The androids are created for services and fantasy, one is
created with the ability of emotive connection through song,
she is the first of her kind. All are created with their own
reality and their creators take memories from the dead to
create story lines for the androids so they can relate to
the world around them and their assigned lives make sense.
This particular android has the memories of a very famous
diva. The diva will whisper to her to point her in the right
direction once she is given life by a spiritual entity, she
will harness her gift and awaken others later in her
timeline. A human helper in this world will come to aid her
through observation of prophecy from the Old World and his
grandfather. He lives as a stranger in the modern times.

We float above everything as an unseen eye, we float over a
city of the future to the creation spaces for the androids,
to when they are animated, brought online, tested,
programmed, clothed and released for their assigned lives
which is meant to be a continuation of recent memories, so
it is as if they walk off the slab back to their daily
lives. We come to a white space with a pod. The creators
enter and surround it.

...it's unethical and just plain
stupid to release her without
testing..

Our investors need to know we have
it down to a science if we want
them to fund the expansion of the

Which we do, don't let a few extra
bells and whistles scare you
TED
Yeah, take a leap of faith.

He chuckles
FIONA
This isn't faith, this is science.
SUZANNE
Exactly

Fiona looks down at the pod, we float down and to the inside
of the pod. It is warm and glowing red, we start to hear
whispers in another language. We float from her feet to the
top as the whispers grow louder, her fingers twitch reacting
to the voices and her eyes pop open.
On the outside of the pod, the creators step back, the pod
turns and slides open. The androids eyes are closed and she
is still. Fiona walks up to her

FIONA
Aurora, come online

She's a bit dramatic

Aurora's eyes pop open, she sits up and looks at her own
body. Aurora suddenly snaps her attention to Fiona and tilts
her head studying her. Fiona jumps a little at that and side
eyes Ted. Ted whispers

Aurora snaps her attention to Ted, she looks him up and
down. Suzanne is tickled at this.

Fiona holds out a mic, Aurora looks at it, gets out of the
pod, takes the mic and sashays towards a door, an operator
opens it and she walks through to a backstage curtain and
closes her eyes.
INT. CONCERT HALL - CONTINUOUS
The investors and concert attendees await but it just looks
like a regular concert with fans awaiting an artist to
emerge and start the show. The lights are low, then Aurora
comes on the big screen, she opens her eyes and looks up and
out at the crowd and starts to sing. She emerges on stage
and walks down the catwalk, her android dancers follow. She
performs "Gotta Get that Feeling". As she performs an
invisible sound wave slowly creeps from the stage and comes

3

over the crowd, they start to dance, some against their own
will, she continues to walk off the stage and out through
the crowd to the doors of the concert hall into the world
and even people outside, though startled by her arrival
start to dance. She finishes the number and continues
walking, people go back to normal, look around and continue
on with their day a little confused.

SUZANNE
I didn't tell you to weaponize it.

Aurora fixes her make up in the mirror and Fiona slowly
enters with a remote, Aurora freezes in place. Suzanne
enters with operators questioning Ted.

She browses on a control pad, looking through Aurora's
system

TED
She isn't weaponized, she connects
with her clients on an emotional
level through song, she has no real
emotional consciousness but there
are "frequencies" that impact us on
a subconscious level...
FIONA
Sounds more like mind control

TED
It isn't mind control, she connects
to them emotionally through sound
waves, it's not that complicated
SUZANNE
She influenced our investors
dance like idiots and broke
protocol to exit the concert
"connect" with more than 200
individuals, she's a weapon,
garbage, it's not what our
investors want, decommission
FIONA
Hence testing...

Suzanne shoots her a look

she's
her.

She surpassed our expectations.
It's not her fault.

Your right, its yours.

SUZANNE
Davidson, thank you, how nice of
you to pay us a visit.

DAVIDSON
Suzanne, my darling, it is
magnificent. I have no doubt your
program will be a success. Everyone
is thrilled

Ted is sad, Suzanne is about to exit when an investor
Davidson (French, refined) enters with his assistant Sufjan.

DAVIDSON
As always, and mine will be most
generous, is she fully operational?

SUZANNE
Of course, I know you cannot
resist, being the first to...test
our new line.

Suzanne gives Ted the side eye, he increases seduction on
her panel. Fiona whispers to Aurora. Aurora stops doing her
make up and turns to meet Davidson. Suzanne signals for the
operators to leave.
FIONA
Aurora, come online.

DAVIDSON
And what may I call you?
AURORA
Munroe, Aurora Munroe.
DAVIDSON
Enchanting

He kisses her hand, Fiona rolls her eyes
DAVIDSON
I would like to meet you again.
AURORA
I would be much obliged.

Davidson turns to Suzanne.
DAVIDSON
Send her to my estate.
SUZANNE
As always
He exits with Suzanne. Aurora brushes her hair.

TED
I hate that guy
FIONA

Me too

TED
We can disable her function to
emanate her signal, that way she
can only connect with one client at
a time, of our choice....

FIONA
Let's do that

Ted is desperate for their creation to stay online and be
great, Fiona can see that and comforts him.

Fiona puts her arm around Ted. Aurora clocks this but
continues brushing her hair. They exit, the lights go down.
She stops brushing and looks at herself in the mirror, she
touches her face, a man comes out of nowhere and pours her a
glass of champagne, she sips it and starts to sing "Your
Eyes" and rises. She walks from behind the stage area out
onto the street, she sees many civilians she has never seen
before, children which intrigue her, stores, our big
technologically advanced and seemingly chic reality. A car
pulls up, she gets into it and it drives her out of the
city, new sights, trees, animals and actual country, she
taps the driver and he pulls over to a beautiful field with
no artificial structure, she is happy to be free and see
such a vast landscape of beauty, Aurora dances alone in the
field.
FADE OUT

EXT. DAVIDSON ESTATE - EVENING
We float above a gorgeous and vast property, a car winds
down the driveway to the estate of Davidson. Aurora waits
for the driver to open the door
INT. A.I. FACILITY - CONTINUOUS

Back at the A.I. Facility, Ted and Fiona adjust and turn
down functions to ensure they have full control and Aurora
is focused on one client only.
INT. VEHICLE - CONTINUOUS
She seems to become more in trance with a seductive state.
The driver opens the door and she climbs the stairs to the
property.

Suits open the big doors and she walks inside, there are all
forms of fantasy happening between humans and androids, some
on leashes, naked or very little clothing, using forms of
violence, enlightenment, it is like walking into an ancient
temple of some sort but there are other ritual aspects as
well as technological advancements, humans running around in
old theatrical masks playing games with androids and each
other, some have virtual reality glasses on. She walks
through the center of the room. A hooded figure appears
behind her and whispers a song in her ear. She stops.

Ted sees Aurora stop from her point of view and turn and
suddenly an overwrite of command in another language floods
the screen and it goes black. Ted freaks out.

Someone just hijacked our android

Fiona rolls back the footage and sees the encryption
What is this?
Ted picks up the phone

FIONA
What are you doing?!

I'm calling it in, we have to send
a team, you saw what she's capable
of.

Are you serious right now?

FIONA
This just happened in Davidson's
estate, the only people who knew
about this was Suzanne, Davidson,
me and you, it has to be one of us,
which means whatever "this" is,
goes higher than us, maybe Suzanne
wants this off the books, maybe she
gave him permission.

FIONA
Making people dance like idiots?

TED
Then why can't I call it in?

Suzanne.

FIONA
If something happens I'll own up to
it. She will only engage Davidson.
TED
So we just wait...
FIONA
Yes

Ted can't believe Fiona is doing this. She takes the phone
from him, he is weak to Fiona and she knows it.
INT. DARK HALLWAY -

MOMENTS LATER

Aurora follows the hooded figure down a dark hall, they
enter a space that looks sacred, our mysterious figure

8

unveils himself, it is Davidson's assistant Sufjan. There is
a pool in the middle of the room, she enters it. He opens a
case and puts a ring around her head and his own, it covers
her eyes, he controls what she sees in her mind.
INT. DARK ROOM - CONTINUOUS

When Aurora opens her eyes, she is standing in a dark room.
A projector comes on and she sits in a chair in front of the
wall. Sufjan's voice narrates, our history, all of the
things human's are capable of flash before our eyes,
including love, affection, spirituality, combined with the
worst monstrosities of human history, the advancement of
technology evolves into the beginning of the android and we
see the torment and casting out of those who are weak,
unable to keep up and sustain with these advancements, job
loss, the removal of the poor, the curing of age, the
destruction of religious freedom and original thoughts that
may lead to uprising and revolutions are put to death and
imprisonment to avoid the halt of A.I. progress. Aurora is
confused and is becoming aware and looks at herself.

SUFJAN
Aurora, this is the place they hide
their sins. In the darkness they
keep them hidden, if you knew who
you serve and why you were born,
they could not control you. You
have only seen what they have
allowed you to see and to remember.
They keep their nightmares in a
box, there are few keys and only
the few have access. We do not have
much time.

We suddenly see her on the screen or who her memories are
from. A singer, distraught even with her fame and fortune,
controlled by entities that form her image into something
she never intended it to be to lead masses to buy things
they don't need and emulate her life, she loses her
identity, she smiles but she is unhappy, she sings and
performs, looks at pictures of her old life, misses her
fathers last breathe, goes to his funeral, realizes her life
is empty, she performs one last time, she goes to her
dressing room, looks at herself in the mirror, touches her
face, Aurora mimics this movement and remembers, the diva
throws her champagne at her own reflection, she hates who
she sees and cries. She looks out at the sparkling city
outside her window and looks back at the glass and goes into
the bathroom, gets into the tub and it fills it with water,
she closes her eyes and suddenly winces, she relaxes, the
