Ben and James take the morning ride back to airfield on the day to return the hover plane to the US authorities. After a coffee, they are received at the Air Base conference center to be waved off by the High Command.

James mounts the stairs at the rear of the plane and waits for Ben to arrive in the cockpit. Instead Michelle joins James and asks where exactly are they going? Before James can reply, the plane rises off the ground and hovers over the base in the sunshine. The screen goes dark as Michelle screams at Ben to know where they are. Finally, above all the noise outside, Ben replies they are hovering 300 feet above the ocean in mid-Atlantic.

James orders Ben to change the co-ordinates to Janet’s old house in the Caribbean and make a time jump back to March 2020 - the start of the pandemic again. The screen goes black and that’s a wrap. We hope you enjoyed listening to the show.

Lucy now an Overseas student has joined Oxford University, just before the comet arrives and they become much needed friends. Two days later, the lights go out and everything electronic no longer works. Michelle decides they need to get to higher ground, to an airbase where her father worked, in the Chiltern hills.
