Question: Build a movie plot around this: What was obliterated by a gigantic implosion? Kronos
Answer:
A huge, blinking flying saucer from deep space emits a glowing object, which races to Earth. It intercepts a man who's driving his car down an isolated road. The object takes over the man's body and directs it to LabCentral, a U. S. research facility that's been tracking the saucer, thinking it was an asteroid.The man's possessed body forces its way into the lab and the entity inside takes control of the chief scientist. The possessed scientist directs three nuclear missiles to be fired at the saucer. Everyone is shocked when the explosion fails to destroy the object. The saucer crashes into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Mexico. Impatient with the delay in getting a formal expedition to the crash scene, two of the lab's scientists (one with his photographer girlfriend in tow) head down to Mexico. After their arrival, they see the saucer appear on the ocean's surface. Terrified, they flee back to their lodging for the night.The next morning, both scientists and the girlfriend see a large, stories-tall machine that has appeared on the beach. Its four-legged body features two mobile antennae that resemble the terminals of a capacitor. They use a small helicopter to land atop the strange machine, glimpsing its inner workings before being forced to leave.Under the direction of the possessed lab scientist, who now has lists of power stations and atom-bomb arsenals around the world, the large machine, which has since been named Kronos, methodically attacks power plants in Mexico, draining their energy entirely. In doing so Kronos grows larger with every energy-absorption episode, consuming more and more power as it moves, unhindered, from one power source to the next. Four Mexican Air Force fighter jets attack Kronos, but the growing alien machine easily destroys them and continues on its energy-draining rampage.In a lucid, unpossessed, moment the scientist tells his returned colleagues that Kronos is an energy accumulator, sent by an alien race that has exhausted its own natural resources; they have sent...
