Islandgirl struggles to put a marshmallow on a stick with one hand while holding onto a graham cracker and chocolate bar with the other. Soon she is juggling. "Hey! I'm juggling!" At which point, everything falls into the fire, with the stick landing in Stardoe's coffee mug. Stardoe takes a breath and counts to ten before speaking.

"Tell me, Islandgirl, is this similar to what happened to the GPS unit?" She sips her coffee and almost pokes herself in the eye with the stick. She removes the stick and tosses it on the fire.

"Well...kinda...except for the fire part. And the graham cracker. There was a marshmallow involved." IG smiles weakly. "So, where are we anyway?"

Stardoe looks up at the sky, then across the horizon. "Best I can tell, we're at base camp on Mount Covarrubias."

"Ew! I never liked her." IG wrinkles up her nose in distaste. "How did we get here, anyway?"

Stardoe stares at IG. "How did we get here? HOW DID WE GET HERE???" Stardoe stops, takes a breath, counts to ten. Then counts to ten again. "Let me spell it out for you. One, you refused to let me carry the GPS unit even though you've never used one and I'm a trained professional. Two, you were sitting facing the rear of your takhi, which meant the directions you were shouting to me were backward. Three, you then lost the GPS unit in a mysterious incident involving marshmallows. Four, you dropped a stick in my coffee nearly causing me to poke myself in the eye."

"So you're saying it's MY fault?" asks an indignant IG.

Stardoe looks up at IG before she responds. She sees the innocent look on IG's face, then sighs. "No, of course not. You were only trying to help. Once night falls we can chart our course by the stars."

IG smirks to herself, pleased once again to have fooled Stardoe with her innocent act. She gets up and removes her pink sleeping bag from the takhi. She unrolls it and lies down. Pulling a harmonica from her pocket, she starts playing the blues.

Suddenly, everything goes dark. Stardoe looks up and says, "What the...?"
