Evan felt the helicopter begin to drop as the island came into clearer view from the window. They passed over trees and fields where the green of the grass and the brown of the dirt were beginning to peak from behind coats of white snow. Then the town began to emerge. Wooden homes, mostly. They looked like mountain homes pioneers may have lived in back in the day. First they were spread out among the trees, then what could be considered proper streets started to emerge. There was a single road paved with stone that ran through the middle of town, forcing the buildings to line up along it. From that road, dirt roads and paths snaked off. Evan didn't notice a single car, or gas station, but saw a few of what could be street lights. As they passed the town, the buildings became scarce again. Evan caught a glimpse of a massive, ornate building last minute, but didn't get a chance to see all the details of it.

As the helicopter left the town behind, it turned, a different cluster of structures came into view. It was a mesh of old and new. The closest buildings were antique. Two built from bricks that looked ancient, which had clearly been reinforced with a mud like mortar. Some of the windows were encrusted with whatever grime had settled over the centuries. The wooden window pane dividers had darkened and petrified with age. One was three stories high, which Evan figured would be where the classes were, and the other was two, possibly the dorms. Evan imagined the bug infestations these buildings might have if they were in a warmer place, and couldn't imagine he would be able to sleep at all if that were the case.

As Evan looked to the left of these two buildings, it was like traveling through time. A paved concrete road; the only one he had seen on this island, led up the mountain and wrapped around a tall glass building. The windowpanes that made up most of this structure were blue, and if the sun was out, the reflection might blind anyone who looked at it. There was also what looked to be a large fuel tank, and armored vehicles like Evan had never seen; they were also the only cars.

The helicopter lowered until it hit the ground with a thud. Doors opened automatically, and Dr Clementine spoke up again.

"Everybody out!"
