[SCENE — CATTO WEATHER BUNKER / CLIFFSIDE ABOVE THE COAST]

[sound design: hurricane winds, reinforced windows rattling, radar sweep]

[LAIZER BEAM — confident female voice, professional]
Catto Weather Radio, BEAM-1.

Lyra-9 remains centered over the NPZ-3 region.

The storm continues to display abnormal movement patterns.

[sound design: radar pulse]

[CATTO SYSTEM VOICE — synthesized]
Multiple biological returns detected.

[LAIZER BEAM]
Track them.

[CATTO SYSTEM VOICE]
Tracking.

[LAIZER BEAM]
Direction?

[CATTO SYSTEM VOICE]
Northwest.

[LAIZER BEAM]
Toward the coastline.

[sound design: keyboard clicks]

[LAIZER BEAM]
The storm is moving.

[CATTO SYSTEM VOICE]
Correction.

Storm center remains stationary.

[LAIZER BEAM]
What?

[CATTO SYSTEM VOICE]
Storm center unchanged.

[LAIZER BEAM]
Run that again.

[CATTO SYSTEM VOICE]
Storm center unchanged.

[sound design: radar processing]

[LAIZER BEAM — confused]
Overlay the original position.

[CATTO SYSTEM VOICE]
Overlay complete.

[LAIZER BEAM]
No.

[sound design: low electromagnetic hum]

[LAIZER BEAM]
The center hasn't moved.

[LIMA BRAVO ZERO ZERO ONE — flight crew]
CATTO, we're watching the returns.

[LAIZER BEAM]
Do they still have the same heading?

[LIMA BRAVO ZERO ZERO ONE]
Yes.

[LAIZER BEAM]
And the storm?

[LIMA BRAVO ZERO ZERO ONE]
Still over the same area.

[sound design: deep thunder]

[LAIZER BEAM — realizing]
The storm isn't moving.

[LIMA BRAVO ZERO ZERO ONE]
Then what are we seeing?

[LAIZER BEAM]
The returns.

[sound design: radar pulse]

[LAIZER BEAM]
They're moving through the storm.

[LIMA BRAVO ZERO ZERO ONE]
Toward us.

[LAIZER BEAM]
Yes.

[sound design: electronic interference]

[CATTO SYSTEM VOICE]
Additional return detected.

[LAIZER BEAM]
Another?

[CATTO SYSTEM VOICE]
Affirmative.

[LAIZER BEAM]
Track it.

[CATTO SYSTEM VOICE]
Moving northwest.

[LAIZER BEAM]
How many now?

[CATTO SYSTEM VOICE]
Seven.

[LAIZER BEAM — stunned]
Seven?

[CATTO SYSTEM VOICE]
Additional returns detected.

[LAIZER BEAM]
How many?

[CATTO SYSTEM VOICE]
Nine.

[sound design: radar static]

[LAIZER BEAM]
No.

That's not possible.

[LIMA BRAVO ZERO ZERO ONE]
We're seeing them too.

[LAIZER BEAM]
Are they coming out of the storm?

[LIMA BRAVO ZERO ZERO ONE]
It looks that way.

[LAIZER BEAM]
They're leaving it.

[sound design: low-frequency pulse]

[CATTO SYSTEM VOICE]
Storm center unchanged.

[LAIZER BEAM — quietly]
I know.

[sound design: radar sweep]

[LAIZER BEAM]
The storm hasn't moved one mile.

But something inside it has.

[LIMA BRAVO ZERO ZERO ONE]
CATTO...

[LAIZER BEAM]
Go ahead.

[LIMA BRAVO ZERO ZERO ONE]
One of them just stopped.

[LAIZER BEAM]
Where?

[LIMA BRAVO ZERO ZERO ONE]
Above the water.

[LAIZER BEAM]
Altitude?

[LIMA BRAVO ZERO ZERO ONE]
Ten feet.

[LAIZER BEAM]
It's falling?

[LIMA BRAVO ZERO ZERO ONE]
Negative.

[LAIZER BEAM]
Then why did it stop?

[LIMA BRAVO ZERO ZERO ONE]
I don't know.

[sound design: radar pulse]

[LIMA BRAVO ZERO ZERO ONE]
It's rising again.

[LAIZER BEAM — stunned]
It just went up?

[LIMA BRAVO ZERO ZERO ONE]
Yes.

[LAIZER BEAM]
No wings?

[LIMA BRAVO ZERO ZERO ONE]
None visible.

[LAIZER BEAM]
No aircraft profile?

[LIMA BRAVO ZERO ZERO ONE]
Nothing.

[sound design: deep thunder]

[LAIZER BEAM — quietly]
It's levitating.

[LIMA BRAVO ZERO ZERO ONE]
That's not possible.

[LAIZER BEAM]
I know.

[sound design: electromagnetic interference]

[CATTO SYSTEM VOICE]
Storm center unchanged.

[LAIZER BEAM — thinking]
They're not being carried by Lyra-9.

They're moving independently.

[sound design: radar pulse]

[LAIZER BEAM]
And the storm isn't following them.

[LIMA BRAVO ZERO ZERO ONE]
Then why does it look like it's moving?

[LAIZER BEAM]
Because we're watching the objects leave it.

[sound design: radar sweep accelerates]

[CATTO SYSTEM VOICE]
Multiple returns exiting circulation.

[LAIZER BEAM]
How many?

[CATTO SYSTEM VOICE]
Unable to determine.

[LAIZER BEAM — alarmed]
Keep tracking every one.

[sound design: radar alarms]

[LIMA BRAVO ZERO ZERO ONE]
They're spreading out.

[LAIZER BEAM]
Where are they going?

[LIMA BRAVO ZERO ZERO ONE]
Coastline.

[sound design: distant thunder]

[LAIZER BEAM — final broadcast, controlled but shaken]
Catto Weather Radio, BEAM-1.

Lyra-9 remains centered over NPZ-3.

The storm has not advanced.

The storm has not relocated.

The storm has not moved.

But something inside it is moving.

Multiple unidentified biological forms are exiting the circulation.

They are moving against the wind.

They are climbing without visible means of flight.

And they are heading toward the coastline.

[sound design: low electromagnetic pulse]

[LAIZER BEAM — quietly]
The storm didn't move.

[sound design: radar pulse]

[LAIZER BEAM]
They did.

[sound design: transmission fades into hurricane static]
