with her arms over her knees, and rests her head on them.<br />

She lifts her head. Jack hands her a glass. She takes a couple sips before
|

setting it down and resting her head again.<br />

<span class="quote speech">Not sure if that makes it better or worse.

After a while, she lifts her head again.<br />

|
||||
catches up to him. The path ends abruptly where a landslide had left
|
||||
nothing but a cliff and a huge pile of rubble. At the top of the mountain,
|
||||
teetering on the edge, are two buildings – all that's left of
|
||||
the ground station. The rest of the buildings and the dish lay strewn
|
||||
around in pieces down below.
