KANE enters the factory through the CONVEYOR PLATFORM entrance. He sees DR. BLOODORY lying unconscious on the floor.
KANE: Bloodory! No!
KANE rushes to the DOCTOR’S side and shakes him. DR. BLOODORY groans.
BLOODORY: ...Wha...What happened?
KANE: The prisoners have escaped. Oxus and Alana as well.
BLOODORY sits up, and puts his hand on his aching head.
BLOODORY: What? ...Escaped?! ...But... How?
KANE: The fools are running back home to Ondos in one of the Destroyers. No matter, let them run; we’ll have our ship back soon enough. Little do they know their entire world is about to fall! The King and his niece will die, and I’ll have everyone working in the mines...even the children!
BLOODORY: I’ve got to get back to the lab...
KANE helps BLOODORY to his feet, and drapes the unsteady DOCTOR’S arm over his shoulder.
KANE: Quickly, Doctor, we’ve no time to lose!
