(A school bus pulls up to Camp 98.7.)

Driver: Whoa, easy! (The bus stops.) Good girl.

(The students inside exit the bus.)

Ronathon: Do you ever wonder why- (He gets shoved to the ground by Emily, who was pushed by another student.)

Emily: Hey! (She picks her book up and leaves as more students exit.)

Thad: No kidding! (He and Lizzy share a laugh as they exit the bus.)

(Uzi is the last one off. She looks down at a couple of pairs of collars she wears on her right hand as we get a flashback.)

Khan: After the core collapsed... I... didn't notice the collars. (Khan is looking at an old photo of him and Nori, along with a group of friends.) Only your mom is a catch!

(No response from Uzi, who is staring into a room filled with old papers and storage stuff.)

Khan: (Sighs) She was always all, "Build doors against the coming sky demons!" "A singularity awakens." "Look at this cool S I can draw!" (Sighs) Turns out, I'm not who either of you needed. (He closes the door.) Just... Be safe, okay?

(He hands Uzi the collars as the flashback ends. Uzi puts one collar in her pocket, and the other goes around her neck.)

Braidon: Uh, teacher, what is this field trip?

Teacher: Yeah, Uzi's idea. Ask her.

Braidon: (Scoffs) Who?

Uzi: I've sat next to you for years.

(Uzi's speaking startles everyone.)

Uzi: Bite me! I asked to go alone. He's (The teacher.) mad at your test scores.

Teacher: No year-end bonus, no learning.

Braidon: So, we're just unsupervised? (CRASH!) What the-!?

(At that moment, V and N come crashing down in front of them. N turns to them menacingly, ready to kill them and ingest their warm, sweet oil...)

N: (Suddenly jolly) Welcome, campers! Let's sound off! (He gets ready to do roll-call, but instead begins to count.) One, two... (He stops. A student gets shot at by V and falls over, dead.)

Students: (In sync, and not wanting to get shot at as well) THREE/FOUR/FIVE/SIX/SEVEN/EIGHT/NINE/TEN/ELEVEN!

N: That's everyone! (Whispers to V) Minus one... (Loudly to the students) We have so many distracting activities planned, so no sneaking off to investigate stuff! (He slyly gestures to Uzi.) To the bunks!

(He leads the way... Except no one's following him. He looks over at Uzi, then back to the students.)

Thad: Sounds good, N!

Lizzy: Anything for my bestie!

(They join N and V, but no one else does.)

Uzi: Y-Yeah, they're like my friends, too, so... It's cool.

(Everyone flees in a panic at Uzi's mere presence.)

Emily: (Taking N's hand) You can be our friend, little guy!

Darren: (Poking V's eye) Poor things defective? (She grabs his hand, then looks back at Uzi.)

V: Hmph. Nah, just full of love. This one's (Gesturing to N) a pilot.

Rebecca: (Giggles) Wow, a pilot.

(N looks back at Uzi, who gestures that she will go her own way and that N should get everyone else to the campsite. She gives a thumbs up, N nods, and Uzi heads into the woods, alone.)
