Welcome everyone!

First thing:

First, I would like to thank you for your efforts - futured and past. We did something amazing together! There is nothing greater than creating a great projects together! Thank you all for a great dub! You are the best, mates! Related to Poster - I would like to especially thank @AzureDragoonGX for planning and recording this great monologue, which is amazing! Way to go! Great job! You are the only person who is with me from the very beginning! It's an honor! Sometimes I wonder what they would say: denis29, Observador, Crazy27... they didn't even see their characters' actions and their unpleasant deaths... well, it's a pity that we loose them. Maybe someday they will come back.

ATTENTION!!! - Remember that the Delsin monologue has already been checked and recorded, so do not accidentally waste time reconsidering these dialogues.

Main thing:

Okay, okay, was sweetened :P Let's move on to the next point of the program. Well yes! Managed to! This is the last scene - Scene 18 of our season 3 planning of our beloved Saga - Reduce! Long live Reduce 3! According to @MariogD, this is a kind of summary, although I admit that it was more of my brother's idea than mine. Praise him for that! It's an interesting idea! It's quite a calm and nostalgic scene, so connoisseurs of pure violence won't be thrilled. XD However, such a summary and tribute is absolutely necessary. Great job man!

Extra thing:

Finally, ummm, I mean in our last point I would like to mention two interesting things. Our wonderful friend @Cyberdevil ended his participation in the October madness - a song creation contest for each day of the month! You should definitely listen! Well, I know I have arrears myself, but I will try to catch up in (the coming days). Our artist has very high marks for these works! And in particular, you can distinguish those that deserve a medal - Frontpaged!

Here they are:

The second piece of information concerns Reduce 3, namely the fact that this is not the last Poster of planning for Reduce 3, as the next Poster will be about the ending itself - Credits. There will also be something interesting here: the screen split into two parts - apart from the end credits (on the left), there will also be an animation (on the right) framed with Mejson's charismatic monologue. In addition, after the end credits, there will be an extra scene... but for now I will not reveal the details :P

What do you think about it, @Cyberdevil, @AzureDragoonGX, @ChordC, @MariogD, @SayMeBott, @Colizza, @XavierDalton, @MATRVG?

Scene 18 - Reminiscence

Inscription (on black background):

Episode 18

Day 50

(~3 days later)

3:34 PM

Action:

1. The camera moves from left to right slowly - in front of the Dome (does not show inside as usual), and after a while it shows the flowerpot. Then the camera zooms in on the flowerpot, which in the meantime becomes transparent - a passage to the place behind the flowerpot. The camera moves from right to left showing the things there.

2. On the right there is a Diablo tomb - a pile of stones (of various sizes) that is arranged in such a way as to properly cover the body there. The tomb is placed facing the viewer, as is the wooden cross with the inscription - 'Diablo'. Right next to it - on the left side there is a similar grave, and on the cross there is an engraved inscription - 'NN'.

3. From Latin 'Nomen Nescio' for an unknown person for the person from the cocoon. To the left of this unfortunate man, there is another place for another body - on both sides there are two smaller piles of stones (two that would later create one pile of stones), and the cross is leaning against one of these piles (the name is not visible).

4. The camera still keeps moving (slowly) to the left. A few meters away there are chests (supplies), stones and boards (for graves). Cyber is leaning against the crates - with folded arms he looks seriously (a bit worried and a bit pensive) at the graves. The camera stops at this hero. After a while, the camera zooms out a bit and Cyber lowers his arms and turns his head.

5. He looks to the left when Mr. Mate and Bott* carry the tightly bandaged (whole) body in leaves (Sternberg's Chlorophytum comosum - has long leaves) on a wooden (makeshift) stretcher. You can't see who he is. The camera follows the heroes (walking to the right) carrying the body. Cyber "follows" them with his eyes in silence.

6. Suddenly Candy runs by (closer to the viewer) with a serious expression. Bott* and Mr. Mate reach the graves and put the stretcher on the ground (in front of the empty grave) and position themselves (so as not to obstruct others) - Bott* on the left, and Mr. Mate goes right. Between them (slightly below) stand with their backs (to the viewer).

7. From the left they stand: Candy, MariogD, Mejson and Delsin. The camera focuses on these characters (from the waist up) - brings them closer and starts to show them from the left. When the camera shows MariogD and Candy - MariogD turns his head to the left with a sad (understanding / knowing) expression to Candy.

8. And MariogD puts his hand on the kid's shoulder. Candy turns his head (sad) towards MariogD, and there is a tear in his eye that runs down his cheek after a while. The camera shows Mejson, then Delsin, and stops. After a while, the camera zooms out and shows the heroes from the waist up: MariogD, Mejson, Delsin and Mr. Mate (standing sideways - higher).

9. Mejson <deeply sighs> as his upper body rises slightly and falls. And next a while of silence. Mejson says (tired): "Well... I'm not very good at speaking at funerals... especially since I didn't know Bill very well... what good can I say about him?". At these words MariogD looks at Mejson sadly (for a moment).

10. Mr. Mate has a slightly sad expression on his face (although more indifferent) and also looks at Mejson (for a longer moment). Mejson pauses here as he raises his right hand and scratches his head. Delsin turns his head to the left (for a moment) and looks at Mejson in surprise - he squint one's eyes.

11. Only Delsin is still under the illusion that Bill was not a complete asshole. Then Delsin looks straight ahead again. After a moment Mejson lowers his hand and says (tired): "He was one of us...". And after a moment of silence he continues (tired): "That's all I can say…". MariogD looks seriously (to the right) at Mejson and <grunts>.

12. MariogD is a bit dissatisfied, although it's true about Bill. After that Mejson looks slightly frosty eyes sideways (to MariogD) - to the left he says (tired): "Does anyone want to add something?". MariogD (in reaction) raises his eyebrows looking into Mejson's eyes for a second, then lowers his eyes - he looks at Mejson's legs (he's embarrassed).

13. Nobody reacted to these words - nobody has anything to say. Then Mejson turns his head towards Delsin and says (curious): "Delsin! Maybe you?". MariogD looks at Mejson, finished positively - he raises his eyebrows. Mr. Mate looks at Mejson intrigued. Delsin flinches in surprise, then turns to Mejson, eyebrow raised.

14. However, he says nothing. Mejson, on the other hand, smiles slightly at him. And next Mejson says (a bit maliciously): "Well? You thought I lost faith in you?" to Delsin. MariogD smiles slightly after a while and puts his hand on Mejson's shoulder. Mejson turns to MariogD for a moment (to the left) and looks at him kindly.

15. Meanwhile, Mr. Mate raises his eyebrows in surprise (for a short moment) looking at Mejson. He then squint one's eyes and angrily lowers his eyebrows, staring at Mejson, then at Delsin (his eyes moving from one to the other). After a while, Delsin's expression returns to normal. And then he nods his head.

16. And then without a word he goes to the center (in front of the standing people) and faces them. Everyone is looking at Delsin. Meanwhile, Mejson says to himself (optimistically): "Everyone deserves a second chance". When Delsin walks, the camera starts zooming in on him (not too fast). Delsin looks around at his companions for a moment.

17. Then looks down and looks around the ground (as if he was wondering about something). Delsin begins a monologue (speech), and when he says it, he looks at his colleagues. Delsin says (charismatically): "Tragedy has dogged every step of our adventure for survival". After these words, the camera slowly starts switching to MariogD.

18. And Delsin continues (charismatically): "It has sicced terrible creatures upon us...". This has not been mentioned before, but MariogD has a (bandaged) hand on the arm sling. From the back, you can only see the wide makeshift (strong) harness that holds the arm sling. The camera does not stop for a moment and continues to move slowly - to Mejson.

19. Delsin continues (charismatically): "Brought out the creatures inside ourselves". Unexpectedly, Candy (on the left) runs in front of MariogD and knock him a bit (accosts). MariogD shudders and turns (whole body) to the right with an angry expression. Then you can see his arm sling (sideways to the viewer). Candy ran to Mejson and cuddled up to him.

20. The kid has tears in his eyes. Mejson shudders in surprise (for a moment), then turns his head (to the left) and, looking at Candy indulgently (thoughtfully), puts his arm around him (still with his back to the viewer). Delsin continues (charismatically): "Put us at odds on a fundamental level, forcing us to create dividing lines".

21. Delsin talks all the time and does not stop). After these words, the camera slowly zooms out (showing all the heroes), then goes up and the entire screen turns white at the same time (transparency from 0% to 100%). In the meantime Delsin continues (charismatically): "Taken many of our lives. Mejson informed me that before our teams merged, there were already losses...".

22. After these words, the white screen disappears (transparency from 100% to 0%) and underneath are character pictures when Delsin says (charismatically): "Jimmy... Jason..." about them. Photo transitions are also made transparency (the displayed image disappears and the next one is underneath).

23. And the spoken sentences are displayed in the animation window, not on the black bar - under the animation window (as always). Next when Delsin says (charismatically): "I cannot sing of their praises, having never met them, but I take it they fought like lions for most of our sakes. That does deserve mentioning".

24. Photos of these heroes are shown (alternating one hero with another) - from happy to sad moments (their lives), until at the end photos of their deaths are shown (probably between 6 and 10 photos all). Next there is a special photo (black-white). Jimmy and Jason are standing together front (from waist up) against the grass background.

25. Jimmy is holding his wooden cane and Jason hugs him (with one hand) a bit maliciously by the neck (a bit as if he squeezed him too tight), and the other holds his favorite knife. Jimmy looks tired and has a barely visible smile on his face (he has his head tilted). Jason smiles hard (with those spooky teeth of his).

26. The above image displays until Delsin finishes the sentence - Delsin says (charismatically): "And then there are those that have joined them soon after". Then 1-2 screens (normal) from Rowny are shown when Delsin says (charismatically): "Rowny, who held Zip's anchor". Next a few (how many will fit) Steve screens are shown when Delsin says (charismatically): "Steve, who used his strength to make us all stronger".

27. Then a few (how many will fit) screens from God-DL and Conrad (alternately) are shown, when Delsin says (charismatically): "God-DL. Conrad - They both filled gaps in our strategy we won't soon fill back up Diablo, who could always put us back on track". Next a few (how many will fit) scenes from Bill are shown, when Delsin says (charismatically): "And- <sigh> Bill, where nothing stood in the way of the mission".

28. Then when Delsin says (charismatically): "When push came to shove, they too stared death in the face for our survival, as we did for them" a black and white special photo is shown with: Rowny, God-DL and Conrad (posing together - I'll come up with which later). Then when Delsin says (charismatically): "Their only mistake, through no fault of their own, was chance. With their deaths, they've tortured the rest" a black and white special photo of Steve, Diablo and Bill (posing together - I'll come up with which later).

29. Then the screen turns white for a moment (transparency) and when it disappears you see Delsin (back to Scene) - the camera is focused on Delsin and from the following words of the monologue the camera slowly zooms in on Delsin's face (until with the last words a bust of Delsin fills the entire screen).

30. Delsin continues (charismatically): "And it only seems to be the beginning...". Then Delsin begins to speak more and more intensely, starting with the words (firmly): "But we owe it to Bill. We owe it to all who have fallen".

31. Delsin makes an angry face (lowering his eyebrows) and looking around firmly at the crowd he says (intensely): "We must weather this storm and slice off the head of the snake. We conquered this latest mountain - we're ready to annihilate the next". After a short while, a blackout follows.

32. And then Bott* says (charismatically): "Apes together strong!". And these words are displayed in white text in the center of the screen with the footnote ~Bott* (smaller letters below and on the right).

Light effect:

Normal (midday).
