ACT 1:
INT. VAULT INTERIOR - NIGHT
The newly revealed passageway from Episode 2 stretches into darkness. The hum of energy pulses rhythmically. Ishaan and Sarita, hesitant but determined, descend deeper. The walls are now adorned with glowing geometric patterns that shift as they pass.
SARITA:
"These patterns... they're alive."
ISHAAN:
"No, they're responding to something."
A faint glow emanates from the walls, casting an ethereal light on their faces. Suddenly, the pulse slows, and a holographic projection materializes in the air.
HOLOGRAM VOICE:
"Seeker... state your purpose."
ISHAAN:
"We're trying to understand. Why is this happening? Who built this place?"
HOLOGRAM VOICE:
"The threads of your past hold the answers. Seek the cradle of humanity."
*The hologram flickers and disappears, leaving a faint symbol glowing on the wall. Ishaan quickly snaps a picture.*
SARITA:
"The cradle of humanity? Is it talking about where we evolved?"
ISHAAN:
"Maybe... or something much older."

ACT 2:
EXT. BASTAR FOREST - DAY
The scene transitions to Bastar. Riya Mehta sketches another vivid geometric design. Her hands work feverishly, as though guided by an unseen force. Nearby, villagers whisper in hushed tones.
VILLAGER 1:
"She sees things none of us can. The gods speak through her."
VILLAGER 2:
"Or she's cursed. These images... they're not natural."
Riya finishes her drawing and steps back. It's the same symbol Ishaan captured in the vault.
RIYA:
"They're calling me. I have to go."
Her voice is resolute. She begins packing her belongings, ignoring the protests of the villagers.

INT. NATIONAL SPACE RESEARCH CENTER - DAY
Anya Kapoor works tirelessly to decode the signal's next layer. Her screen is filled with overlapping waveforms and snippets of ancient Vedic text.
ANYA
(To herself)
"Come on... there's something here."
She overlays the signal with a fragment of the Rigveda. The patterns align perfectly.
ANYA:
"It's not just a language... it's a map."
*She overlays the map with Earth's geography. A series of points light up—all ancient archaeological sites.*
**LEAD SCIENTIST:**
"What are you saying?"
**ANYA:**
"Whoever sent this... they've been guiding us for millennia. The vault is just the beginning."

EXT. LAYERS OF EARTH - TIME-LAPSE SEQUENCE
The camera zooms through Earth's layers, showing humanity's history—from early cave paintings to ancient temples. The sequence ends on the bustling streets of modern India, where technological advancement contrasts with cultural roots.
---
INT. VAULT INTERIOR - NIGHT
Ishaan and Sarita find another chamber. Inside is a massive mural depicting celestial beings interacting with early humans. The beings are teaching, guiding.
SARITA:
"They've been here all along... watching us."
ISHAAN:
"No. They've been preparing us."
He notices a small pedestal in the center of the room. On it rests a spherical object that pulses with light. Ishaan reaches for it, and as he touches it, a surge of images floods his mind.
FLASHBACK SEQUENCE:
- Early humans discovering fire, guided by shadowy figures.
- Ancient temples being constructed under celestial alignments.
- A massive catastrophe—floods, earthquakes—and the beings retreating into the Earth.
ISHAAN:
(Gasping, pulling back)
"They're not just our creators... they're our guardians."

ACT 4:
INT. NATIONAL SPACE RESEARCH CENTER - NIGHT
*Anya receives a message from Ishaan with an image of the symbol. She compares it to Riya's sketches, which she had seen in a news article.*
ANYA:
"This can't be a coincidence."
She begins coordinating with local officials in Bastar to find Riya.

FINAL SCENE:
EXT. BASTAR FOREST - NIGHT
Riya stands at the edge of the forest, looking up at the stars. The same symbol she drew glows faintly in the sky, mirrored by a constellation.
RIYA:
"I'm coming."
The camera pans upward, transitioning to a starry expanse. Among the stars, faint outlines of celestial beings shimmer, watching Earth.
FADE TO BLACK.
