EXT. VEIN BLOOD STREAM

Within the red lit blood stream of a vein groups of cells are

floating past as they make their way around the circulatory

system. One cell floats past really close and its contents can

be seen inside.

INT. CELL

Within the nucleus of the cell lies a busy factory duplicating

chromosomes that enter it through one end and spews them out

of another. The factory is powered by two glowing mitochondria

engines that float nearby, connected by power lines.

The duplicated chromosomes that exit the factory are capped

with protective red telomeres but as time passes the telomeres

start to shorten.

As the chromosomes lose their telomeres the engines start

changing hue and begin to overheat and the factory starts

groaning in stress from the duplication process.

EXT. CELL

The factories stress starts to have an effect on the overall

cell. From the outside just for a split second the cell can be

seen rippling and changing colour.

Out from the darkness of the blood stream a glowing telomerase

descends onto the cell like a holy entity, entering the cell

through the top.

INT. CELL

The telomerase gently lowers down on top of the factory and

attaches itself. The engines get supercharged and start

glowing radiantly from this new telomerase.

The chromosomes regain their original length of red telomeres

and start flying out of the factory at a really fast pace in

all directions.

The supercharging of the telomerase begins to have a negative

effect on the factory. First its the engines to get affected

as they turn red like before but this time burning with a

massive hot glow.

The factory itself then catches the symptoms of the

accelerating production. Ripples roll throughout the factories

surface and bump start protruding everywhere.

Even the chromosomes themselves start duplicating in weird

shapes and their colour starts change to a darker, blacker

hue.

EXT. CELL

The cell itself begins to take on these symptoms as it bulges

out with lumps. Even its transparency starts becoming solid

and gaining a brownish diseased colour.

The cell then divides into two but they also take on these new

features and even developing more. They grow out tendril

appendages and their texture becomes mucus like.

The other cells in the blood stream also start mutating and

dividing in the background.

INT. CELL

The interior is now dark and solemn and the sounds of the

factory have died down to something more reminiscent of a

broken robot.

The factory is now laying in a sloppy mess of ruined flesh but

still operating and steadily spewing out mutated chromosomes.

The engines can be seen still slightly glowing beneath all of

the deforming new skin thats grown on top of them.

One mutated chromosome slowly floats into view underneath a

light shining in from outside.

The chromosome suddenly shatters and disperses into

nothingness and the light shuts off along with it.
