IMPOSSIBLE GREETING - NESSIE LIKES SPEAKING TO THE METAL ROBOT

EXT. WHISPERING BAY – NIGHT
A moonlit mist curls over the surface of LOCH NESS, the water still as obsidian glass.

Then—
A ripple.
A shiver.
The surface peels back like heavy black silk.

From the depths, a serpentine neck rises, slick with ancient moisture. It sways with slow, hypnotic grace, as though tasting the air.

On the rocky shoreline, ANTHONY, a polished hexapod
robot, stands poised on six gleaming legs. His lights blink softly, casting ripples of colour across the stones.

Beside him, JIMMY grips his jacket, knuckles white.

JIMMY
(whispering)
Keep communicating, Anthony… please.

Anthony’s voice emerges, but it’s different now—layered, harmonic, almost musical.

ANTHONY
I cannot stop the creature speaking, Jimmy. She is… very talkative.

The towering creature drifts closer, her massive head emerging fully from the fog. Her eyes—vast, liquid, impossibly gentle—fix on the robot.

TIM Rubs his eyes hard, blinking as though trying to reset reality.

TIM
No way… absolutely no way.

From the
Jeep, RHONA slips out with feline stealth. She edges toward the water, her breath fogging in the cold air.

RHONA
(softly, amazed)
She likes him. She actually likes the little guy.

MARION Stands frozen behind her, breath shallow, eyes wide. The world she knows is dissolving.

A low, resonant HUM vibrates through the ground—Nessie’s voice. It’s deep, melodic, almost like a cello echoing underwater.

Anthony responds with a cascade of digital chirps and whistles, his lights pulsing in perfect rhythm.

The two beings—one ancient, one engineered—converse in a duet of impossible harmony.

Jimmy stares at his handheld monitor. A message pings.

ANTHONY (TEXT)
Be brave, young master. I am enjoying this chat with a legend that does not exist.

Jimmy’s breath catches.

JIMMY
(whispering)
Maximus… be careful. Your seals might leak…

Anthony clicks confidently and steps into the
water, submerging until only his sensor array remains above the surface.

The Watson family watches, spellbound.

Suddenly—

Nessie lets out a playful bubbling huff, then rolls onto her side like an enormous aquatic puppy.

A WAVE surges toward the shore.

MARION
Oh—!

The wave crashes over them, drenching everyone and completely engulfing Anthony.

Tim wipes lake‑weed from his forehead, grinning like a man reborn.

TIM
Well… that settles it. I’m done doubting anything ever again.

Jimmy shivers violently, soaked to the bone.

JIMMY
Rhona—are you getting this?

Rhona steadies her camera, eyes shining.

RHONA
Every second, cus!

Through the swirling mist, Anthony and Nessie continue their strange, beautiful dialogue—light and sound weaving together like an ancient spell.

Jimmy straightens, pride glowing through his chattering teeth.

JIMMY
(soft, awed)
I did it… I actually did it.
I turned the impossible… into a greeting.

The mist thickens, curling around the pair in the water like a curtain closing on a secret older than time.

FADE OUT.

CHAPTER 18

SCRIPT 18

The Viral Mystery – Jill Bird reports the disappearance on the BBC. The "Loch Ness Mystery" reaches a fever pitch, but the "debunker’s" disappearance only serves to make the Loch seem more dangerous and sacred.

PLOT OUTLINE:

 

Having enjoyed a wicked Christmas in Herstmonceux, Jimmy's mum, Marion and dad, Tim, decide to take a Scottish vacation to visit Marion's cousin, near Loch Ness. A road trip in her trusty Volkswagen Kombi Camper van. They set off just after Boxing Day, to arrive before New Year's Eve, for a reunion, having fitted winter tyres and installed a heater in the VW. They make it up the M1 to Edinburgh, and M90 to Inverness, then back down to Drumnadrochit. Where 'Rhona MacLeod' lives alongside Loch Ness. 

 

Anthony, travels on the roof-rack, using his cloak of invisibility to remain undetected. The trip is uneventful, the VW performing well, even in a snowy blizzard, that soon clears near the famous Loch. It turns out that Rhona is a scientist. She has been studying the Loch for signs of the Monster of legend. Once reunited and settled in, Rohna tells that she has photographed the elusive monster, but nobody believes her. A famous debunker, 'Angus Campbell', discredits Rhona publicly. Calling her crazy, to even think such a legend could have any roots in reality. Anthony, the Magic Dinobot, who is not supposed to be on this trip, spots the monster in the Loch through a mist, with his incredible AI sensors, telling Jimmy, secretly. Jimmy keeps this to himself. Marion and Tim support Rhona in principle, but are somewhat skeptical. Although, they love the idea of the legend, having been brought up on the story. Then Marion realised that Anthony has been a passenger, and scolds Jimmy. Then forgives him, when Jimmy reveals that the dinobot has seen the monster. 

 

Tim does not believe the dinobot, but when out on the banks of the Loch, in the mist, the monster reveals itself to Antony, attempting to communicate with the AI robot, and they kind of speak to each other, the dinobot deciphering the monsters grunts and songs. Marion, Tim and Jimmy see this, and are spellbound, but know nobody will believe them. So, agree to keep it a secret.

 

Then, an investigative reporter, Charley Temple, visits to report on the sighting, for Jill Bird, at the BBC World News. There is enough evidence to keep the legend alive, and Charley, a fan of Jimmy from when he won a coding prize for his work on AI, tends to believe him and Rhona, keeping the legend alive. Charley spots the dinobot when creeping around at night, but decides to keep this to herself, to protect Jimmy and Rhona. Then, Angus Campbell's boat is found out on the Loch, with claw marks, and harpoons onboard, but no Angus. His body is never found. This is reported on by Jill Bird at the BBC and it goes viral, the mystery remaining a mystery. The family return home safely, vowing to keep their encounter with the monster a secret.
