Coach, Nick, Ellis, and Rochelle stumble away from the wreckage, wiping soot from their faces, their clothes damp and torn.* Coach: Next time somebody decides to put down the pilot, a little warning would be real nice.

Damn good one, Nick. Rochelle: Okay, but… does anyone have even the faintest idea where we are?
