As the sun comes out Jon walks across the barren lands in his home made space suit

JON: I BELIEVE THE TALES THAT WERE PASSED DOWN TO MY FATHER OF HOW THE HUMAN RACE WAS HELD IN INTELLECTUAL SLAVERY


The sun shines brighter and Jon stumbles ever onward through the barren lands

JON: AND HOW WE ONCE WERE MASTERS OF OUR DESTINY, BUT IT SEEMS IT WAS ALL FAIRY TALES


On the top of a barren hill Jon looks down to see a lone US diner, he removes his helmet

JON: COUGH, I CAN BREATHE FREELY, I MADE IT, IS THIS? THIS IS EARTH


Jon wanders into the bar a stranger turns to look

STRANGER: AN ENTRANCE LIKE THAT DESERVES A DRINK
