[id: new scene, indoors, day. wide shot of one of the uniformly off-white colored hospital-like tiled hallways of 200 road to nowhere as jaina and gilda round a corner. a narrow floor-to-ceiling window without curtains in the background floods the hallway with sunlight, the beige desert plains and clear blue skies of strangetown visible through its panes, the ground appearing to be two or three stories below. “i hate the way that damn elevator shakes,” says the medium-skinned soldier in desert camo. “let’s take the stairs next time, okay?” “i’d rather not waste any more time and energy than is necessary,” replies the green-skinned antennaed gynoid in yellow scrubs and white sneakers. “and hopefully there won’t be a next time.” /end id]
