00:00:00.400 Speaker 1 Sandel squirmed against the man's grip, but he held her tight. This is the
00:00:06.200 Speaker 1 part where you tell me everything.
00:00:10.060 Speaker 1 He emphasized his point by pressing the knife just hard enough to prick her skin.
00:00:15.560 Speaker 1 I'm here on a job. With who? Two others. Hmm,
00:00:21.640 Speaker 1 would that be the two men you sat with? Yes, how did... Ah, ah, ah, ah,
00:00:27.640 Speaker 1 keep talking. He'd been watching them? How? She'd been careful.
00:00:33.880 Speaker 1 So careful. A job for who? Talk.
00:00:40.300 Speaker 1 I can't say. The knife bit into Sandel's skin, sinking in just half an inch but
00:00:46.160 Speaker 1 enough to make her gasp in pain. The Puppeteer.
00:00:51.780 Speaker 1 Figured, but I needed to be sure. Didn't guess they'd send more than one team. That
00:00:57.200 Speaker 1 was dirty. Then he sighed, like he was stealing himself to do
00:01:03.020 Speaker 1 something he would dislike. And Sandel's intuition told her this was it. If
00:01:08.960 Speaker 1 she didn't fight now, there wouldn't be another chance. She didn't drift. Not right
00:01:14.840 Speaker 1 away, because he would be expecting that. Instead, she brought her head back as hard
00:01:19.400 Speaker 1 as she could. She felt a crunch against the back of her head and felt a knife dig
00:01:23.600 Speaker 1 into her side. Then she was drifting. Not forward, toward the present frame, but
00:01:28.460 Speaker 1 backward. Backward as fast as she could go. She flew through time. The shock trooper
00:01:34.420 Speaker 1 guards reappeared. The vault door reappeared. Minutes flew by in mere seconds. She
00:01:39.500 Speaker 1 watched the two guards talk to each other, silently with exaggerated speed. Harder.
00:01:44.680 Speaker 1 She needed to push harder. A man with a hat briefly flickered into view. She drifted
00:01:49.760 Speaker 1 farther back in time to get away from him. Her head was spinning. Nausea started to
00:01:54.980 Speaker 1 set in. She'd never gone this fast. Never tried to race to the brink. The
00:02:01.060 Speaker 1 man in the hat appeared in an instant and rammed a shoulder into her. Sandel fell
00:02:05.580 Speaker 1 over, drifted a dozen frames, then got back up. He appeared next to her and stabbed
00:02:10.340 Speaker 1 with the knife. She drifted away, causing him to vanish just before the knife struck
00:02:14.160 Speaker 1 her. Sandel breathed heavily. Her mind was stuffy. Her fingers tingled and her limbs
00:02:19.620 Speaker 1 went numb. Too fast. She was going too fast. But she kept drifting
00:02:25.280 Speaker 1 anyway. It was the only way. The only way to escape.
00:02:46.220 Speaker 1 Sandel didn't know how far back in time she'd gone when she finally stopped. It had
00:02:51.140 Speaker 1 only been a few minutes for her, but these frames were probably hours old already.
00:02:57.060 Speaker 1 When she stood, she looked up at open sky. The train around her was melting away
00:03:02.860 Speaker 1 into black dust. The desert around the train was darkness, deep and black.
00:03:09.700 Speaker 1 Two men lay on the ground here, one curled up in a fetal position, the other
00:03:14.700 Speaker 1 completely motionless. Sandel tried to drift farther back but felt a strong
00:03:19.860 Speaker 1 resistance. There were no older frames. She was here. She
00:03:25.920 Speaker 1 panicked and waited for it, but the man in the hat didn't appear again. One of the
00:03:31.600 Speaker 1 shock troopers on the ground looked up at her. Are you real? Sandel
00:03:37.700 Speaker 1 stumbled backward. What were they doing here? They were alive? How did they
00:03:43.580 Speaker 1 get here? She kept walking backwards. The vault door was still here in this frame,
00:03:48.800 Speaker 1 but part of the wall was missing already. Finally, a bit of good luck. She slipped
00:03:53.600 Speaker 1 through the disintegrating wall and ran down the length of the vault car, away from
00:03:57.700 Speaker 1 the shock trooper. Where am
00:04:02.200 Speaker 1 I? Where am I? Where am
00:04:06.860 Speaker 1 I? She kept running. She made it two full train cars before the erosion finally
00:04:11.080 Speaker 1 caught up to her. The train ahead was falling apart. The screaming man finally
00:04:16.940 Speaker 1 fell silent as the erosion moved over him, too. She waited until the very last
00:04:22.960 Speaker 1 moment, until everything around her was darkness, until everything was
00:04:28.520 Speaker 1 dust. Then, she drifted forward.
