Scream of the Shalka (webcast): Difference between revisions

Two men, [[Dawson (Scream of the Shalka)|Dawson]] and [[McGrath (Scream of the Shalka)|McGrath]] are out in the middle of the desert. Dawson is trying to communicate with a tracking aircraft via radio but can’t seem to get through. McGrath is curious as to what could be interfering with the signal out there but Dawson remarks that it’s probably a new radio station called “Volcano FM” which McGrath finds interesting. Dawson then spots what he thinks is the aircraft but McGrath realises it’s a meteorite and that it’s going to land close by. The two men eagerly set off after it. Dawson is fascinated at the sight of it but McGrath thinks he can see something moving in the crater. Dawson initially believes it to be smoke but soon realises McGrath is right. They’re curious as to what it is but Dawson thinks it’s some type of worm and tries to grab it. The creature lets out a scream and disappears. Dawson realises that it dug into the rock and has somehow made it molten. McGrath then starts coughing; struggling to breathe due to the gas that’s emerging from the crater but Dawson replies that this is discovery is huge and they need to get a crew over there. McGrath continues to cough and Dawson realises he can’t move. The ground begins to shake and McGrath can feel there’s something beneath them. The two men become increasingly panicked but their cries are cut out by an ear-piercing scream.
