[Creature screams]

I CALLED IN THE MINUTE

I HEARD THAT NOISE.

I THOUGHT TO MYSELF,

"SOMETHING'S BREAKING

OUT THERE.

"THERE'S SURE

SOMETHING BREAKING."

SO I COME OUT:

TO SEE WHAT IT WAS.

AND THERE IT WAS.

WHY WEREN'T YOU

OUT HERE?

THE LOCK HAS:

AN EMERGENCY RELEASE.

YOU COULD'VE

STOPPED IT.

LISTEN, COMMANDER,

I WAS ONLY DOING

WHAT THEY TOLD ME.

I DIDN'T KNOW

YOU WANTED TO FOLLOW IT.

YOU DIDN'T?

THANKS, ANYWAY.

I KNOW HOW:

YOU FEEL,

BUT IT WASN'T

HIS FAULT.

TWILL?

FOR PROPOSITION 14-A,

THE ONE THA WAS DEFEATED,

AND THERE WAS:

THIS FOLDER.

AND IN:

THE FOLDER,

THERE WAS:

THIS MAP.

I REMEMBERED IT:

BECAUSE MRS. DE

FAUNA DE PORTO:

HAD ASKED ME:

TO TAKE CARE OF IT,

AND THEN SHE:

PASSED ON.

I TOLD YOU ABOUT IT,

DIDN'T I?

A VERY:

GREAT LOSS.

FAUNA DE PORTO FAMILY

SETTLED THIS VALLEY.

A MOST:

DISTINGUISHED FAMILY.

IS THIS A RIVER?

NO. BUT THE INDIANS

DUG WELLS ALONG THERE,

APPARENTLY.

IN SPANISH,

OF COURSE,

"THE WELLS OF LIFE."
