I smell fire.
- We're almost there.
+ Yup, we're almost there.
Annie is slightly confused by his answer and how seemingly unfazed he is.
Don't you want to do something about
it?
- Fires out here aren't all bad news.
- Some are, but I'm gonna guess this one's our campfire.

Annie and Jack walk over a crest? ridge?,
- revealing a view of the small valley
- beyond. The large, open bunker door is visible on the other side,
- with bushes to the left and right and an open area in front of it that
- connects to an old, partially overgrown street. A person is sitting
- next to a fire right in front of the door, cooking over the flames.

+ The bunker is set into the mountain on the other side, the large open

+ lay of the land info (for Jack opening the door

+ to the right where it passes the bunker and continues around the other

+ They start making their way down to the road.

+ I see. Am cooking – any food allergies

+ Annie shakes her head.
+ She says no.
+ Okay, see you in a bit.
+ Jack puts the radio away and the two continue downwards.
- They make their way across and Jack introduces Michelle and Annie to each
- other.
- So you join us out here after all?
+ It takes them a while to get to the road. The pavement is cracked with
+ plants growing out of it. Ahead of them is a bridge over a small river.
+ They cross it about half-way where Annie stops and turns to the railing.
+ She almost leans against it, before the thought
+ What if it breaks? shoots into her
+ head. She grabs on to it and shakes ... herself. The railing stands firm.
+
+ At some point soon-ish after this, Annie will try
+ this and the floor under her will give out. From then on, she will be
+ afraid of going too close to railings / edges.
+ Jack joins her looking down at the small river below and says:
+ Learning quickly, huh?
+
+ What she got to say? What she seeing?
+
+ After a moment, they continue along the road. It makes a sharp turn to
+ the right into a slight incline along the hillside. They walk for a few
+ more minutes and reach the bunker. As they approach, the person they saw
+ earlier – presumably Michelle – comes out of the bunker and
+ adds some ingredients to a pot on a tripod over the flames.
+ Is there a word for these metal rings with three

+ Jack introduces the two to each other – it is Michelle.

+ So you join us out here after all?

Yeah, things kinda went south quickly.
+ Well then, welcome to your new home for the
+ time being.
They all sit down around the fire and Annie recounts the events of the
recent past while the meal continues cooking.
- A noise in the bushes around the bunker entrance gets their attention.
+ The ensuing conversation is interrupted by a noise in the bushes.
Michelle tilts her head, then turns around.
Is that a dog? There's a dog here!

Gladly. He comes closer.
I'm James, the green wizard of
Siren's Edge.
- Michelle, time traveller. Can you show us

- Well, currently no, my staff is broken.

See? Not working.
They all have a laugh and Annie and Jack introduce themselves in a more

C'mere, sit!

While eating, they discuss their mission.
