[Script] Sentinel Chronicles - November Project - Act 2 - Scene 3

I just learned this will be called Order 37, so I'll try to refer to that in future drafts.

Scene: Captain Muerto Poderosa is walking through the desert.  He spots a scorpion on the ground.

The Scorpion raises its stinger menacingly and extends its claws.  Muerto nods in respect, smiling and then continues walking through the desert.  He is listening to heavy metal music through headphones.

Command (Voice Over): Attention all humans in sector 457-72.  This is a general order 37.  Repeat, this is a General Order 37.  By the Treaty of Mel's Diner; all human factions are required to respond.  Critical supplies for Desolation Base have been downed.  Coordinates being broadcast.  Repeat, coordinates being broadcast, Order 37.

Scene: Muerte checks his watch, then checks his compass.  He looks at the sun and looks back in the general direction of the scorpion as if asking a question.  Then he shrugs, smiles and runs off in the direction of the downed plan.
