At first, Lisse’s group members don’t accept that they have traveled to a different planet. Then, they remember that the most recent time they went to sleep in the Barton Oaks station, they woke up in a plastic hull that resembled an egg. They go back to where they emerged from the container and find it there, decaying. They notice that the container has parachutes attached to it, indicating they were dropped from space. Rich suggests that the reason they don’t remember being in the egg is because they were hypnotized to forget it.
Trent and Lisse are angry when they realize they are stuck on this new planet for good. Lisse reflects on the past few weeks and notices all the clues they missed: all the animal and plant species are unfamiliar, and they have not seen the moon in the sky. The teens realize they have not bathed or washed in several weeks, so they decide to clean themselves in the river. After washing up, Lisse begins to see the positive side of their situation: There is an entire world for them to explore.
