Ellen approached the rest of the group as they were listening to the pre-recorded message, recorded by someone called CG. She didn't dare speak until the message ended, listening closely with a small, concentrated frown on her face. When the transmission ended, Ellen spoke. "Err hey," she said shyly. While she was technically addressing everyone, she was particularly focussing on the only other girl among them, who was accompanied by a small, pixie-like creature. "Erm, I'm guessing you are just as confused about what's going on?"

Lopmon stood behind Ellen, quietly looking up at her, his expression almost expectant. Ellen didn't seem to notice. "I'm Ellen," she said. "Ellen Hawkes... and-" But she didn't get to finish as Derek started running towards the group, acting as if something was chasing him. "M... onster?!" she exclaimed, staring in the direction of the water. She shrunk away from the lake. By contrast, Lopmon actually took a step towards it, going up to the edge of the water and peering down into the depths.
