Box of Data

 * Box of data** is a scene.\\
 * Location**: Catalina\\
 * Setting**: Island Project\\
 * Synopsis**: Some of the students are exploring Catalina in the summer following their graduation of the eight grade.

Outline
Here is a chronological outline.

* Box falls out of cargo helicopter. New pilot fucking around, and a door that wasn't shut properly. The box was data collected during the early excavation of the Janus Academy, from the 1980s. While they don't contain any sensitive information, the Chalice Group doesn't know that, and will go to great lengths to get the box back. * Multiple groups of school aged people are in the area, two of which happen upon the box at the same time, and while they are discussing its contents, another party comes upon them.

Lizzie meets Alfonzo
//Lizzie is walking alone in the woods near the shoreline. She has her hair wrapped up in a bandana. She hops from rock to rock on the riff-wrap touching anemones to make them close, trying to get near starfish then catching a black crab and letting it go. She heads up into the woods and sees some people standing around. She observes them for a moment and notices Alfonzo walking over in the distance. She turns off her walkman and smells her breath. Alfonzo can't quite make out what the group is looking at and makes his way over to Lizzie's vantage point. //


 * Lizzie:** Hi.


 * Alfonzo:** Hey. What are you guys looking at?


 * Lizzie:** I dunno. I can't see anything from over here. Let's go have a look! I'm Lizzie.


 * Alfonzo:** Nice to meet you Elizabeth, my name's Alfonzo Gurrero.


 * Lizzie:** Hey Alfy.

// They shake hands. The two walk together over to the steel security box which had been unhinged upon impact in the clearing. Some of the lights on the lid are blinking orange and green. The sound of a dial-up modem is audible.//


 * Alfonzo:** Oh dang! Can you guys get AOHell on that thing? I need to check my email.


 * Lizzie:** What the heck is that thing? Do you find things like this on Catalina all the time?

//Billy Delong and his young cousin Evan Delong are tearing open an attache and manilla envelopes, struggling to keep the growing mess managable. //


 * Evan:** Hey Billy, I got some checks!

//He hands a pad of rectangular paper to Billy//


 * Billy:** Aw no man, that's just a carbon copy register man. Those things are useless!

//Billy pockets the register.//


 * Evan:** No way dudette. This is a rare find indeed. We usually get lucky on the West siiiide!


 * Billy:** Indubidubly.


 * Evan:** Indubidoubly?


 * All:** Indubidoubly.


 * Alfonzo:** Really? What kind of things have you found washed up on the beach?


 * Billy:** No friggin' dubloons that's for sure.


 * Evan:** You guys got all your school supplies for the main event?


 * Alfonzo:** Yup. I'm all set. My Tia Isabell just gave me a new backpack.


 * Evan:** *sigh* Too many sacklunch accidents?


 * Alfonzo:** Naw fool! I just needed a bigger space to put mis libros. Besides, I don't wanna get my ass kicked over a Captian Uranus over the shoulder book bag.


 * Evan:** Forget you! Captian Uranus is awesome and you know it. I mean, how would you just like to *BOOP* *WAAAAYAAA*

//Evan fights imaginary ninja//


 * Lizzie:** I would like to have the power to turn invisible. You could get a lot done if nobody knew where you were.

//Evan quits fighting ninja//


 * Evan:** Yeah? What would your superhero name be?


 * Lizzie:** What makes you think I'd be a //hero//?


 * Billy and Evan** Oooooh dang!


 * Alfonzo** Oh, hey Evan, this is Elizabeth. We just met, uh, I just met her.


 * Lizzie** Nice to meet you Captian. Who's your sidekick?


 * Evan** Oh yeah. That's Billy. He's my cousin. He's also my boss.


 * Billy** Unofficially.


 * Evan** Unofficial boss. A man's gotta put work in, son.


 * Alfonzo** Whatever man, what does that even mean?

//Billy starts trying to move the box and the orange and green lights go red. The modem sounds cease. The machine turns off.//


 * Billy** I don't like the looks of that. Let's get on the road Evan.

//They gather a few papers and disks and dissapear into the treeline//


 * Alfonzo** Do you eat lunch?

//Lizzie gives Alfonzo a dirty look.//
