Setting: Aberdeen/ Highlands

Scene : An auditorium for students.

We see a red haired girl attending a lecture on metabolism, she is taking notes.. the professor speaks;

'So as demonstrated the evolution of enzymes is crucial to the furtherment of us as a species, they control digestion, air intake, even our ability to control and beat diseases, it is hypothesised that if we could achieve 30% enzyme evolution in our lifetime, we all could become immortal..' students laugh.

'You're all laughing.. but I'm not joking.. In Scotland we are known for being 'tough' this isn't due.. I would say, to being naturally selected as such, but that we have a unique diet that our enzymes had to evolve to cope with, the diet of a creature over it's lifetime can make many 'personal evolutionary' changes to how that creature works.. and we Scots are no exception, in fact, we are exceptional in how we cope with those mechanisms. The well known story of the Scotsman who with a butter knife removed his infected toe then bandaged his foot in his living room, when asked he said 'Och Ah didnæ like tæ bother the Doctor so Ah sorted it oot masel' :students rabble a laugh: HOW did he fight off that further infection to the wound, when so many around the world die so much easier?.. evolution?? or 'personal evolution' of enzymes?'

'Thank you for attending my lecture, gee'n up yur drinking hours of the night!' :rabble laughter:
'But I remind students, we are NOT invincible, Scots or nay!.. don't overdo the drink as a flying into a tree from a motorbike WILL kill you! goodnight!'

students clap with a big round of applause.

The red haired girl collects her notes and belongings with a smile on her face, having enjoyed the lecture, outside we see it is night, around 10pm, we see her eyes scanning the road for a taxi.. she pulls out her phone and is about to phone one, when a all white taxi drives up.. the drivers says 'looking for a ride?' she answers as she gets in the back 'aye smashing!.. here this is a weird taxi.. all white?' he locks the doors and says 'sorry hen they huv ma family, if I don't hand over someone they will kill them, I'm too old for the trip, but you'll do nicely'. Sophie now notices there is chicken wire over the glass partition between her and the driver, she starts screaming and kicking, the driver has turned the tannoy off however and can't hear her.. then she stops suddenly, she looks in her bag for her phone and phones the police, they sound strange and think it is a student prank call, she hangs up, she then reaches in her bag and puts on her trainers, lays down on the back seat and starts to kick the window, the driver pulls over, takes out a machete and goes to the door she is kicking..he opens it and says 'only way oot hen is death OR you do a job for them, you'll be paid well over 20 grand!.. the job is smuggling drugs' Sophie is startled at first by his honesty but 'Ah'm no interested ya creepy weirdo!' shouts Sophie.. at that he shuts the door, takes Sophie's picture and then makes a phone call. He stands watching Sophie.. 5 minutes later a van arrives.

Sophie is tied to a chair and has a hood over her head, all we see is from inside the hood.

We hear The Englishman talking to the goons.. 'I *thought* I told you NOT to kidnap anyone.. you know how well that went the last time!' one of the goons says 'should we just get rid of her?'..The Englishman replies..'What a waste of life!.. but this matter does not concern me, you will deal with it internally.. and this time find me participant who is WILLING!' (we hear the footsteps of The Englishman as he leaves).

One of the goons comes over to Sophie taking off her hood ..'be a shame to ruin her pretty face' he says with a genuine sad note in his voice ..and shoots her in the stomach. The chair topples and Sophie is on her right side with her head next to the leg of a table.. one the goons commenting 'lets let her cook until shes dead, can't watch that. let's go outside for a smoke'.

Sophie starts doing the only thing she can banging her head on the table leg.. after three concessive bangs a package drops, it looks like a red version of the CPh4, Sophie is in great pain, and figures.. why not? she rips the package open with her teeth and inhales what she can of the drug, then begins eating it.

We see inside Sophie, the drugs evolving her enzymes, even dissolving the bullet, at that point she starts to feel better, she loosens her ropes and ingests the whole package, she looks up and sees 4 more packages in the table and promptly and without question takes those too.. she comments to herself 'this stuff is like pop-rocks when I was a kid, I couldn't stop eating them either!' .. then she muses: 'I was a fat child.. until they got discontinued!' :sad joke face:

Sophie is still bleeding from her stomach badly but she doesn't seem to feel the pain. She sneaks out the left hand cabin door, with the goons on the right outside.

Her heart is racing, she can hear it beating in her chest, she realizes she is at a railway yard, it's around 2 am. She is about 40 miles from home, she starts walking. Once she is free of the yard, she phones her best friend 'Olivia'.. 'Livy come get me ah'm stranded!!'.. half asleep in bed she says 'it's 2am ur ye nuts?' then she replies..'hawd oan.. i'll git ma coat'.

Sophie and Livy are in the car, Sophie is now wearing a big coat over her blood soaked white sweater, the radio is playing 'My Immortal' by Evanescence. Sophie and Livy are strangely silent for the entire journey, as we fade into the music that makes the scenes a montage of the journey.

Sophie wakes up in the morning in bed to find she fell asleep in her clothes, her white sweater has matted into a suture to her stomach sealing the wound, she cuts around the sutured area with scissors, we can see her skin and blood has absorbed some of the wool material, making it almost transparent.

We scene into an hour later half way through a phone conversation with her professor, she is still at home at her breakfast table sun shining through the window.

Soph '.. I mean I've done some crazy drugs in my time but nothing like this'
Prof. ' whoa whoa.. like I told you, you have to look after yourself, you have no idea where this stuff came from or what it's doing to you internally!'
Soph ' ..buuut, I'm still ALIVE' :smiles:
Prof ' Aye and we want to keep you that way.. come over to the bio lab a.s.a.p., we can run some basic tests there without having to call the polis'
Soph :laughs: 'Okay, see you then.'

Back at the railway yard, the driver is tied to a chair and has blood running down his face, the two goons standing over him, 'where did you pick her up?' the driver answers 'if she LIVED after you SHOT her.. I'm telling you nothing!'.. 'my family are free of you, they are gone!' The goons had picked up the driver at Aberdeen airport, his family already safely on board, the driver was at a cash machine inside the airport getting some money when they kidnapped him by hidden gunpoint.

One of the goons checks the driver's smartphone GPS, 'here.. the auditorium, he stopped here'. they google who was speaking and find out it was for the university biology department.

As Sophie walks towards to the stairs, the two goons pull up in a car and begin shooting at her..

The bullets bounce off her. Like her skin is impenetrable rubber. They ricochet back at the goons, who are in shock. Sophie comments to herself.. 'oh ..cool!'. The goons get in their vehicle and speed away, we see their faces as we face the windscreen but also Sophie in the rear view cheekily waving goodbye.

She goes inside the building and to the bio lab, to meet the Professor, who we find out due to his name on the side of the door, is Prof. Damian McMichael. She knocks and instantly enters; 'Prof. McMichael?'

'Yes, Sophie Ah'm here.. Ah heard the shooting outside ur ye okay?'
'Aye Ah'm fine!' answers Sophie
'Good good.. now let's get some blood out of ye! Ah'm not a vampire Ah promise!' :kind smile:
Under her breath as the Prof. takes her blood sample she says 'And good looking!'
he hears this and comments.. 'And married' :kind smile: at that point the needle goes 'ping!' breaking.
Prof: wow, I've never seen THAT. We can just take a sample of saliva.. no kissing required. as he takes a cotton swab to Sophie's mouth.
'Is there anything else you would like to me to know about?'
Soph: 'yes' pulling up her T-Shirt
Prof : 'WHOA'
Soph : 'Don't be silly.. I was shot in the stomach remember?' she now sees the wool has been totally absorbed and her stomach is back to normal, even her belly button.
Prof: 'erm what am I looking at?'
Soph: 'one of the most incriminating but totally innocent short stories ever!' Sophie puts her T-Shirt back on.
Prof: 'erm.. I dunno what to say to that'
Soph: 'I have a nice bra?.. but seriously, have a look at my biology from that swab, you saw how the needle didn't break my skin.'
Prof: 'Righto, will do!'

Sophie starts to feel VERY hungry, and so goes to a local McDonald's.. there she eats; 12 x big mac MEALS, 200 chicken nuggets many many cokes.. this is her body getting ready for

Sophie is a biology student, she is studying for a Masters, unlike Andrea, Sophie has an idea what's happening, but unlike Andrea who accepted it, Sophie hopes things will return to 'normal' .. she is unwilling to believe the change is permanent.

We see Sophie outside of McDonalds she flashes white, she unwillingly, absorbs her shoes, then her t-shirt.. she rushes inside to get more food, she is almost broke but buys 3 more big mac meals, gently rushing the person behind the counter. the meals come she eats them and the absorption of her clothes stop. She pulls out her phone and calls Livy.

'Ye know how.. I never mention it but y'know?'..
Livy: 'what??'
Soph: ' Erm helped you with that thing then loaned you all that money kinda thing I never would mention again coz BFF n stuff?'
Livy: 'What on earth ur ye jist aboot tæ ask me??'

The goons are now not two goons.. they went and got backup, there are now 20 goons. We see them in a circle with a better dressed (BD) mobster telling them :

BD : 'She has the drugs in her system. we capture her and throw her in a human sized blender. Then we get the drugs back.'
Original Goon
OG: But she has bullet proof skin, how do we capture her sir?
BD: Well I am glad you didn't spill any of her precious blood, that was fortunate! I have suitable weapons to capture her.' BD then hands out Sci-Fi looking net shooting tasers.

Sophie is at Livy's apartment/large flat She is now properly dressed, and in another big thick coat, livy seems to have endless supplies of these types of coats. They are drinking tea, it is cold outside, we join them halfway through the conversation.

Livy: so y'know what you're asking me is crazy right?
Soph: Totally, but I've finally accepted it, without this I'm going to die or worse, absorb random things/and or people. I can't control it.. REALLY I tried, it doesn't work via thought. BUT if I absorb enough energy.. I know it will STOP.
Livy: okay then.. let's go into town and buy you some food and clothes for the journey. :Livy says this like it's a day-trip with her best friend.. like its normal.. this warms Sophie's heart:

In town, they are shopping and buying as much food as will fit in the car as possible, coming out of a Aulds the bakers, the goon-squad surprises the girls three nets around them shock and incapacitate them. They wake up in the rail yard, Sophie is tied to the same chair as before.. she says..'I've been here before..' Sophie absorbs the bag on her head and absorbs the ropes.. time slows, the music of 'Hello' by Evanescence begins to play, we cut scenes from now and the upcoming journey, of Sophie and Livy sitting in the car listening to that song and no native sound, the song only.. :slow motion: Sophie walks towards a goon and puts her right hand on his shoulder, all the while bullets bouncing off her in slow motion, in a white flash he is gone :scene: The Scottish hills roll by :scene: two goons with uzi's and determined faces, Sophie palms out waves her hands downward a ripple goes down her legs and follows a straight path to the goons.. in a white flash they are gone :scene: a lonesome road by a hillside, the car comes into view and comes towards us going out of view :scene: BD has two of the web tasers, he shoots them at Sophie.. they land on her, and as they do, she absorbs them and keeps walking, she lays her right hand on BD.. and like the others; a flash! and gone! :scene: from afar we see a what looks like a small village and the car heading towards it. As they approach the music goes into the background like on the radio, Sophie gets a phone call from Prof. McMichaels, he says excitedly

'Sophie this chemical engineering on another level, I've never seen anything like it, you HAVE to come in for study!'
But Sophie is unmoved and replies:
'Thanks for being kind.. and for being hot!' :half laughing smile: hangs up.

The music/slow motion resumes.. we now have cut scenes between 2 minutes from now and now. : we see Sophie on a nuclear Submarine shouting 'GET OUT' her skin is now glowing white :scene: Sophie's skin begins to glow as she steps out of the car, she and Livy are some distance away, there is a warning sign saying 'Naval Base' :scene: Sophie is walking through the parking lot with many many soldiers shooting at her, she is absorbing the bullets as they come, :scene: Sophie is covering the barrel of a rifle with her hand, the guard post soldier face shocked :scene: Sophie is aboard the Submarine at the core laying her hands on the reactor..
