:[Going back right past the shaft you came down through you reach a smaller room with a raised plateau in the center. On top of this stand a family of four. First there is a short kid with lots of black hair. Then what at first looks like a girl, but turns out to be a woman, with a hairdo not typically seen in xkcd, blonde but short hair, with a little wisp sticking out front. She seems to wear a miniskirt. Then a taller person, could have been a man but it also turns out that this is a woman, with a square black afro-like hair-do and big glasses. Behind her is a woman with very long and big blond hair. The afro haired woman holds up her left hand and above it floats a coin ('''#48'''). This can be recognized as the family from the Steven Universe tv-series. The boy being Steven. The first woman with least hair is Pearl. The high afro woman in the middle Garnet and. The woman with big blond hair is Amethyst. The three woman are what is called crystal gems and are aliens. Steven is half alien. See later when Darth Vader him self references them.]

:[Going back up the shaft to the left (1.5s) you then move up the shaft where there where a coin in the entrance when you first pass it. (1.7s). This takes you up to the top of the ship. You move down to the previous entrance (8s) but find noting interesting here. So you go back and down again (1.4s) and back to the round-about (2.8s).]

::Cueball: Say what you will about Palpatine's politics, but he's a staunch supporter of the imperial parks and the Coruscant Audubon society.

:[So this is Palpatine's park. After this there is a little hill with a small tree and then comes a Cueball with bow and arrows walking left towards you. Behind him is a deer with antlers and later three insects flying over the high grass. And then the cave ceiling comes down to the ground level again as the cave ends and a new corridor goes right. The last short part of the cave is completely level with the corridor but still with grass until just before the cave turns into the corridor. It takes 11s to move across the cave flying over any obstacles, but at least 13 along the ground as you get stuck about three times in each direction.]

:[At this point you realize you have to check the ceiling of the cave as well. You start from the right end moving up along the cave wall. 1.6s up you find a shelf in the cave wall, with a little ledge jutting out. Black Hat is sitting there head down, arms on his knees, snoring:]

:[Leaving the room along the corridor going down the shaft to the right you end up in a corridor going back left under the bridge. Here you enter (10s) a dead-end room of just more than one jump height and 1.5s long. In this room two Cueballs are walking left towards the end of the room, which is also a window out of the elevated ship hull with the bridge and globe. Behind them at the end of the room to the left is a coin ('''#116'''). The front Cueball turns and talks to the taller Cueball behind:]

:[Dropping from Cueballs shelf you land on yet another shelf 1.6s below. On this piece of the backside of the ship, the ship is still sloping to the right. Right beneath this shelf the ship goes a very little further out, (you could stand there). This is the farthest right you can get while standing on the Destroyer. You can see that the hull seems to go back left just below at the bottom of the screen. On the shelf a Megan is leaning up against the ship’s hull to the left while another Megan stands close to the edge looking slightly down and right. She is the one talking:]

:[Your final job on the exploration of the Destroyer is to jump of the back end to go back under the hull to the last entry (7s) which is the one where there were a bouncing coin. Seeing this and not finding anymore coins you go back to the back-end of the ship]

:[You drop in to the well and at the bottom (2.4s) there is a coin ('''#153''') just above the water level, and in the water, going to the top of her legs is a girl with long black hair. You are taller than the girl, so the water doesn’t reach your crotch. The girl speaks and the text is written in white in the black earth to the right side]

::Girl: I'm not a ghost. I just like wells.  
 
::Girl: I'm not a ghost. I just like wells.  
:[Ghosts are often associated with wells. The well is almost 12 jumps deep and it takes 3.9s to get up fast. The wells sides are so uneven that if you do not jump from the right spot you will hit the sides on the way up. To be sure to fall to the bottom at once you should fall through the tip of the roof. This will also work out if you just step of the stone walls on either side. At the bottom you will land to the left of the center, so you can see the girl without covering her, when you land. This is also where the coin where. Jumping up from the girl will soon make you hit the walls. Same if you get just a little closer to the left side. If you walk to the left you will walk just out of the water to stand a little up the wall. It is possible to find a foothold so it looks like you are hovering just above the water level. Jumping down from there you can jump straight out. There are ten places you can stand on the wall to the right between bottom and stones at the top, and 17 to the left. Even up in the stone setting at the top you can stand inside one place to the right and two to the left. It is possible to jump longer left than this well by just keeping the left arrow pushed when leaving the rock island in the sky to the left. So in principle you can increase the fall height by about 2.5s if you could just hit this well (it is about 12.2s left in free fall, but it is hard to hit). This may be the longest possible free fall from one structure before standing still at about 18s).]

:[Continuing left from the well the landscape generally rises and the grassy ground is uneven with rocks/stones protruding out from the grass. You reach (2.3s) two girls that are playing. A girl with ponytail runs to the left, jumping of a protruding stone towards a long haired girl with a bun, who holds out her arms towards the other girl. The bun girl stands on a slab of stone. They are clearly children, much lower than you.]
