NARRATOR: Last time, on 'ISU VRAC: Ballistics'

[STEPHEN paces on the stage]
STEPHEN: There was an idea
[cut camera to follow upper torso]
STEPHEN: To bring together a group of remarkable students
[camera pan over half the students]
STEPHEN: See if they could become something more
[zoomed in pan over second half of pensive students]
STEPHEN: See if they could work together when we needed them
[cut to close up on STEPHEN, STEPHEN stops and faces camera]
STEPHEN: To answer the questions we never could.
[dolly shot from back of student group to the front then into aerial shot]
STEPHEN: Welcome, to the ARG-venger Initiative

[cut to ballistics team gathered around a table, then to closeup of members as they speak, speaker looking past camera]
HEIKE: I don't know how we're going to quantify these scan qualities
SUSAN: We owe it to everyone, every scanner that isn't in this room right now, to try
EMMANUELLE: Whatever it takes
SYEMA: Whatever it takes
TIGER: Whatever it takes
HEIKE: We're in the research game now

[cut to hospital room, light blue Schwinn bike with a basket hooked up to IVs, TIGER at bedside]
[low angle shot from bike's perspective as TIGER leans over to pat it]
TIGER: You'll be ok buddy, we'll get you out of here today
[cut to room door, enter VAL]
VAL: I'm afraid there's been a complication
[TIGER reaction shot, jaw clenched, looking past camera]
[slow fade to black, then cut to opening]

[fade from black into establishing shot of Howe Hall, many people and bikes crossing, indicating high activity]
[cut to over-the-shoulder camera following TIGER through the halls to his desk, then turn to focus on ADAM, seated, legs crossed at the front of the room]
[ADAM scans the room, reaction shot of students exchanging glances to each other then back ADAM]
[ADAM claps hands together]
ADAM: So. I have been tasked, with instructing you all in the ways of C++
[ADAM rises from chair, begins pacing]
ADAM: After one week, we aim for you to become proficient enough to defend yourself for the duration of this summer.
[ADAM pauses, looks at camera]
ADAM: You WILL become proficient enough
[pause, students murmur]
[ADAM breaks into congenial grin]
ADAM: Let's begin with a nice simple hello world program
[Students become audibly relieved, atmosphere is noticeably lighter, banter begins as students complete task]
[return focus to ADAM, still grinning]
[grin turns menacing]
ADAM: Now let's program a calculator
[ropes rapidly descend to attach to each student's seat, the floor drops out from underneath]
[Megalovania begins playing]
[reaction shot as TIGER quickly looks down, then back up past camera, slow zoom and fade to black]
