Desolation
That's the second time I've saved your life.
Melanie
Yeah, run a tab.

Desolation
[The train has not arrived]
Where the hell's the train?
Melanie
I don't know.
Uno
You don't know? What the **** is that supposed to mean?
Melanie
[On radio]
Lieutenant to the train!
Desolation
Plan A is **** up! You got a Plan B?
Melanie
Yeah, it's the same as Plan A. You got any fresh ideas?
Desolation
Yeah, what we should of done in the first place.
Melanie
[**** his H&K MP5K's and walks forward]
Shit!
Desolation
[Does the same]
COME ON YOU MINDLESS MOTHER ****ERS!
[Fires both H&K MP5Ks at the possessed with his team following suit and a vicious gunfight ensues]
Helena
Rookies, use breathers. We won't have air like Earth for 10 years. Let's go.
Bashira
God, I hate this thing.
Helena
You'll get used to it. Two years ago we were wearing full-face breathers. Takes a month to get over the headaches out here.
Bashira
So this is Shining Canyon? God, what a dump.
Melanie
First time in the boonies?
Michael
Standard layout. A boomtown like all the others. Seen one, you can go home. It's cold, and they don't tell you a one-year contract here equals two years Earth time. Gotta read the fine print.
Melanie
Where is everybody? Friday night, the place should be packed. Twelve hours to sunup with money to burn, whores to **** and drugs to take. Instead, we got a graveyard.
Helena
Maybe they're inside spending their money.
Jericho
Eutopia, the ass end of the universe. A penal camp for thieving cutthroats.
Melanie
Sounds nasty. But you seem to be holding up pretty well.
Jericho
Yeah, well, I have many hidden talents.
Jericho
It's pretty solid. One way in, back door out, leading to rear entrance. [Shuts door] A good, sturdy door.
Melanie
So, what's your point?
Jericho
It's rather cozy. Don't you think?
Melanie
I don't believe this. You lured me back here to seduce me?
Jericho
Yeah, well, the way things are going, I thought this might be our last chance to, uh, to dance.
Melanie
Yeah.
Melanie
Here's the plan. Short and simple. Descanso and Jericho take the lead, everybody else follows. It's about fifty meters from here to the station. Bashira and I are in the rear. Any questions?
Desolation
[Uno raises his hand]
Hey! Put your hand down!
Melanie
Look, if we even get back to Chryse, those things will just keep coming. We've got a chance here. We got a chance to stop this thing before it goes any further. This is about one thing: dominion. It's not their planet anymore.
Bashira
What about him? Isn't it our job to take him back?
Jericho
Is he still a prisoner, or is he one of us?
Desolation
I can give a damn about saving this planet. Seems like it was after me since the day I was born. If I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die fighting, not running.
Melanie
Well, introduce us to your friends.
Desolation
These are my compadres, Uno, Dos and Tres.
Melanie
Uno must be the nice one.
Uno
You got that right, butchy. I'm not as nice as Desolation. And I'll cut your **** titties off.
Tres
Where's your brother?
Desolation
He didn't make it.
Tres
Oh God. [He dies]
Tribunal head
And what happened to Williams?
Melanie
I don't know, but I woke up and he was gone.
Tribunal head
And you were handcuffed?
Melanie
He must have done it while I slept. By then, I trusted him.
Tribunal head
That's all you have to say?
Melanie
That's all I know.
Tribunal head
Lt. Ballard, I suggest you get some rest. You're dismissed. [To tribunal] Is our statement going to be that Mars is being overrun by ghosts?
Uno
So, you're just gonna stand there and watch her break my shit?
Dos
Yeah, and now you're done mopping the floor, why don't you get me a beer, killer?
Desolation
[Dos accidentally cuts off his left thumb when the team is preparing explosives]
That's beautiful!
Desolation
[Dos passes out]
That's what you get, dumb ass.
PA announcer
[Melanie wakes in her quarters to PA]
Attention all police report to your nearest station for weapon assignment. A security breach has occurred. This is a level 10 emergency. Police personnel, report to your division for assignment. All civilians evacuate the streets immediately. Please remain indoors until further instructed.
Desolation
[Desolation bursts in room with two LF-57 submachine guns]
Come on! [Throws her a gun and winks at her] Tide's up. Time to stay alive. [They're walking in the hall] If you ever want to come to the other side, you'd make a hell of a crook.
Melanie
You'd make a hell of a cop.
Desolation and Melanie
[They both glance at each other]
Nah...
Desolation
Let's just kick some ass.
Melanie
It's what we do best.
Desolation Williams
[Melanie strikes him in face and frees herself from his clutch]
Damn, girl, I like you already. [He punches her out]
Desolation Williams
[To Big Daddy Mars on uncoupled train section]
See you later, you big mother****er! [Big Daddy Mars roars ferociously and train explodes]
