(Zalli, Katlyn, Lisa)
MUSIC: CLIMAXING
ZALLI: We have a rapid oncoming weather storm in front of us. Lisa,
are you getting this?
LISA: I cannot see anything on the radar, maybe your radar’s playing
up because of the magnetic field?
ZALLI: Yeah maybe. Katlyn, how are you doing up front?
KATLYN: Good but there’s something in front of us, about 50 metres
away. It looks like its growing fast. Is it still on your radar?
ZALLI: positive, it looks like a huge tropical storm, however it’s not the
time of the year for typhoons.
SOUNDS: PLANE FLYING FROM INSIDE, THUNDER AND
LIGHTNING
KATLYN: Might be a bit of turbulence as we have to go through the
storm. I don’t think we can go around; the storm looks miles
wide.
ZALLI: Oh shit, this storm is huge. The magnetic field is making my
radar and compass malfunction. Katlyn, speed up we need to
get through this storm.
KATLYN: Negative. Captain said not too. Lisa how are we doing on the
radar?
LISA: The aircraft isn’t on the radar anymore, it disappeared once you
said you were going into the storm

malfunctioning, Lisa can you try fix this.
