First, I noticed some technical errors you think you should fix in the script. When presenting new characters, you want to put them in all caps. For example, MAT: 26 is alone and scared in the warehouse and doesn't trust the machinery. Or something like that. After establishing a character, you only need to capitalize them again if there is a significant time jump, which you do not use. Also, you want to put sounds in all caps too. Please ensure...

This is a good story that very few would be able to understand or visualize from this script.

This script is truly interesting and engaging to the reader. It iss structure is very well done. It is exposition heavy which makes it a little tedious to read but nonetheless it is very well done. Even with the little dialouge I was able to understand what the bears were doing in the story itself. With that I think you could describe the environment more, like the factory and the hospital.

The storyline is quite intriguing and unique. I woul...
