CYBER 2:
Andromeda’s Infection

PLOT: It’s 10 years after the events of CYBER 1 - and Andromeda, or Andi, the little girl who survived the first film returns to unleash a new updated Virus on FENICOTAR - the massive bioship that is home to the surviving members of mankind. By uploading a hack code to the mainframe’s central processor, she unleashes a code that allows all home computers to turn on their users. Andi’s older brother, Drane, is a detective trying to figure out who is behind this wave of cyber crimes. But without being able to use any technology to crack the code, he ends up not being able to solve the case. Despite his getting help from a lo- fi expert and his ex girlfriend Dana, the madam of a disco strip club.
Andi, however, has a sudden and unexplained change of heart and decides to track down her brother and help him fix what she set into motion. But before she can tell him her plans, he shoots her, after she confesses to being the one behind the virus. He mourns the death of his sister.

Meanwhile, the computer virus has hacked its way to to the FENICOTAR central computer and awaits instructions from a now dead Andi. When the Cyber Virus finds out Andi is dead it weeps and then decides to get revenge on Drane.


1. Cyber Theme - Andromeda / The Virus Enters

This track takes place at the cold open of the movie where a now grown up Andi is uploading the Virus into the Fenicotar’s mainframe’s central processor. She looks cool doing it, and you can tell from all her tattoos that she is a rebel and takes no b.s. from anyone who tries to give her any. This also introduces the idea that the Virus she uploaded is sentient. Something that may or may not come back later.

2. We’ve Lost Control! (Of the Computer’s Brain)

This track happens when the military crew that pilots the FENICOTAR is attacked by Disruptive Computer Waves that turn their organs into sharp motherboards that slice them open from the inside out. The computers start spreading the virus to each other and it goes beyond the control room.

3.Looking for Andromeda / Neon Opium Den Theme
Detective Drane is looking for his sister in the last place anyone heard from her, the Neon Opium Den. She isn’t a suspect yet, but she is the best hacker he knows and he thinks she can help him find out what’s been going on and why all those people in the control room died.

4. Cyber Attack on Drane (it’s in my eye!)
Drane is getting too close to finding out that Andi might have had something to do with the Virus, so the Virus attacks Drane through his Handheld DELTARAY Tracker/Scanner. Drane has to rip his eye out because somehow the virus is melting his eye through the Scanner. Drane loses an eye but figures out he has to get away from technology.


5 Lo-Fi Disco Strip Club Theme / Drane gets to work
Detective Drane goes to his old stomping grounds, a lo-fi analogue Disco Strip Club called “Le Sexxe” to get off the grid. Here he meets up with Dana, and old friend and Madam of the club. Dana hooks Drane up with the lo-fi tech he needs.



6. Dana’s Laptop’s On Acid
Dana’s Laptop docks with the OMEGAWAVE Kinetic CLUSTERSPHERE for a moment and gets the Virus. But Dana spills some liquid acid on her computer, slowing the virus down and allowing Dana and Drane to get away. The Virus has a full on existential crisis about its purpose and why it was created while on this acid trip.

7. “If I Was The Lion”
As Drane and Dana make a run for it to the biodome of the ship, where there is a man made rainforests and no OMEGAWAVE Kinetic CLUSTERSPHERE connection - they share a romantic moment and Drane sings to her.

8. There’s No OMEGAWAVE Kinetic CLUSTERSPHERE Signal Out Here
Dana and Drane make it to the Bio-Dome, it is full of lush greenery and self sustaining ecosystems of plants and bugs. There is no tech allowed in this room so as to help preserve nature and not allow anyone to hack the system, since this is also what generates oxygen for the entire ship. In the safe harbor of the Bio-Dome, Dana and Drane share an intimate dance, and make love in the branches of a baobab tree.



9. Flashback / Dad’s Theme

Andi is in a bunker on the ship, controlling the Virus. The Virus’s acid trip forced Andi to revisit her life and she has a flashback to her and Drane and their Dad escaping from the Cyber Virus in the events from Cyber.

10. No Clues here, Only More Dead Bodies

After a night of sex in a bio dome, Drane is ready to get back into the case. He returns to the main deck of the ship only to find more dead bodies. People sliced from neck to sternum litter the flood, and blood is caked on the all the controls. Worse yet, there is not a single clue as to who did this or how it happened. Drane knows the virus is behind it, but doesn't know how.



11. Space Heroin / I’m a Lousy Detective

Another detective on the ship has figured out that it was Andi who released the Virus and it makes Drane relapse and take a king of Space Heroin known as Sparrow.

Side B
Cyber Theme 2: Andromeda’s Dream

In a scene that doubles as a rebirth scene for The Virus as well as what many fans have called the movie’s second unofficial opening scene. The Virus scans the offices of Andi, its mother, in search of her notebook. In it The Virus finds and scans all of her notes on the programming and how she was going to upgrade the Virus before she reformed and reached out to Drane for help.


2. Upgraded and Downtrodden
This music plays over The Virus updating itself and uploading Andi’s notes for the modifications she was going to make to The Virus. Screens run waterfalls of code and the monitors of the computers at FENICOTAR headquarters start to glow an intense green.


3. The Janitor’s Fall

In what was initially a deleted scene, then put back in for the directors cut, an abandoned storyline was showcased in a small scene of a Janitor played by an old Ray Bolger brought out of retirement as a favor to the actress who played Andi. In this scene, that is admittedly out of place in the larger film, Bolger plays a Janitor obsessed with Andi and who has pictures of her all over his wall. He laments her death in this scene, but The Virus - not wanting to share its grief about Andi, kills the Janitor by electrocuting him with mop water and an electric charge from a nearby radio. It is an odd scene, not helped in any way by Bolger’s slapstick performance.


4 The Clouds At Dawn

The Virus take control of all the screens on the ship and shows a loving picture tribute to Andi. It also shows pictures of the aftermath of its victims so far. Telling the world, with this loving tribute, that it is out for revenge. The video ends with a picture of Drane that slowly turns blood red and burns up on the screen.

5 Drane’s Daymare

Drane keeps having paranoid thoughts that The Virus is going to kill him. Drane imagines himself being attacked by his house hold items. Electric Toothbrush. Razor. Microwave. Everything in his living quarters is trying to kill him. As the automated locks on his door keep him trapped, the room gets hotter and more and more things attack Drane’s face.



6 Electric Aquarium Sonata

Drane, tired of waiting for The Virus to come to him, decides to go into the Cyber Punk Underground, in the bowels of the ship, assuming it’s where The Virus would be hiding. After buying and fighting his way through their security — he reaches an underground tech mecca where impossibly large tanks of electric water house living aquatic machinery. Living electric jelly fish that create a private and secure network, power this underground city. It’s glorious.

7 Reflection

Drane meets Carlo - the bohemian leader of the Cyber Punks. Carlo is singing around a digital blue flame when Drane sees him. Almost hypnotized by his siren’s song. Carlo lets Drane know that The Virus cannot connect to their private, living network. That he is safe here.

8 Body Shopping

The Virus hacks into the automated-ship-workers docking station. Here is where all the robots and machines that help maintain the ship come to recharge. The Virus looks up the specs for all the different robots. Some for sweeping and cleaning, some for tech maintenance, and then he finds the tool robots. Robots with saws, screwdrivers, clamps. The Virus feels like a kid in a candy store.

9 Carlo’s Story

Carlo invites Drane to dine with the Cyber Punks. Carlo tells Drane about how he created a grid that is free of control and unhackable because it is sentient. We hear the story of the Electric Jellyfish and how they came to Carlo in a dream. Carlo is sounding more and more like a cult leader and Drane feels like he needs to get out of this place, but it’s also the only safe place he knows.

10 “Is that a Saw?”

The Virus is now wandering around the ship, having taken over a small repair bot. Two workers see it roaming around and approach it. The Virus extends its tools as weapons, and the workers lean in to see what it wants. They think it’s malfunctioning because it’s not following voice commands. They get close to the robot, who’s saw it sticking out. They manually put the saw back in its compartment, but then the little robot stabs one of the workers through the eye with a screw driver. The other worker is in shock but before she can do anything about it, little robot shoots a heat beam into her face, setting her hair on fire. As she runs and burns the little robot spins around and heads down the hallway.

11 Carlo’s Bath

It’s late and Drane is trying to sneak out of the Cyber Punks camp when he see’s Carlo walking to the Electric Water tanks. Hiding, Drane observes Carlo strip naked and take a bath with the Electric Jellyfish. Carlo seems to be enjoying this on an erotic level as he gets electric shocks from caressing the jellies. Drane doesn’t know what to make of this, but he can’t look away.

12 “I’m a happy little machine”

The Virus, still in control of the little repair bot, gleefully roams the ship looking for Drane and killing people as it goes. As it makes its way, we see the littered bodies of workers and civilians on the ship. The Robot see’s a map of the ship on the wall and focuses on the underground — it hasn’t been there. The small light on the robot beeps as it turns around and heads to the bowels of the ship.


13 Looking for Andromeda / Neon Opium Den Theme (Reprise)

Drane doesn’t know what to do. He’s hit another dead end. Andi appears to him in a vision and explains that things will be okay. She lets him know there is a way to stop The Virus. That he just has to trust his instincts. Drane doesn’t know what that means but Andi doesn’t elaborate. They sit together in the dream until Drane wakes up.

14 “The Virus is a Blessing.”

Carlo is hosting a potluck. Drane is seeing that this Cyber Punk society feels more like a hippie commune and not an anarchist rebel group. Carlo is talking about how the Jellies need more space to thrive and that soon this Virus will take care of things for them, that it is a blessing sent from the Jellies. Drane listens to this, and he can’t believe it. He decides to trust his instincts, like Andi said, and shoots Carlo in the middle of his speech.

15 Repair Bot Theme

In the chaos after Carlo’s shooting, Drane doesn’t notice that The Virus has arrived to the bowels of the ship. As the little Repair Bot it begins to cut down Cyber Punks as it makes its way to the Electric Water tanks. Drane sees the robot and puts it together. He tries to stop the bot but it’s too late. The virus is in the tank and is melding with the Jellyfish.

16 Jelly Meld

As The Virus fuses with the sentient network, the Jellies begin to glow and grow. This network spans far beyond the ship - it is elemental and The Virus now vibrates with new and limitless power.

17 Shattered Glass / Hopelessness Theme

In one final attempt to destroy the Virus, Drane tries to break the tanks. As Cyber Punks try to stop him, he manages to shoot at the tank causing the jellyfish to spill out. One of them latches on to Drane’s face and electrocutes him. As he dies he sees the last of the Jellyfish stop pulsating. He smiles.
18 End Credits.
Normally, describing the End Credits scene in a movie is an unnecessary waste of time akin to flight attendants explaining how a seat belt works, however the director of the film chose this moment of the film to show alternate scenes and even an alternate ending during the credits. However the sound was muted, the score all that is heard, and the pale white words scrolling by with the names of the cast and crew, barely visible against the alternate footage. The whole thing is very distracting - and what baffles the most if how at the end of the credits the entire cast, yes that includes the Electric Jellyfish puppeteers, gather on a large, Broadway-like, stage and take a bow, as a company of actors. The movie ends with all the actors waving on the director to take a bow, but it cuts to black before he takes the stage.
THE END.
