FOLLOWING THE MORNING TIDE Episode 5

Episode: 5

Episode 5 recap

Mara Vance and her spherical robot companion examine the bio-adhesive residue on the cliff wall. They identify how the color system works for climbing footholds. Mara and the robot ascend by stepping on the blue pads. A small translucent creature latches onto the robot during the ascent. The pads cycle colors faster, forcing them to speed up. They reach the plateau summit safely, where the robot alerts Mara to dropping oxygen levels.

Episode 5 Scene by Scene

  1. 00:00: Studying the Adhesive Cliff Footholds

    Mara Vance and her robot inspect adhesive marks on the rock wall. They test the spots left behind by climbing creatures. Mara notes blue spots hold weight, the robot marks purple as transitional, and white spots lose their grip completely.

  2. 00:28: Climbing the Shifting Rock Wall

    Mara and the robot climb upward by stepping onto blue footholds. A translucent creature jumps and clings to the robot. The pads change color rapidly, so Mara and her robot hurry their pace to stay on sticky spots before they turn white.

  3. 00:58: Reaching the High Plain Summit

    Mara and the robot haul themselves up onto the flat plateau edge. They look across an open field filled with alien plants and grazing beasts. Right as they take in the view, the robot sounds an environmental alert about the air.
