Charley temple and John Storm - comfort the wounded  Sectasaur V1 script

Antarctica is melting at an accelerated pace, ironic that the burning of fossil fuels, is revealing prehistoric life forms that were safely frozen in time. But now are being freed, to continue where they left off, to become the dominant species on earth. As a warlike race, that is how humans tend to view any life-form that threatens their plundering of the planet.

In this (fictional) John Storm 'Monster' (horror) adventure, the ocean adventurer wears his Paleo Anthropologist hat somewhat askew, extending it a little further to encompass paleontology and a fossilized specimen. A prehistoric insect, resembling a giant vespoid, or ponerine (ant). John is near obsessed with his DNA collection called 'The Ark,' that is safely stored onboard his trusty ship, the Elizabeth Swann. Providing a very handy database, for scientific research.

His DNA enhancements give John a unique advantage in hostile environments, Storm is able to endure cold climates, as a virtual super-human, thanks to some clever German and Swiss scientists.

Our hero is possessed of a super-nano-computer called CyberCore Genetica™ which, when coupled with Hal, the Elizabeth Swann's onboard AI, allows John to recreate virtually any species of flora or fauna. Including splicing and DNA enhancement. All he needs is a DNA sample. And that is what three teams of scientist are hoping to make off with, at any cost, pitting China against Sweden and a Multi-National group. A window of opportunity for the unscrupulous, only made possible by the melting ice at the South Pole.

Developmental inspiration for this story was the original ant movie, Them, from 1954, the 1979 Alien film, the 1933 & 2005 King Kong movies, and the Japanese Godzilla series, with the 1993 Jurassic Park and Jurassic World series, demonstrating that a well made sci-fi monster romp is not only entertaining for audiences, but also profitable for studios. In the Antarctic, nobody can hear you scream!

Scientists discover a giant prehistoric insect in an Antarctic ice cave: present day. 

300 times the largest insect today. It puts the 'Ant' - in - 'Antarctic'
