EARLY DRAFT
Out of BLACK we hear the sound of an airplane roaring by.
EXT. POV OF AN AIRPLANE
Flying over American heartland. We see the earth through the
pilots perspective as sky and ground swap positions, the
plane swooping down and storming over the ground.
THE PLANE
is a biplane, racing over a field lush with young plants. It
releases a trail of crop spray, an
pulse cannon.

Comon, lets go ! ON THE BOUNCE
The cap troopers move out, among them DIZZY FLORES, 18, ACE
LEVY, 19, and KITTEN SMITH, 18. The CAMERA pauses, unsure.
FED NET CENTRAL (O.S.)
FOLLOW THEM...! GO ! GO !
The CAMERA follows. The PULSE of BUG BATTERIES is blinding.
Cap Troopers scream as they are torn apart right and left by an enemy
seen only in disorientating glimpses.
