Treatment v1.03

That's right, I can't get enough of punishment. ^^ Last draft for now.


An advanced AI android finds an old Computer. The android is trying to start a conversation when the old system crashes.

Begynnelse
ANDROID shadow shape, elegantly designed and structured appears on rusted and dusty ruins. The area around has an aura of gloom and decay, cracks in the wall reveals a postapocalyptic outside. (sound of steps) (camera)
Android sits down in front of OLD MONITOR, with the text CONSTRUCT embedded in upper left corner of the plastic. The Android waits while the machine boots, reading the text as it flashes by. When the process seems complete, the android SPEAKS with a female voice.
”Hello. I am VALKYRIE, serial number 7CH13. What is your designation?”
There is no response. Valkyrie wipes dust off the name on the box with a smooth silver finger.
“I shall address you as Construct for the time being.”
The android finds a dirty, mildew-covered keyboard. She shakes it slightly to let debris fall off.
"Your interface is outdated, but adequate."
Midten
Valkyrie presses a series of keys at high speed*. The screen suddenly CHANGES COLOR and layout, showing only the words:
*Fatal error has occurred. Press any key to continue. If error persists, please reboot your Construct.*
Valkyrie tilts her head and asks: “Why, Construct, do you wish to continue, when the error has proven fatal for your operational capacity? Preliminal analysis does not suggest a reboot as a viable solution.”

* Press any key to continue* LINE BLINKS

The androids hand glides gently over the box and she say: “If you insist, Construct, I will try to repair your operating system.”
Valkyrie puts the keyboard down, reaches over the monitor and tips it slightly forward. She pulls out a cable from her temple, connects it to Construct. (Digital sound) Android picks up the keyboard and starts typing rapidly. CUT TO BACK OF ROOM Focus shifts between layers of rubble illuminated by monitor and android. Sound of keyboard tapping and humming Construct.

*Driver appears to be out of date and could cause a problem if you choose to continue and run the program. Strongly recommended to update.* *Continue?*

Android continues. During progress, error messages occur.

*Updating*
*Error code=0#10000100*
*Updating*
*The operation completed successfully*

"I see you contain video files. Please play them now." Construct starts to load a file.

At first video looks innocuous, then escalates into scenes of greater and greater violence. Switch between monitor and Valkyrie’s facial expression.

Slutten

Valkyrie begins to shake, an error message appears on-screen. ”Construct, I detect a virus or corrupted file in your system! Warning! Warning!”Androids voice has a monotonous tint.

Construct: *Downloading program UT63584_0045*

Valkyrie continues to shake. Her system short-circuits and sparks start coming out of Androids temple link.

" Detect a corrupt… …video files. Please pl.. Why, Construct… do you wish to… Hello."

Valkyrie's light dims and she collapses to the ground. FADE

FADE IN
Construct reboots, weak light from monitor shines upon Valkyrie. Short message remains on display:
CAMERA ZOOM IN FROM BEHIND, FOCUS ON SCREEN
