Part One

[Planet surface]

(On an alien planet with a very big moon in the sky, troops appear at the top of a ridge. Below them, green humanoids lie dead amongst explosions. They fire at fleeing survivors. Don Henderson is in charge.)

GAVROK: Take no prisoners! Kill them all!

(A young woman in white is defended by two green aliens. They kill one of their attackers, who retaliate. As Gavrok sounds a horn, the young woman shoots, cracking it.)
