Part 1 (Walking on flatlands and then reaching the base of the hill)[edit]

- +851:00 [New scene: ground.]
- +852:00 [Megan and Cueball walking with bags.]
- +858:00 [Cueball pauses and Megan looks back at him.]
- +864:00 [Still walking.]
- Cueball: Have you ever been this far?
- Megan: Not this way.
- +867:00 [Megan and Cueball stop and have a drink from flasks in their bags.]
- +870:00 [Megan continues walking.]
- +871:00 [Cueball continues walking.]
- +875:00 [They stop, sit and eat. The perspective changes showing they're in a landscape similar to time +0:00.]
- +879:00 (frame 1000) [Megan reclines.]
- +880:00 [They prepare to continue.]
- +881:00 [They continue walking. The perspective returns to "parallel to the beach".]
- +883:00 [Still walking.]
- Megan: Maybe the sea doesn't end.
- +884:00
- Cueball: We haven't walked very far.
- +885:00
- Megan: Yeah.
- Megan: But that's what the first part of not ending looks like.
- +897:00 [Still walking.]
- Megan: If we don't find something today, we'll have to start using the steam bottle.
- Cueball: Ugh!
- +902:00 [They stop, having come to another body of water.]
- +903:00
- Megan: Yes.
- Cueball: Yes what?
- +904:00 [The scene zooms out briefly, showing the opposite shore.]
- Megan: There are other rivers.
- +908:00 [Cueball, having sat on the bank to drink, falls into the river when the bank beneath him crumbles. Megan manages to grab him and pull him back to dry land, but he loses his water bottle in the process.]
- +914:00 [Megan pulls out a lasso. She and Cueball both use it to try and grab the bottle. They fail.]
- +920:00
- Cueball: The river isn't moving that fast. Maybe I could-
- Megan: Too dangerous.
- Cueball: Yeah.
- +921:00
- Megan: It's ok. It was an accident.
- +923:00 [The bottle slips below the surface.]
- Megan: You're right, though.
- Cueball: About what?
- +924:00
- Megan: The river's not moving very fast.
- +928:00
- Megan: It can't be flowing much faster than we walk.
- Megan: Even if it's as deep as it is wide, I don't think it's enough water.
- +929:00
- Cueball: Yeah
- +931:00
- Cueball: And this river doesn't look broken.
- Megan: Yeah.
- +932:00
- Cueball: It's pretty neat, though.
- Megan: Yeah.
- +935:00 [Cueball grabs Megan's hand and gently pulls her back from the edge.]
- +937:00
- Cueball: Sorry.
- Megan: No, right. Forgot.
- +941:00 [Megan exits. Cueball begins digging into the ground.]
- +943:00 [Cueball fills in the hole he created.]
- +945:00 [Megan is back after checking the sea level.]
- Megan: It's still rising.
- +946:00
- Cueball: It's strange - Rivers flow to meet the sea - Maybe the sea couldn't wait.
- +948:00
- Megan: Walk upriver to find a ford, or turn back?
- +950:00
- Cueball: We can't go back. We don't understand everything yet.
- +951:00
- Megan: "Everything" is a little ambitious. We barely understand anything.
- Cueball: Yeah.
- +952:00
- Cueball: But that's what the first part of understanding everything looks like.
- +972:00
- Cueball: If nothing else, I'm glad we found this river. It's not much farther from home than ours at its driest.
- +975:00
- Megan: Oh. This river is even bigger than it looked.
- +976:00 [The scene zooms out to show the opposite bank again. It continues to zoom out slowly, revealing that the "opposite bank" is actually just an island in the much, much larger river. Cueball and Megan continue to walk away from the viewer.]
- +990:00 [Megan and Cueball finally pass the end of the island. The scene zooms out even farther once more to show the far bank.]
- +1001:00 [The scene returns to original zoom, with Megan and Cueball looking out over the river.]
- +1002:00
- Megan: Maybe it is big enough to fill the sea.
- +1003:00 [The two rest for a while. Cueball fills a bottle with river water. They both drink. Cueball lays down and naps.]
- +1009:00
- Cueball (talking in his sleep): Our rope isn't strong enough.
- +1010:00
- Megan: What?
- Cueball (talking in his sleep): Hold this or you'll fall.
- +1012:00 [Megan pokes Cueball with a stick. He wakes up, groggily.]
- +1021:00
- Cueball: When our river gets too big, it fills with stuff.
- Wood and leaves and things from the people in the hills.
- +1022:00
- Cueball: This river doesn't look like that.
- +1023:00
- Megan: Maybe it only flows through empty places.
- +1025:00
- Megan: If this river isn't what's making the sea rise, we need to get past it.
- Either way, we continue upriver.
- +1038:00
- Megan: I wonder how high the water is now.
- +1039:00
- Cueball: I wonder if other people have noticed. It's been days.
- Megan: Not a lot of us by the shore this time of year.
- A few kids, maybe.
- +1040:00
- Megan: It'd have to rise a lot higher before any tents got wet.
- +1057:00
- Cueball: This river flows from bigger hills than ours.
- +1058:00
- Megan: If we don't reach a crossing soon, we'll be in them.
- +1060:00 [Megan and Cueball stand on the edge of a cliff and look down.]
- +1063:00
- Megan: I wonder if it's possible to swim in.
- +1091:00
- Megan: You OK?
- +1092:00
- Cueball: Just thinking.
- +1097:00
- Megan: Should we follow the river through there?
- Cueball: Hmm.
- +1098:00
- Cueball: Let's see if we can go over those and rejoin it further up.
- +1112:00
- Megan: It must get windier up here.
- +1129:00 [Megan takes a jump off the top of a hill while Cueball watches.]

Part 2 (Fun on dunes, some Berries, a frog, and the baobab trees)[edit]
| [Expand]
|
- +1140:00
- Cueball: OOF.
- Megan: These are bigger than they looked.
- +1144:00 [Megan tries another jump, but lands hard, in a heap.]
- +1155:00 [A bird appears in the sky, flying towards them. Megan and Cueball stop and watch it for the next few frames before it disappears behind them.]
- +1193:00 [Grass appears.]
- +1198:00 [The first small tree appears.]
- +1216:00 [They come to a bigger tree, taller than them.]
- +1218:00
- Megan: Neat.
- +1220:00 [Megan yawns audibly.]
- +1221:00 [Cueball sits beneath the tree.]
- +1222:00
- Megan: The river isn't much farther...
- +1223:00 [Cueball leans against the tree. Megan gives in and joins him, laying with her head on her pack. Cueball switches to laying on his pack, as well.]
- +1257:00
- Cueball: Berries?
- Megan: Ooh, Thanks!
- +1259:00
- Cueball: There are people here.
- Or were.
- I found some sort of campsite.
- +1260:00
- Megan: Recent?
- Cueball: Looked like it'd been empty for a while.
- +1262:00
- Megan: I'm thirsty. Let's get to the river.
- Cueball: Yeah.
- +1265:00
- Megan: They leave anything good behind?
- Cueball: Just some wood. Not enough to build a raft.
- +1286:00 [Again at the river.]
- Cueball: This place is beautiful.
- Megan: Yeah.
- +1287:00
- Megan: I am surprised we haven't been seen by any people yet.
- +1288:00
- Megan: If it's this empty, we should live here.
- +1291:00
- Cueball: Did you notice the sea tasting better?
- Megan: ...No?
- +1292:00
- Megan: I don't know.
- I try not to taste seawater.
- Why?
- +1293:00
- Cueball: I was thinking.
- If a river is putting too much water in the sea, the sea should get fresher.
- +1294:00
- Cueball: I tasted the water back before we left.
- Megan: Ugh. And?
- Cueball: I thought it was a little fresher, but maybe it was just me.
- +1295:00
- Megan: Probably. I mean, how high was the sea then?
- The extra water couldn't have been more than a tiny part of it.
- +1296:00
- Cueball: Yeah.
- +1298:00
- Cueball: Well, we may as well continue.
- Either we'll figure out the sea, or we'll keep finding beautiful places.
- +1299:00
- Megan: That sounds fun.
- +1313:00 [Megan is falling.]
- +1315:00
- Cueball: Are you OK?
- +1316:00
- Megan: I found a-
- +1317:00
- Frog: RIBBIT
- +1355:00
- Megan: Is this like the one you found?
- Cueball: Yeah.
- +1381:00 [After reaching the top of a hill.]
- Megan: WOW.
- +1382:00 [Two big trees appear behind that hill, more than ten times larger than the trees before. They walk down to the first one. Megan touches it.]
- +1392:00
- Cueball: There are markings on the trunk.
- Megan: Oh. Yeah.
- +1393:00
- Megan: I wonder what they mean.
- +1402:00 [They arrive at a tree with a strangely bent top.]
- +1404:00
- Megan: I wonder if it's supposed to be like that.
- +1405:00
- Cueball: It's a pretty big tree.
- It probably knows what it's doing.
- +1436:00 [Megan and Cueball have come to a vineyard. Cueball holds up some grapes.]
- Cueball: Do you think it's ok to take some?
- +1437:00
- Megan: Yeah.
- It doesn't look like anyone's been here for a while.
- +1438:00 [They eat.]
- +1458:00 [They come to and walk past a table or bench.]
- +1463:00 [They come to a wooden structure that might be the remains of a tipi.]
- +1468:00
- Cueball: This looks like the stuff that floats down our river.
- +1469:00
- Cueball: I wonder if these people are related to the people in the hills.
- Megan: Maybe.
- +1471:00
- Megan: But the markings on that tree didn't look familiar.
- Cueball: Yeah.
- +1473:00
- Megan: We could cross the river now.
- We've found more than enough wood for a raft.
- +1474:00
- Cueball: Yeah.
- +1477:00
- Cueball: We're almost in the mountains.
- +1479:00
- Cueball: We walked along the sea for days and we didn't learn anything.
- Up here we're learning lots.
- +1480:00
- Megan: We haven't learned why the sea rose.
- Cueball: Maybe we were never going to.
- +1481:00
- Cueball: There's food and water here.
- I don't want to go all the way back down, walk along the sea for a few more days, then have to turn around.
- +1482:00
- Cueball: Maybe the sea is too big for us to understand.
- We can't answer every question.
- +1483:00
- Megan: No, but I think we can answer any question.
- +1484:00
- Megan: Still, I agree. No need to turn around yet.
- Cueball: Yeah.
- +1485:00
- Megan: And those mountains do look neat.
- Cueball: Yeah!
- +1487:00
- Megan: Before we go, we should stock up.
- Cueball: I'll get more water.
- +1496:00 [Megan sees a squirrel below a tree.]
- Megan: Hi!
- +1498:00 [Megan walks towards the squirrel. It climbs up the tree.]
- +1499:00 [Megan stops.]
- +1500:00 [The squirrel comes back down.]
- +1501:00
- Megan: It's ok! I won't eat you.
- +1502:00 [Megan goes down and presents some food.]
- +1503:00 [Megan drops down some food to the ground and the squirrel seems to be still curious.]
- +1504:00
- Megan: Want some food?
- +1508:00 [The squirrel grabs the food and pulls it away from Megan. She gives up trying to pet it.]
- +1512:00 [Megan continues on to the vineyard. The squirrel climbs up again onto the tree, then comes back down as she leaves.]
- +1523:00 [Megan, picking grapes, exits left. The squirrel seems to be creeping in the grass behind her, very hard to see. As Megan returns, it leaves ahead of her and seems to go up the tree.]

Part 3 (A vineyard, a snake is on their way, and a bird is protecting its baby)[edit]
| [Expand]
|
- +1548:00
- Cueball: I wonder where the people who take care of these plants are.
- +1565:00 [They continue walking. Cueball raises his arms strangely.]
- +1566:00
- Megan: What are you doing?
- +1567:00
- Cueball: Making shapes with my shadow!
- +1568:00
- Megan: When I stare down at mine for long enough while I walk, it starts to look really weird.
- Cueball: Yeah.
- +1571:00
- Megan: Still, it's better than when we were following the sea,
- walking straight into the sun all morning.
- Cueball: Yeah.
- +1585:00 [Megan and Cueball reach a small ridge that Megan climbs first.]
- +1592:00
- Cueball: It's prettier right by the river, but it's easier to walk up here.
- Megan: Yeah.
- +1593:00
- Megan: Well, it all gets greener further up.
- +1608:00 [Megan and Cueball do reach another riff they have to climb on.]
- +1613:00 [Cueball climbs first.]
- +1618:00
- Cueball: Snake!
- +1618:00 [Cueball falls down.]
- +1621:00
- Megan: Are you ok?
- +1622:00
- Cueball: I think so-
- +1623:00
- Megan: Did it bite you?
- Cueball: No.
- +1624:00
- Megan: Could you see what kind it was?
- +1625:00
- Cueball: Brownish and shiny.
- Kind of blotchy.
- +1626:00
- Megan: Did it have little spikes over its eyes?
- Cueball: No, not one of those.
- +1627:00
- Cueball: It was weird.
- Stubby at both ends.
- Like it forgot to have a head and tail.
- +1628:00
- Megan: Hmm...
- +1629:00
- Megan: No idea.
- But let's go around. And watch your feet.
- Cueball: Ok.
- +1632:00 [They search for another location to climb the cliff.]
- +1637:00 [This time Megan climbs first.]
- Megan: No snakes.
- +1642:00 [They continue uphill. Megan starts looking back.]
- +1674:00
- Megan: I think I can almost see the sea from here.
- +1676:00
- Cueball: I don't know.
- It's hard to tell what's land and what's sky.
- Megan: Yeah.
- +1680:00 [They walk uphill again.]
- +1700:00
- Megan: It's cooler up here.
- +1705:00
- Cueball: Are you hearing quiet chirps?
- +1707:00
- Megan: No.
- Cueball: I don't hear it now either.
- +1709:00
- Megan: I heard chirps from the night sky once.
- +1710:00
- Megan: I was looking at the stars one night and I heard peeping.
- It was very quiet.
- Just a single chirp now and then.
- Cueball: Did you see anything?
- +1711:00
- Megan: I thought a few stars flicker. - Nothing else.
- Cueball: Hmm.
- +1716:00 [A sound in front of them: (Chirp).]
- +1717:00 [Again: (Chirp).]
- +1718:00
- Cueball: It's coming from up ahead.
- +1719:00 [Again: (Chirp).]
- +1723:00 [Megan and Cueball reach some trees.]
- Bird in nest: Chirp
- +1724:00
- Bird in nest: Chirp
- +1726:00
- Bird in nest: Chirp
- +1727:00
- Megan: Chirp
- Bird in nest: Chirp
- +1728:00
- Bird in nest: Chirp
- +1729:00
- Megan: Chirp
- +1731:00
- Megan: Why is it doing that?
- Bird in nest: Chirp
- Cueball: I don't know.
- +1732:00
- Bird in nest: Chirp
- +1733:00
- Megan: I guess it's angry that we're here.
- +1734:00
- Bird in nest: Chirp
- +1736:00 [A larger bird is flying towards the nest.]
- Bird in nest: Chirp
- +1738:00 [Still flying towards the nest.]
- Bird in nest: Chirp
- +1738:00 [The larger bird approaches the nest.]
- Bird in nest: Chirp
- +1741:00
- Megan: What's it doing?
- Cueball: I think it gave it something.
- +1742:00
- Megan: Oh! Food!
- I bet the loud one is a baby.
- The larger bird: Chirp
- +1743:00
- Both birds: Chirp
- +1744:00 [Cueball is shouting.]
- Cueball: Now they're both loud.
- +1745:00 [The sound of the birds gets louder.]
- +1746:00
- Megan: It's ok.
- We are not going to eat your baby.
- Cueball: I don't think it believes you.
- +1747:00
- Megan: That's ok. It's just protecting its baby.

Part 4 (Walking uphill, a large cliff, and some mysterious animals)[edit]
| [Expand]
|
- +1749:00 [Megan continues walking.]
- Megan: Hey-
- I think I see water up ahead.
- +1753:00
- Cueball: Don't worry!
- You're doing a good job.
- +1755:00 [Cueball follows Megan.]
- +1764:00 [Cueball is below a tree and Megan jumps down.]
- Megan: Hi!
- +1765:00 [Megan falls on Cueball.]
- +1767:00
- Megan: I found a tiny river.
- +1769:00
- Megan: You ok?
- Cueball: Yup!
- +1786:00 [Megan and Cueball sleep.]
- +1796:00 [Megan gets bit by a fly and wakes up.]
- Megan: Facebug!
- +1797:00 [Cueball is still sleeping.]
- Cueball: Mrrr gblghx
- +1805:00 [Megan wakes up Cueball.]
- Megan: Hey!
- +1806:00
- Megan: Come see what I found!
- +1807:00
- Megan: This river is flowing toward the big one, so I followed it to see if they connected.
- +1811:00 [They follow the small river.]
- Cueball: WOW.
- +1812:00 [Megan and Cueball are standing on top of a large cliff.]
- +1817:00 [Back at the small river.]
- Cueball: I guess the land goes up, but the river stays at the same level.
- +1818:00
- Megan: The river has been going up, too.
- But not as fast as the land.
- +1820:00
- Megan: Can water really wear away rock like this?
- +1821:00
- Cueball: I guess it can.
- +1823:00
- Megan: I can't imagine how long it must have taken.
- +1824:00
- Cueball: Yeah...
- +1829:00
- Cueball: A lot of these rocks are pretty crumbly.
- +1830:00
- Cueball: Even down there, between all the big rocks, the cliff walls look sandy.
- Water eats away sand pretty fast.
- +1832:00
- Megan: Yeah.
- +1836:00
- Megan: I wonder how deep it gets.
- +1837:00
- Cueball: Maybe it goes right through the mountain, and it's as deep as the mountain is tall.
- +1838:00
- Megan: It could be even deeper.
- We don't know how far down the water goes.
- +1839:00
- Cueball: Hmm.
- +1840:00
- Cueball: I guess it can't be much deeper than the surface of the sea.
- If it were, it wouldn't flow fast and cut into the ground.
- Megan: Oh. Yeah.
- +1841:00
- Megan: But then, a river couldn't cut all the way through a mountain, either.
- Because how would it get started?
- +1843:00
- Megan: I wonder what the top of a mountain is like?
- +1845:00
- Cueball: Let's find out.
- +1850:00 [Megan and Cueball walk back, grab their knapsacks and continue their explorations.]
- +1902:00 [They reach a rock which is hard to climb.]
- Cueball: It seems we've reached our journey's end.
- +1903:00
- Megan: Want to find an easier spot?
- Cueball: No, I can do it.
- Let me help you up first.
- +1912:00 [Megan and Cueball reach the top of the boulder while an unknown animal is watching them.]
- +1913:00 [Cueball points on that animal.]
- Cueball: Oh!
- +1916:00 [The animal reveals as hedgehog after it did cover its full body.]
- +1924:00 [Cueball touches the hedgehog.]
- Megan: Careful!
- Cueball: It's OK.
- +1927:00 [Cueball picks up the hedgehog.]
- Megan: Does it hurt?
- Cueball: It's a little prickly.
- +1928:00
- Megan: Careful, it might bite.
- Cueball: Have you seen one before?
- Megan: Never this close.
- +1929:00
- Megan: It's really neat.
- Cueball: Yeah.
- +1930:00
- Cueball: Ok, we'll stop bothering you.
- +1931:00 [Cueball puts the hedgehog back to the ground and both continue their journey.]
- +1976:00
- Cueball: You OK?
- +1977:00
- Megan: Yup!
- +1979:00
- Cueball: Maybe it's time to turn around.
- +1980:00
- Cueball: The world is too big.
- It can go on longer than we can.
- +1981:00
- Megan: I'm still going.
- +1982:00
- Cueball: But one day we won't be. And we're a long way from home.
- +1984:00
- Cueball: Earlier, I thought you wanted to turn around and go back to the sea.
- +1985:00
- Megan: I don't want to go back to it. I want to understand it.
- +1987:00
- Cueball: By climbing? The sea is down, not up.
- +1993:00
- Megan: These bugs have such beautiful wings.
- +1994:00
- Megan: You could spend a thousand lifetimes staring at water and sand, thinking as hard as you could, and you'd never guess the world had things like this in it.
- +1997:00
- Megan: I wanna see the top.
- +1998:00
- Cueball: What do think we'll find?
- Megan: More world. Maybe different.
- +2045:00 [Climbing, they reach a plateau with a small tree.]
- Megan: Weird.
- +2050:00 [Megan climbs up the tree and tastes a fruit.]
- Megan: PFFFTHH.
- +2061:00 [Megan points to a small tree, similar to a Christmas tree.]
- Megan: Oh!
- +2081:00 [They encounter an old bunker.]
- Megan: Hello?
- +2084:00 [Megan goes inside.]
- Cueball: See anything?
- +2084:00
- Megan: Just some old furniture. Shelves, a broken bowl.
- +2094:00 [Megan climbs on something behind the bunker. A cougar appears, hidden by the bush to the left, behind them.]
- Megan: Oh, hey-
- +2095:00
- Megan: There's a stream back here.
- +2096:00
- Megan: And it almost looks like there's something on top of the mountain.
- +2097:00
- Cueball: Hmm...
- Could be.
- +2100:00
- Cueball: I think whoever lived here liked building castles, too.
- +2103:00
- Cueball: Here.
- +2104:00
- Megan: Oh!
- You brought a flag?
- Cueball: Yeah, I-

Part 5 (The cougar attack)[edit]
| [Expand]
|
- +2105:00
- Cueball: -LOOK OUT!
- +2106:00 [Cueball pushes Megan out of the way as a cougar rushes at them.]
- +2107:00 [The cougar jumps on Cueball.]
- +2110:00 [Megan grabs a branch laying on the ground.]
- Megan: Hey!
- Hey!
- Over here!
- +2112:00 [Megan hits the cougar.]
- Megan: THAWAP!
- Cougar: SNARL!
- +2113:00
- Cougar: HISS
- +2113:00 [Megan smacks the cougar on its head.]
- +2114:00 [The cougar runs away.]
- +2116:00
- Megan: Are you ok?
- Cueball: I, um...
- I think so?
- +2117:00
- Megan: It didn't bite you?
- Cueball: It had claws. I saw them.
- Megan: But you're not bleeding?
- +2118:00
- Cueball: No?
- +2119:00
- Cueball: I think it grabbed my bag by mistake.
- +2120:00
- Megan: That was lucky.
- Cueball: I was lucky that...
- ...You chased it away. Did you hit it?
- I couldn't really see.
- +2121:00
- Megan: Yeah.
- +2122:00
- Cueball: That was brave.
- +2123:00
- Megan: You grabbed me. If you hadn't pulled me down and-
- Cueball: Are you ok?
- +2124:00
- Megan: Yeah, I'm fine.
- +2125:00
- Cueball: No, you're not.
- +2126:00
- Megan: What?
- Cueball: You hurt your leg.
- +2127:00
- Megan: No, I just banged it on something when-
- Cueball: You're bleeding.
- +2128:00
- Megan: What? No I-
- Oh.
- +2129:00
- Megan: Claw marks. I didn't see it hit me.
- Cueball: It moved fast.
- +2131:00 [Cueball searches through his bag and talks to himself quietly.]
- Cueball: Where is it...
- I thought I had...
- +2132:00
- Megan: This is a surprising amount of blood.
- +2133:00
- Cueball: Keep your hand tight over where it's coming out.
- I'm looking for something to wrap around it.
- +2134:00
- Cueball: I can just tear the bag.
- It's torn already. Or-
- Megan: Oh, wait.
- +2135:00 [Megan pulls a strip of fabric out of her bag and gives it to Cueball.]
- +2145:00
- Megan: Sorry for ruining your flag.
- +2146:00
- Cueball: It's OK.
- After all, I brought it for you.
- +2147:00
- Megan: Thank you.
- +2149:00
- Megan: I like it so much I'm coloring it a beautiful red.
- +2162:00
- Megan: It's going to be a long walk home.
- +2163:00
- Cueball: Can you even walk? How are you feeling?
- +2164:00
- Megan: Thirsty.
- +2169:00
- Cueball: Does it hurt?
- +2170:00
- Megan: It didn't at first.
- Now it does.
- +2175:00
- Cueball: I think you're right.
- There's some kind of structure on the mountain.
- +2179:00
- Megan: I think I can walk OK.
- +2180:00
- Megan: It hurts, but it doesn't really hurt more when I lean on it.
- Cueball: That's good, at least.
- +2181:00
- Cueball: But it's a pretty bad cut.
- It could get a lot worse in the time it takes to walk home.
- +2182:00
- Cueball: We need help.
- +2183:00
- Megan: Do you think we should keep going up?
- +2184:00
- Cueball: We can't be more than a day or so from the top.
- There may be people there.
- +2185:00
- Megan: Like the people in the hills?
- Cueball: We're a long way from there.
- +2186:00
- Cueball: We don't know what's past the mountains. If we go up a little more, we'll be able to see.
- There could be villages.
- +2187:00
- Megan: And if there's no one there, we wont be much farther from home than we are now.
- Cueball: Yeah.
- +2188:00
- Megan: OK.
- +2189:00
- Cueball: I'll carry everything in your bag. Mine's torn, anyway.
- +2192:00
- Cueball: You tell me if your leg starts hurting too much.
- Megan: OK.
- +2194:00 [Both continue walking uphill...]

- +2204:00
- Cueball: I'll step in and help you over.
- +2205:00 [Megan jumps over the small stream without waiting for Cueballs help.]
- +2207:00
- Megan: OW.
- +2218:00 [After walking uphill again an indistinguishable animal appears in front of them.]
- +2221:00 [The animal disappeared and the are walking again.]
- +2223:00
- Megan: It's definitely colder up here.
- +2233:00
- Cueball: How are you feeling?
- Megan: Not great.
- +2234:00
- Megan: That thing is still out there.
- Megan: Probably others, too.
- Cueball: Yeah.
- +2240:00 The beginning of a sunset.
- +2252:00 The sky gets darker.
- Megan: We need to sleep.
- Cueball: Yeah.
- +2253:00
- Megan: It didn't seem scary before
- pausing to sleep wherever we were.
- +2255:00
- Cueball: I'll stay awake while you rest.
- Megan: I can stay awake.
- +2256:00
- Cueball: No, you need to rest. I'll wake you if I get tired.
- +2258:00
- Megan: Or if something is trying to eat you, and you need me to hit it.
- +2260:00 [Megan sleeps.]
- +2262:00 [It still gets darker and the sun settles down behind the mountain.]
- +2265:00 [The "Evening Star" (The planet Venus) appears on the sky and follows the path of the sun.]
- +2270:00 [More stars are viewable since it still gets darker.]
- +2319:20 until 2319:24 [A meteor appears in the sky.]
- +2333:00
- Cueball: Hey.
- +2334:00
- Cueball: Wake up.
- Megan: Yeah?
- +2335:00
- Cueball: I stayed awake as long as I could. Can you take over?
- Megan: Oh, sure.
- +2338:00
- Megan: All quiet?
- +2339:00
- Cueball: Yeah. How are you feeling?
- Megan: Still hurts.
- +2340:00
- Megan: But I got some rest. Your turn now.
- +2345:00 [A sound from above of them.]
- Chirp
- +2349:00 [Again that sound.]
- Chirp
- +2350:00
- Megan: Do you hear that?
- +2351:00
- Chirp
- Cueball: Yeah.
- +2352:00
- Cueball: I wonder what they're doing.
- +2386:00
- Cueball: I'm awake.
- Megan: Finally!
- +2387:00
- Cueball: Did I sleep too long?
- Megan: Not long enough, really. But it's getting late.
- And I was bored.
- +2388:00
- Cueball: How's your leg?
- +2390:00
- Megan: Looks OK.
- +2391:00
- Cueball: It does?
- Megan: Sure.

Part 7 (After the night the final attempt to reach the top of the mountain)[edit]
| [Expand]
|
- +2419:00
- Megan: OK. We get to the top. We look for people.
- +2420:00
- Megan: If we don't see any, we start back home.
- +2421:00
- Cueball: Sounds good.
- +2432:00 [After walking uphill again they reach a cliff in front of them.]
- Megan: Neat.
- +2433:00 [Some unknown items are at that cliff.]
- Cueball: I wonder what it's for.
- +2437:00 [Cueball helps Megan up to reach that cliff.]
- Cueball: Careful.
- +2440:00 [Cueball stands at the bottom of the cliff.]
- Cueball: Huh.
- +2441:00 [Cueball climbs up the cliff, using some artificial steps.]
- +2451:00 [They reach a plateau and before them there is a wooden tower.]
- +2458:00
- Cueball: I guess the mountains don't go back down on the other side.
- +2461:00 [Megan climbs up the tower.]
- +2465:00
- Megan: I found people.
- +2466:00 [Cueball reaches also the top floor of the tower.]
- Cueball: Where!?
- Megan: Over there.
- +2467:00
- Megan: It's far away.
- But do you see the dust?
- +2468:00
- Cueball: Yeah...
- Megan: And I saw flashes of light.
- Something glinting.
- +2470:00
- Megan: It's not far.
- We can reach them tonight.
- +2471:00
- Cueball: Good!
- Is walking still not too painful?
- +2472:00
- Megan: Walking is OK. Climbing hurt.
- +2473:00
- Cueball: You could have asked me to climb up here for you.
- Megan: But I wanted to see.
- +2474:00
- Megan: Have you figured out what that ting is?
- +2475:00
- Cueball: It looks like it's supposed to hold something.
- +2476:00
- Cueball: You can point it at things. Maybe it's a weapon.
- +2477:00
- Megan: Maybe.
- +2478:00
- Megan: But why would there be a weapon way up here?
- What's it aimed at?
- +2479:00
- Cueball: Right now you're pointing it at our home.
- Haven't you launched enough things at our castle?
- Megan: No.
- +2488:00
- Megan: Our poor castle.
- I wonder what's left of it.
- +2490:00 [White panel.]
- +2491:00-2493:00 [Showing the location of the castle, but it's flooded and the castle is gone. Only a small piece is floating on the sea.]
- +2494:00 [White panel.]
- +2507:00
- Cueball: I think that's another tower.
- +2508:00
- Megan: I think so, too.
- +2511:00 [Megan looks back to Cueball.]
- Megan: Are you OK?
- +2512:00
- Cueball: Yeah. I just need to rest for a moment.
- +2513:00
- Cueball: I don't know why I'm so out of breath.
- Megan: I'm feeling it too.
- +2515:00
- Cueball: I wonder if the air up here is different.
- +2516:00
- Megan: Could be.
- It's definitely cooler.
