YOU GET TO A NEW TOWN AND THEY'VE GOT ,
RUNNING WATER

THEY'VE ALSO GOT .RUNNING RATS

AND EVERYTHING BREAKS .
BEFORE IT'S SUPPOSED TO

!IT SUCKS

.YEAH

YOU THINK IT WAS ?LIKE THIS BEFORE

.PROBABLY NOT

.YEAH, PROBABLY NOT

PROBABLY NOTHING .EVER BROKE BEFORE

.OH, I DON'T KNOW

,HE JUST SAID ".I'LL THINK ABOUT IT"

I SAT HERE AND POURED ,MY HEART OUT

,AND HE JUST SAID ".I'LL THINK ABOUT IT"

.YOU THINK ABOUT IT

YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS.

IF WE COMBINED ,OUR RESOURCES, WORK TOGETHER

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA ?
WHAT WE COULD ACCOMPLISH

I KNOW WHAT IT TAKES ,TO GET BY OUT HERE

,TO SURVIVE, TO ORGANIZE .
GET PEOPLE TO DO WHAT I WANT

,I LEARNED HARD

THE THINGS I HAD TO DO .JUST TO SURVIVE

GIRLS HAD IT WORST ?OF ANYBODY, YOU KNOW

?IS THAT SO

.MMM-HMM

,YEAH, WHEN THE BIG DEATH HIT

ANYBODY ABOVE PUBERTY .DIED FAST, AND BAD

SO FOR EVERYBODY ,
ON THE EDGE ,WHEN IT HAPPENED

OH, WELL, IT GAVE THE IDEA OF
HITTING PUBERTY A LOT MORE TERROR

THAN THE NEED TO GO ,FIND A TAMPON

YOU KNOW WHAT ?I'M SAYING

,YOU SEE, WITH A GIRL

,THE MOMENT YOU HIT PUBERTY .YOU KNOW IT

WITH GUYS, IT TAKES 10, 15 YEARS TO NOTICE ,
A DIFFERENCE

BUT WE KNEW IT .RIGHT OFF

WE HAD TO LIVE :WITH THE TERROR

?AM I GOING TO DIE NOW"

"?IS IT MY TURN

WE HAD NO IDEA .THE BIG DEATH WAS OVER

WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT SON
OF A BITCH WAS SO FAST

THAT IT KILLED OFF EVERYBODY ,WHO CARRIED IT

SO THAT BY THE TIME WE STARTED ,
PUMPING OUT THOSE HORMONES

THERE WAS NOBODY LEFT .TO INFECT US

WE KNEW NONE .OF THAT

CHAPTER IN OUR STRUGGLE

AGAINST THE INFERIOR BREEDS
WHO BROUGHT THE BIG DEATH

TO OUR FAMILIES .AND OUR PARENTS

MASS DEATH LIKE THIS IS JUST

NATURE'S WAY OF SAYING

THERE'S TOO MANY PEOPLE .

IT'S SEALED AND DEAD

...SEALED, YEAH

.NOT DEAD

NOW WHAT THE HELL ?DID YOU DO THAT FOR

.OLD CHAIN, NEW LOCK

THAT'S .A GODDAMN BIG DOOR

,YEAH .IT HAD TO BE BIG

.THUNDER MOUNTAIN

THAT WAS NORAD'S NAME .FOR THIS PLACE

?NORAD

NORTH AMERICAN .AEROSPACE DEFENSE

THEY BUILT IT DEEP .INSIDE THE MOUNTAIN

IN THE EVENT ,OF A NUCLEAR ATTACK .
IT'D BE SAFE

MY DAD SAID IF THE END ,
OF THE WORLD EVER CAME

.THIS PLACE WOULD SURVIVE

.WELL, I GUESS HE WAS WRONG

.THERE'S NO WAY IN

I MEAN,
YOU COULD CHIP AWAY AT THIS THING FOR YEARS

.AND NOT GET THROUGH

.WE MAY NOT HAVE TO

.HOLY SHIT

UH, I'M NOT GOING .IN THERE WITH YOU

.SUIT YOURSELF

I'M NOT GOING IN THERE ,WITH YOU

I'M GOING IN WITH WHAT'S GONNA BE MY CAR

AFTER WHATEVER'S IN THERE .EATS YOUR ASS

.COME ON

!LET'S GO

DID I MENTION IN THE LAST 5 MINUTES

THAT COMING HERE ?WAS A STUPID IDEA

.3 TIMES

.'JUST CHECKIN

WE FINISHED .GOING OVER THE ROVER

THE BLOOD TYPE MATCHES ONE OF THE PEOPLE .
WE SENT OUT WITH IT

,WELL, I TOLD YOU HE WAS SHOT AND KILLED

.WHEN WE TRIED TO GET AWAY

)Lee( WAS THAT BEFORE ?
OR AFTER YOU STOLE THE ROVER

.WE DIDN'T STEAL IT .HE GAVE IT TO US

AN EXPENSIVE PIECE ,OF EQUIPMENT LIKE THAT

AND HE JUST GAVE ,IT TO YOU

BECAUSE YOU SEEMED LIKE GOOD GUYS

AND HE KNEW YOU'D COME ALL ?
THIS WAY TO RETURN IT

.SOMETHING LIKE THAT

WELL, YOU KNOW ?WHAT I THINK HAPPENED

.I THINK YOU AMBUSHED THEM

YOU FIGURED WHEREVER THIS CAME FROM,

THERE MIGHT BE MORE GOODIES TO STEAL.

SO YOU TORTURED THEM UNTIL YOU
FOUND OUT WHERE THEY CAME FROM.

.AND THEN YOU KILLED THEM

.THAT'S A LIE

BULLET HOLES IN THE REAR ,
AND SIDE OF THE ROVER

,SIGNS OF A STRUGGLE

,BLOOD

THAT'S ALL THE PROOF .I NEED

LOOK, WE TOLD YOU .WHAT HAPPENED

YOU DON'T ,BELIEVE US, FINE

.BUT IT'S THE TRUTH

WE CAME HERE TO GIVE .YOU BACK THE ROVER

.AND A MESSAGE

?WHAT'S THE MESSAGE

I'LL GIVE IT TO THE GUY IN CHARGE HERE .
AND NOBODY ELSE

THAT WOULD BE ME.

MARCUS? YOU DON'T .HAVE TO GET INTO THIS

I KNOW, LEE. I WANT TO.

?WHO THE HELL ARE YOU

.MARCUS ALEXANDER

I'M "THE GUY ".IN CHARGE HERE

AND I'M HERE TO SAY :
3 VERY IMPORTANT WORDS TO YOU

.I BELIEVE YOU

?WHY

I SPOKE WITH SIMON .SHORTLY BEFORE HE DIED

HE WAS ON HIS WAY .TO AN APPOINTMENT

,A VERY IMPORTANT APPOINTMENT .
BY THE SOUND OF IT

.HE SPOKE OF YOU, JEREMIAH

,YOU, KURDY

.HE DIDN'T MENTION

.FIGURES

HE SAID HE CONSIDERED YOU A
LIKELY CANDIDATE .FOR RECRUITMENT

SIMON'S ONLY RECOMMENDED
.2 OTHER PEOPLE BEFORE YOU

,ONE OF THEM, MATTHEW .DIED BY HIS SIDE

,LEE CHEN, HERE .IS THE OTHER

I HAVE ALWAYS TRUSTED .SIMON'S JUDGMENT

.SO DID I

BUT HE COULD'VE .MADE A MISTAKE

WE DON'T KNOW .WHAT HAPPENED AFTERWARD

.WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING

ACTUALLY, WE KNOW .QUITE A FEW THINGS

I KNOW THAT SIMON WOULD
NEVER BETRAY OUR LOCATION

TO SOMEONE .HE COULDN'T TRUST

,BUT EVEN IF HE DID TALK

EVEN IF YOU DID ,STEAL THE ROVER

YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE TRAVELED ,ALL THIS WAY

,HUNDREDS OF MILES ON THE VAGUE HOPE
THAT THERE .MIGHT BE MORE HERE TO STEAL

YOU WOULD'VE TAKEN IT TO THE NEAREST TOWN .
AND SOLD IT

NO, WE NEVER .WOULD'VE DONE THAT

.LET THEM GO

,MARCUS

.I DON'T TRUST THEM

?DO YOU TRUST ME

.YOU KNOW I DO

.THEN LET THEM GO

A GESTURE .OF MY SINCERITY

NOW PERHAPS WE CAN HAVE .
ONE FROM YOU IN EXCHANGE

YOU SAID SIMON HAD .A MESSAGE FOR ME

?WHAT WAS IT

.IT'S COMING AGAIN

?DID HE SAY ANYTHING ELSE

.NO

HE WAS DYING, IT WAS ABOUT .
ALL HE HAD TIME FOR

.TELL THEM. WARN THEM"

".IT'S COMING AGAIN

NOW DOES THIS MEAN ?WHAT WE THINK IT MEANS

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME ?TO DO WITH THEM

THEY'VE TRAVELED A LONG WAY .
TO DO US AN IMPORTANT SERVICE

I THINK THE LEAST WE CAN DO IS SEE TO IT
THAT THEY'RE FED .AND MADE COMFORTABLE

HAVE SARAH .SHOW THEM AROUND

WE'LL TALK AGAIN .BEFORE YOU LEAVE

THIS PLACE WAS BUILT .
TO SURVIVE A NUCLEAR ATTACK

IT WOULD'VE TAKEN DECADES BEFORE
THE ENVIRONMENT OUTSIDE .WAS LIVABLE

SO THEY DESIGNED A COMBINATION OF SOLAR .
AND OTHER POWER SOURCES

WE'VE GOT ,
HYDROPONIC GARDENS --WATER FILTRATION SYSTEMS

WELL, YEAH, YEAH, I SEE ,
YOU'VE GOT ALL THIS STUFF

BUT WHAT, YOU'RE JUST ?SITTING ON IT

,I MEAN, OUTSIDE .PEOPLE ARE DYING EVERY DAY

YOU COULD USE THIS STUFF .TO HELP THEM

IF WE LET THE OUTSIDE WORLD ,KNOW WE'RE HERE

,THEY'LL SWOOP DOWN TAKE EVERYTHING ,
THEY CAN CARRY

,BURN THE REST AND WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK .
WHERE WE STARTED

IT'S NOT MY DECISION .OR YOURS

THERE'S SOME REC ROOMS AND A SWIMMING POOL .
DOWN THIS WAY

.THEY HAVE A REC ROOM

.THANKS

.DIG IN )Jeremiah( .OK

I HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MUCH FOOD .IN ONE PLACE

.DON'T GET TOO EXCITED

.IT'S NOT AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS

?WHAT DO YOU DO HERE

I WORK WITH MARCUS ON NEWCOMER INTEGRATION .
AND ORIENTATION

SO WHERE DOES MARCUS ?FIT IN ALL THIS

MARCUS IS THE HEART .OF THIS PLACE

,WITHOUT HIM I THINK THE WHOLE THING .
WOULD FALL APART

.HE'S AN EXTRAORDINARY MAN

.HE BELIEVES IN THINGS

,HE BELIEVES IN US .THIS PLACE

.IN THE FUTURE

AND HE HAS THIS AMAZING ABILITY

TO MAKE OTHER PEOPLE .BELIEVE IN THINGS, TOO

,BEFORE I CAME HERE

I DIDN'T THINK THERE WAS A FUTURE .
TO BELIEVE IN ANYMORE

.EXCUSE ME

.ELIZABETH .OH, HONEY, I'M SORRY

.I'M ALL RIGHT

MY NAME .IS ELIZABETH MUNROE

,THE MAN THAT YOU HELPED ...SIMON

WE JUST STARTED SEEING .
EACH OTHER ABOUT A YEAR AGO

.HE WAS EVERYTHING TO ME

.I'M SORRY

--YEAH, I'M--I'M .I'M SORRY, TOO

I WAS WONDERING IF I COULD ASK YOU .A FAVOR

UM, EVER SINCE I FOUND OUT ...THAT SIMON WAS

I KEEP PICTURING IT ,IN MY HEAD

AND I THINK I COULD SLEEP BETTER TONIGHT

IF I KNEW ,WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED

RATHER THAN WHAT MY BRAIN CONJURES
UP IN THE MIDDLE .OF THE NIGHT

...I

.I--I CAN DO THAT

I APOLOGIZE FOR TAKING YOU AWAY .
FROM YOUR FRIEND

.THAT'S OK

,HE IS YOUR FRIEND ?ISN'T HE

.I DON'T KNOW .I THINK SO

IT'S JUST, I'VE NEVER HAD ,ONE BEFORE

.SO IT'S HARD TO SAY

.I'M SORRY

.IT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS

.MY COLLECTION

SIMON WOULD ALWAYS BRING ME BACK

.WHATEVER HE FOUND OUTSIDE

HE SAID IF THINGS AS DELICATE

AND FRAGILE ,AS THESE COULD SURVIVE

THERE WAS HOPE .FOR THE REST OF US

HE SAID HE WAS DETERMINED TO BRING ME BACK .
A GLASS SWAN

.I'M SORRY

.I'LL GET THE TEA GOING

.YOU'RE ALL ALONE

SARAH HAD SOME WORK .TO FINISH

.I FIGURED I'D JUST WAIT HERE

,IT'S QUITE THE PLACE ?ISN'T IT

,OF COURSE .IT'S AN ILLUSION

,IF WE LOST POWER

THE DARKNESS WOULD COME AND ALL THIS WOULD .
BE DEAD IN A WEEK

AS PEACEFUL AS IT SEEMS ,ON THE INSIDE

THE WORLD OUTSIDE .
IS STILL THE WORLD OUTSIDE

AND THE WORLD ...THAT BUILT THIS

.IS GONE

,QUESTION IS ?WHAT COMES NEXT

FOR 15 YEARS WE'VE BEEN LIVING OFF .
THE SCRAPS OF THE OLD WORLD

NOW THOSE SCRAPS .ARE ALMOST GONE

.PLAYTIME'S OVER

EITHER WE LET THE WORLD ,KEEP FALLING APART

OR WE START BUILDING A NEW WORLD
OUT OF THE ASHES .OF THE OLD ONE

THE SHAPE THAT THAT WORLD TAKES WILL
BE DETERMINED ,EITHER BY US IN HERE

.OR BY THE MONSTERS OUT THERE

YEAH, AND I'VE SEEN .THE MONSTERS OUT THERE

THERE'S A LOT MORE OF THEM .
THAN THERE ARE OF YOU

WHICH IS WHY WE'RE GONNA NEED ALL THE
HELP WE CAN GET .WHEN THE TIME COMES

AND WHEN'S THAT ?GONNA BE, HUH

?HOW LONG ARE YOU GONNA WAIT

MARCUS,
I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU DON'T WANT THE WORLD

,TO FIND OUT ABOUT THIS PLACE .
AND I'M OK WITH THAT

.BUT YOU COULD DO SOMETHING

HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GONNA DIE

WHILE YOU JUST SIT ?
AND WAIT FOR THE RIGHT DAY

,A GOOD MANY .I IMAGINE

.YOU IMAGINE .I CAN GUARANTEE IT

,ON THE WAY HERE .
WE SAW A GROUP OF SKINHEADS

NOW, THEY'RE GONNA KILL A BUNCH OF PEOPLE

JUST BECAUSE .THEY DON'T LIKE THEM

SAID THEY WERE GONNA DO IT .IN A FEW DAYS

.THAT'S ANY TIME NOW

AND YOU WANT TO DO ?SOMETHING ABOUT IT

.YES ?BUT YOU KNOW WHAT

...I DON'T HAVE .I DON'T HAVE ALL THIS

--BUT IF I DID

?WHAT ?WHAT WOULD YOU DO

.OK. I DON'T KNOW

.BUT I WOULD DO SOMETHING

.IT'S TOO DANGEROUS WE'D RISK EXPOSING .
OUR SITUATION HERE

WE COULD FIGURE OUT A WAY TO DO IT

WITHOUT EVER LEADING .ANYONE BACK HERE

.YOU COULD HELP THOSE PEOPLE

THEY WOULD NEVER KNOW .IT WAS YOU

.YOU CAN'T BE SURE OF THAT

.NO, I CAN'T

BUT IF YOU'RE WILLING ,
TO JUST SIT ON YOUR HANDS

AND LET PEOPLE DIE 20 MILES DOWN THE ROAD

JUST BECAUSE ,IT'S INCONVENIENT FOR YOU

BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT ,TO RISK ANYTHING

WHAT KIND OF WORLD ?ARE YOU TRYING TO BUILD

AND WHO DO YOU THINK'S ?
GONNA WANNA LIVE THERE

.WELL, I SHOULD GET GOING

?SO WHAT DID HE WANT

.NOTHING .THAT'S THE PROBLEM

.HMM

,WELL, LOOK, I, UH I TOLD ELIZABETH

THAT SIMON WANTED US TO SAY GOODBYE

AND TO TELL HER .THAT HE LOVED HER VERY MUCH

.YEAH, WHICH HE DIDN'T .HE DIDN'T HAVE TIME

.YEAH, I KNOW BUT I THINK IT WAS SOMETHING .
SHE NEEDED TO HEAR

.MAYBE SO

REMEMBER WHEN YOU ASKED ME WHAT I WAS ,
LOOKING FOR

,AND I SAID I DIDN'T KNOW

BUT I WOULD KNOW IT ?WHEN I SAW IT

.MMM-HMM

.I SAW IT, MAN

.IT FIGURES I FINALLY FOUND ,
WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR

AND I WILL NEVER EVEN GET CLOSE TO .
HAVING A CHANCE WITH HER

?WHY NOT

.COME ON, MAN

YOU REALLY THINK THEY'RE GONNA LET 2 GUYS ?
LIKE US MOVE IN HERE

.NO WAY, BABY

.NOBODY GIVES YOU A FREE RIDE

,IN MY ENTIRE LIFE EVERYTHING I'VE .
ALWAYS WANTED, I NEVER GOT

SO WHY SHOULD THIS ?BE ANY DIFFERENT

.WE'RE STILL ON OUR OWN .ALWAYS WILL BE

".FUCKING "A

DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU
COULD HELP THOSE PEOPLE

WITHOUT GETTING CAUGHT ?
OR GIVING AWAY OUR POSITION

.YES, I DO

.SHOW ME

)skinhead #1( !OK, GET 'EM ON OUT

!LET'S GO ?WHO WANTS TO BE NEXT

!THAT ONE

,LET'S DO HER, MAN !DO HER RIGHT NOW

)woman( !NO

)skinhead #3( !HEY, YOU !
GAME'S OVER, SNAKE EYE

!SHIT

WHAT THE HELL ?IS GOING ON

?COME ON. YOU OK .LET'S GO

)Jeremiah( !GO

NOW I SEE WHY THESE GUYS THINK
THEY'RE SO SUPERIOR .AND ALL

?HOW DO YOU FIGURE

I AIN'T NEVER SEEN NOBODY RUN THAT FAST .
IN MY LIFE

?YOU SEE THAT, JEREMIAH

.UH-HUH ,ALL RIGHT, WELL .
CHECK THIS OUT, BABY

.YEAH

.PRETTY DAMN FAST

,ALL RIGHT WE BETTER GET GOING

.BEFORE THEY LOOK UP HERE .NOBODY SAW US

.NOBODY KNOWS WE'RE HERE .
WE DID WHAT WE CAME TO DO

,YEAH. YEAH, WE DID ?DIDN'T WE

,WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD .MARCUS

SORRY TO SEE YOU GO,

,BUT YOU, UH HAVE TO UNDERSTAND

WE HAVE CERTAIN LIMITATIONS ON
WHO WE CAN LET .STAY ON HERE

.YEAH, WE FIGURED AS MUCH

)Marcus( EVERYBODY HERE HAS A ROLE ,
TO PLAY, A JOB TO DO

THAT'S THE ONLY WAY WE CAN MAINTAIN OUR .
LIMITED RESOURCES

,STILL I'VE HAD SOME SUPPLIES .
SET ASIDE FOR YOU

ENOUGH FOR ,A FEW WEEKS ANYWAY

TO GET YOU BACK .ON YOUR WAY AGAIN

IT'S THE LEAST .WE COULD DO

,THANKS. IF THAT'S ALL .WE'LL BE ON OUR WAY

UNLESS YOU'D LIKE TO HAVE A ROLE HERE .
FOR YOURSELVES

.I'M LISTENING

WE HAVE HALF A DOZEN ,SEARCH TEAMS OUT THERE

,BRINGING BACK INFORMATION .
AND KEEPING AN EYE ON THINGS

,WHEN SIMON DIED WE LOST ONE
OF THE BEST TEAMS .THAT WE HAD

YOU'VE PROVEN YOU CAN HANDLE .
YOURSELVES IN A CRUNCH

,YOU COULD REPLACE THEM .
PICK UP WHERE THEY LEFT OFF

WE COULD USE SOMEONE WITH YOUR KNOWLEDGE .
OF THE WORLD OUTSIDE

HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO
GET INFORMATION FOR YOU

WHEN YOU'RE HOLDING BACK ?
INFORMATION FROM US

--I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE

.SIMON'S MESSAGE

,WHEN I GAVE IT TO YOU .
IT HIT YOU PRETTY HARD

IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO ,WITH THE BIG DEATH ?
DOESN'T IT

THE BIG DEATH WIPED OUT .6
BILLION PEOPLE IN 6 MONTHS

WE STILL DON'T KNOW ,WHAT IT WAS

,OR WHY IT CAME OR IF IT MIGHT .
COME BACK AGAIN

SIMON'S JOB WAS TO ANSWER .THOSE QUESTIONS

HE WAS TRACKING A LEAD WHEN HE LEFT HERE .
FOR THE LAST TIME

)Jeremiah( ,DO YOU KNOW WHO HE TALKED TO ?
WHO--WHO HE WAS GONNA MEET

.NO ,SIMON KEPT A JOURNAL

,LISTS OF CONTACTS ,
THINGS HE WAS INVESTIGATING

.QUESTIONS IN NEED OF ANSWERS

BUT THIS MUST'VE COME UP AT THE LAST MINUTE

CAUSE THERE'S NOTHING' .
IN HIS JOURNAL ABOUT IT

STILL, I COULD ALWAYS TRUST .HIS JUDGMENT

IF HE THINKS THESE PEOPLE ,KNEW SOMETHING

.THEN THEY KNEW

?WHAT IS IT

,THIS LIST, UH

...NAMES, PLACES

YES, THOSE WERE SOME OF THE THINGS .
HE WAS LOOKING INTO

?WHY

:THIS ENTRY RIGHT HERE .VALHALLA SECTOR

?WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT IT

JUST THAT IT WAS ONE OF THE LAST THINGS

HE WAS INVESTIGATING .BEFORE HE DIED

SO SOMEONE ON THAT LIST OF CONTACTS
MUST KNOW .SOMETHING ABOUT IT

I'VE TOLD VERY FEW PEOPLE .
ABOUT SIMON'S MESSAGE

.NO REASON TO CAUSE A PANIC

BUT THIS RAISES .THE STAKES ENORMOUSLY

.WE COULD USE THE HELP

?WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO

,GO BACK OUTSIDE

FIND OUT WHO OUR POTENTIAL FRIENDS ,
AND ENEMIES ARE

LOOK FOR RESOURCES WE CAN USE ,IN THE FUTURE

RECONSTRUCT SIMON'S LIST ,OF CONTACTS

AND FIND OUT WHAT ,
YOU CAN ABOUT THE BIG DEATH

SO WE CAN PREPARE ,FOR THE WORST .
IF NECESSARY

,AT THE END OF THE DAY .
TRY TO COME HOME ALIVE

?DO WE GET TO KEEP THIS

.OF COURSE

IT'LL GIVE YOU .A PLACE TO START

?SO, WHAT DO YOU SAY

)Kurdy( LOOK, IF THIS THING'S ,COMIN' BACK

THERE'S NOTHING YOU OR ANYBODY ELSE CAN DO .
TO STOP IT

ANYBODY WITH HALF A BRAIN

WOULD JUST GO OUT THERE AND PARTY UNTIL .
THE BIG "D" COMES AGAIN

,HOWEVER

.I'M IN

?JEREMIAH

,I'M IN, TOO .ON ONE CONDITION

,WHILE WE'RE OUT THERE
YOU LET ME LOOK FOR PLACES

WHERE WE CAN USE YOUR RESOURCES HERE

TO START HELPING PEOPLE PICK THEMSELVES ,
BACK UP AGAIN

WITHOUT GIVING .AWAY YOUR LOCATION

.I FIGURED YOU WOULD ASK THAT

SO MY ANSWER .IS A QUALIFIED YES

I'M NOT WILLING YET .TO RISK THIS PLACE

BUT I AM WILLING .TO RISK YOU

,YOU CAN DO AS YOU SAY ,BUT IF IT GOES WRONG

WE WILL NOT COME .LOOKING FOR YOU

?WILL THAT DO

.THAT'LL DO JUST FINE

SO I HEAR .YOU'RE READY TO GO

.YEAH, YEAH, LOOKS LIKE

HEY, I, UH, FOUND THIS .
WHEN WE GOT THE ROVER BACK

I GUESS HE FOUND ONE .AFTER ALL

.IT'S BEAUTIFUL .THANK YOU

,YOU HAVE, UH ?A GLASS CAT

.NO

.YOU WILL

I EXPECT YOU BACK HERE .IN 2 WEEKS

.AND WE'LL BE HERE

DEAR DAD,

I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERY DAY.

THE END OF YOUR WORLD,
THE BEGINNING OF MINE.

THE WORLD THAT'S YET TO BE,

WAITING TO BE BORN.

.WE'RE ALL SET

WHAT'S THE DEAL ?WITH THAT ANYWAY

.LETTERS TO MY DAD

.I WRITE 'EM WHENEVER I CAN

,I TELL HIM WHERE I'M AT ,WHAT I'M DOING

APOLOGIZE FOR LETTING .HIM DOWN

HOW LONG YOU PLAN ?ON KEEPING THAT UP

SOME DAY I'LL PUT ,EM IN THE FIRE' ,
AND THEY WON'T BURN

.AND I'LL KNOW IT'S ENOUGH

,COME ON .LET'S GET OUTTA HERE

.THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY
