Welcome everyone!
First thing:
Yes! You can guess / feel it well! We are very close to the end of the season planning - Reduce 3. Well, it took longer than we expected... over a year! A year and three months to be exact. A lot of time... Anyway, thank you all for your help and participation in this great project! I hope we can get new members and that none of the existing ones will leave. Well, we are going to do Reduce 2: Pass of Time - Part II first - I think it may take 6-7 months. After that, Reduce 3... well, this season could take... even 4 years to finish. Yes, I know it's a long time, but this season is 300% wider / bigger in every way! I know hard times are ahead for everyone and we don't know what the future holds... a lot can change. Well I hope it has better! Good luck folks!
ATTENTION!!! - Remember that the Mejson monologue has already been checked and recorded, so do not accidentally waste time reconsidering these dialogues.
Main thing:
Okay, now news. This Poster is about Credits and the extra goodies associated with it, as well as things later. I wonder how you will like the last "breath" of Reduce 3. That's all we are planning for this season. Well, I invite you to read. As always, we are guided by subtlety and discretion in presenting the plot, so as always - not everything is clear and understandable. Happy reading!
Extra thing:
Finally, I would like to add that I know from a direct source that @Cyberdevil is in the process of creating a great work, namely the recording of the vocals to the song: Ripples on the Ground - ChordC by our also excellent artist @ChordC, to who I always owe great sounds, and above all music for animation! We are waiting with bated breath for the new works and the aforementioned, which will be used in the Main Menu - Reduce 3! Thank you very much! Ehem, well shit... I still haven't found time to listen to all your new @Cyberdevil creations. Starting tomorrow, I start listening and judging!
What do you think about it, @Cyberdevil, @AzureDragoonGX, @ChordC, @MariogD, @SayMeBott, @Colizza, @XavierDalton, @MATRVG?

Action:
1. Credits start with a white (large) text (in the center) of the screen appearing on a black background: "To be continued...". After a while, the white text disappears (same as it appeared), then the black background disappears, and underneath is:
2. As in the photo presented above. On the left side there is a black background which is intended for the credits (they move (appear) from the bottom up at the optimal pace).
3. In the middle there is a bar (with a certain width), which has a transparency of 100% to 0% (black background) - it's such a smooth transition.
4. On the right side there is an animation (where something is happening), but that will be below - it will not be too long and certainly shorter than the subtitles (on the left), so after the animation ends - a black background appears in this place (transparency from 0% to 100%), and the subtitles themselves move (to center) and it a bit magnify.
5. Below is a standard (narrow bar) for displaying dialogues - in this case it is a display of the words of Mejson's monologue, which lasts exactly as long as the animation (ends with the animation).
6. End credits - subtitles (all content):

7. End credits - Mejson's monologue (all content):
"This isn't over"
<pause>
"Not even close..."
<pause>
"We lost many people"
<pause>
"We don't know how it will end"
<pause>
"But we survived..."
<pause>
"We're cured and ready"
<pause>
"We've been given a chance"
<pause>
"We will press forward"
<pause>
"We will never give up"
<pause>
"And remember..."
<pause>
"If you can fight, then fight"
<pause>
"Help each other"
<pause>
"Be prepared for anything"
<pause>
"Our war has just begun..."
8. End credits - animation (all content): After the inscription (in the middle) disappears in silence: "To be continued...", the subtitles (on the left) and the animation (on the right) appear as described above. Also at this point the music starts playing: Ripples on the Ground - ChordC (it plays a bit quieter because we don't want it to drown out Mejson's monologue). And the aforementioned monologue begins.
9. The first lightening (transparency from 100% black bg to 0%) and first small part of animation. Mejson is sitting on a stone (by the campfire), takes the knife out of the sheath on his forearm (it's a bit dirty) and rubs it with a piece of a leaf, and then hides it in the same place - we don't show his head (strong zoom). It lasts 3s. and during this time two parts of Mejson's monologue are heard: "This isn't over", 1s. pause, "Not even close...".
10. Blackout momentarily (1s.) - 0% > 100% > 0%. Next - second small part of animation. The hero is to the right of the workbench - next to a pile of stones and wood. MariogD (kneeling) holds a quiver with one hand (leaning it on the ground), and with the other hand he puts arrows (of various types) into it, which are lying next to MariogD - we do not show his head (strong zoom). It lasts 4s. and during this time two parts of Mejson's monologue are heard: "We lost many people", 1s. pause, "We don't know how it will end".
11. Blackout momentarily (1s.) - 0% > 100% > 0%. Next - third small part of animation. Delsin stands in the middle of the Dome (inside). He is going to reload his weapon (Spear Gun). He pulls a bullet (short spear) from the big quiver on his back, then crouches down and holds the Spear Gun on the ground (with the other hand). Then he puts this ammo into the weapon and then pulls the lever with the same hand (for reloading). The ammo is drawn deeper with a metallic sound. We don't show his head all the time (strong zoom). It lasts 3s. and during this time two parts of Mejson's monologue are heard: "But we survived...", 1s. pause, "We're cured and ready".
12. Blackout momentarily (1s.) - 0% > 100% > 0%. Next - fourth small part of animation. Bott* is standing behind the workbench (front to viewer), and in front of it (on the table) there is a box (open from the top), and next to the right a lot of different wooden jars, alchemy ingredients and herbs. Bott* puts these different jars in the box (packs up). He pauses for a moment (he is probably watching one of them) and next he continues. We don't show the hero's face here either (strong zoom). It lasts 4s. and during this time two parts of Mejson's monologue are heard: "We've been given a chance", 1s. pause, "We will press forward".
13. Blackout momentarily (1s.) - 0% > 100% > 0%. Next - fifth small part of animation. Mr. Mate stands (comfortably) with his back against the flowerpot (to the right of the Dome) - facing left. The hero holds his knife in one hand, and a specific piece of stone in the other - uses it to sharpen the knife. This produces a specific sound (sharping the knife). Mr. Mate pauses for a moment - as if listening to a monologue. We don't show his head (strong zoom). It lasts 3s. and during this time two parts of Mejson's monologue are heard: "We will never give up", 1s. pause, "And remember...".
14. Blackout momentarily (1s.) - 0% > 100% > 0%. Next - sixth small part of animation. You can see 3 heroes moving in a group (they are going to the left) - you can see them from the waist down (strong zoom). They are: Mejson, Delsin and Mr. Mate (they moving at an irregular distance and at an irregular height). Their location is: to the left of the campfire (close). It lasts 4s. and during this time two parts of Mejson's monologue are heard: "If you can fight, then fight", 1s. pause, "Help each other".
15. Blackout momentarily (1s.) - 0% > 100% > 0%. Next - seventh small part of animation. Location: empty space between the campfire and the workbench. First you can see from the waist up (front - strong close-up) from the left: MariogD, Mejson and Delsin. Mejson has his hands on his hips. MariogD and Delsin look at their weapons in their hands (MariogD is holding the bow with his right hand and Delsin is holding his weapon with both hands).
16. Then Mejson looks seriously (knowingly) at MariogD (turns his head to the left). MariogD glares back and they fist-bump together. Then MariogD is already looking ahead. Mejson looks (right) seriously (knowingly) at Delsin, who turns his head to left and looks at Mejson. They both nod at each other. Then Delsin looks ahead. Mejson pats him on the shoulder, then Mejson looks straight ahead.
17. The camera goes to down and there are Bott* and Mr. Mate (crouched) facing each other (they are not close to the previous characters, but closer to the viewer). They both look around suspiciously. For unknown reasons, Bott* has his box on his shoulder, and Mr. Mate is holding a knife. Suddenly they look straight ahead (to the viewer). The camera zooms out a bit, almost simultaneously - an ant runs up from the left side, Candy is in it mandible.
18. And on the right, a spider runs up (it's already quite big and it's black) with a Cyber sitting on it head. The characters look at each other and smile knowingly, and then they look at the viewer (they turn their heads). It lasts 7-10s. and during this time two parts of Mejson's monologue are heard: "Be prepared for anything", 1s. pause, "Our war has just begun...". Blackout.
19. Next, as I wrote above, then the subtitles move to the center (and enlarge a little) and the music gets louder. Subtitles continue for the next 2 minutes. Next, there will be no photos of the characters - as usual, because they were already in Scene 18 (in a slightly different form, but they were). Then the inscriptions in the center are displayed: "End of season three… See you in Reduce 4!".
20. After a while, the subtitles disappear and after a while also a black background. Underneath is a hidden scene is promised! Dark room - practically no light. Disturbing music begins. This is some security room or something. The light is only generated by many screens (monitors) that are located almost the entire wall (two or three rows of screens).
21. The screens are flickering with blue light and the viewer cannot see what is on them (they are too far). Below the screens there is a long desk on which it is located from the left: some chaotic pile of papers and notes, a (computer) keyboard, a coffee mug (under the mug many traces of 'circles' reflected through the bottom from the mug), a stand for felt-tip pens (pencils and pens), landline telephone (as used in the past).
22. In front of the desk there is a comfortable swivel armchair with a backrest. And above this backrest you can see a piece of someone's head - someone is sitting in this armchair. Suddenly Havoc says (pleased): "Yes! Dance my puppets!". After a while he scratches his head and says (admiringly): "Only two dead bodies".
23. Then he lowers his hand and continues (disappointed): "They have adapted quickly...". Suddenly the phone rings. Havoc rides to the right on the chair (with a sound of chair circles) to reach the phone. On the desk - where he was sitting, you can also see various notes. He then picks up the receiver and starts conversation with the standard words (interested): "Hello?".
24. A pause later Havoc shudders in delight and continues (delighted): "Ahhh, well isn't it my connoisseurs of sharp sensations!". And after a while he continues (intrigued): "Yes, the money has already arrived - ten million". A pause later Havoc reacts (concerned): "What?". And after another moment later he continues (concerned): "I understand...".
25. Then he slowly hangs up the phone, slowly gets up from the armchair, still staring at the phone with a surprised expression. After a moment of silence, he regains his balance, straightens up and smiles at himself. And then he says to himself (amused): "Appetite comes with eating...". And then he looks with one eye at the viewer for a moment (does not turn his head).
26. And makes a malicious face, next he looks back at the phone and says to himself (firmly): "With pleasure! I will step up my show!". After a while, he quickly leaves the room (goes right). Blackout. The disturbing music slowly fades away. White text in the center of the screen appears: "Thank you for watching". After a while, it disappears and the animation is over.
