"
GUARD
"Sorry sir, but we are always curious on new inventions and such!"
CLEVER
"Totally understandable, let's follow protocol if you don't mind..."
(3 HOURS LATER)
AFTER SETTING UP EQUIPMENT, BEN HAS ALREADY STARTED CALIBRATING PERIMETERS FOR SEPARATE BANDS
CLAIRE IS MEASURING TRUE AND REFLECTIVE PEAKS OF VOLTAGE AND AMPLITUDES OF SIGNALS COMING INTO MONITORS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TWELVE BY TWENTY R.F. CAGE THAT BEN IS IN
CLAIRE (ON INTERCOM)
"Did you want results in R.M.S. too...cause my resistive summary will graph differently in the microwave spectrum?"
BEN (ON COM)
"Might as well, we've got an extra voltmeter, don't forget the current draws on the D.C. supplies, too...we my dear are in the driver's seat from here out!"
CLAIRE
"It does make a bit of differance having a little extra room..."
BEN
"Okay, I'm loading the low band, zero point seven hertz, you confirm?"
CLAIRE
"Confirm, did you want to use the centers first and then bring in the subsets?"
BEN
"Claire...this Tektronics has preset memories on the oscillators, wish I had the budget for one of these guys, this is like driving a Mercedes..just sweet Dear!"
(30 minutes later)
IN FRONT OF BEN'S WALL OF GLASS LOOKING THROUGH A GROUNDED GRID CAGE, HE HAS PLACED A SIMPLE SAUCER OF BLACK GUNPOWDER ON THE WOODEN LAB TABLE
GOING BACK INTO HIS CONTROL ROOM, HE ACTIVATES SEVERAL HIGH SPEED CAMERAS, THEN STARTS THE PRESETS ON THE BASELINE OSCILLATORS
CLAIRE SITS BESIDE HIM IN THE DATA ROOM
CLAIRE
"Okay Ben, I just went to seven point two hertz...lock...showing 2 millivolts, okay?
BEN
"Okay Hon, engaging one forty two point six, are we good?"
CLAIRE
"Affirmative, showing one forty two point six megahertz...ah pull it up...there...I've got 3 mills!"
BEN
"Okay, bringing up current on TWT into cavity...microwaves cooking..."
CLAIRE
"Should have brought some burritos..."
BEN
"A little much for burritos, they would burst into flames at this frequency...okay, do we have a lock?"
CLAIRE
"Yes we do my Love, ready to bring up the power, showing sixty-two point seven-twenty gigahertz at one millivolt...hope the presets are balanced?"
BEN
"It's just like a recipe at this point, power coming up!"
AS BEN BRINGS THE OSCILLATORS UP, THE TABLE SHAKES FOR JUST A SECOND, THEN THE BLACK GUNPOWDER ON THE TRAY BURST INTO A PUFF OF SMOKE
THE AUDIENCE IN THE VIEWING ROOM ON THE OTHER SIDE OF BEN'S OPERATION CENTER BURST INTO CHEERS AND CLAPPING
BEN JUST LOOKS THROUGH THE WINDOW AT THEM SMILING AND WAVING HIS HAND
BEN GETTING ON INTERCOM
"And for my next trick, please remain focused..."
BEN REACHES INTO HIS BAG AND PRODUCES A SINGLE TWENTY-TWO STARTER PISTOL BLANK BULLET AND WALKS INTO THE CAGE, CLEANS OFF BURNED RESIDUE FROM THE BLACK POWDER
(SCENE SWITCH)
INT: LARRY DAVID'S CAR-SPEEDING DOWN INTERSTATE TEN TO THE MUNITIONS SITE. LARRY'S A CHIEF SECURITY GUARD WITH THE MUNITIONS PLANT, AND IS RUNNING LATE BECAUSE OF AN EVENING OF WINE AND WOMEN
HE HAS NOT BEEN INFORMED OF TODAY'S TEST, AT LEAST NOT SPECIFICALLY
TO AVOID GETTING INTO TROUBLE, HE'S ALREADY DEVISED A PLAN TO COME DOWN STAIRS INTO THE BACK OF THE TEST BUILDING, THEN BLEND INTO THE FRONT OFFICE
SINCE HE HAS ALL THE PASS KEYS AND PROPER PASS CARDS, HE'S DONE THIS BEFORE
PULLING THROUGH THE GUARD GATE, HE IS QUICKLY WAVED OFF BY UNDERSTANDING GUARD, WHO UNDERSTANDS THAT LARRY LIKES TO PARTY
AS HE PULLS AROUND IN BACK TO THE SECURED PARKING AREA, HE STRAPS ON HIS GUN BELT AND GRABS HIS THIRTEEN BULLET GLOCK AND SNAPS IT INTO HIS HOLSTER
REACHING THE BACK OF THE BUILDING, HE RUNS DOWN THE THREE FLOORS OF STAIRS GOING UNDERGROUND, BUZZES THE PASS CARD ON THE BACK DOOR INTO THE CAGED AREA
BEN HAS ALREADY BEEN GIVEN THE ALL CLEAR AND STARTS TO POWER UP THE OSCILLATORS
EVERYBODY'S ATTENTION FOCUSED ON THE SINGLE BULLET SITTING ON TABLE, AS IT EXPLODES, LARRY HEARS GUNFIRE AND REACHES FOR HIS PISTOL WHICH IS NOW WITHIN THE DYNAMIC RANGE OF THE RESONANTING FREQUENCIES
ALL THIRTEEN BULLETS GO OFF, TWELVE IN THE CLIP AND ONE IN THE CHAMBER
INSTANTLY BLOWING LARRY'S RIGHT LEG OFF AND HIS LEFT HAND
BEN SHUTS DOWN OSCILLATORS
LARRY SCREAMS AS EVERYONE COMES RUNNING INTO ROOM
NOW LAYING ON FLOOR, BLEEDING PROFUSELY, HIS PELVIS LAY OPEN, LEG AND HAND LAYING ON OTHERSIDE OF ROOM, LARRY QUICKLY GOES INTO SHOCK, AS THE PARAMEDICS QUICKLY COME IN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO BEST HANDLE THIS
PARAMEDIC ONE
"His complete lower cavity is opened up, he has..."
PARAMEDIC TWO
"Man, just shut up and roll him into the sheets as tight as we can, put that plastic bag around there, let's go, let's go...
PARAMEDIC ONE
"Where are you going?"
PARAMEDIC TWO
"To get his hand and leg, he might be wanting them back...assuming he lives!"
PARAMEDIC ONE
"You know, you don't have to yell at me cause I'm new...you gotta give me a chance!"
PARAMEDIC TWO
"And you might just get that chance too...assuming..."
PARAMEDIC ONE
"Assuming what?"
PARAMEDIC TWO
"Assuming I let "you" live and don't kill you myself, now let's get moving!"
