(Zane is tending to the Land Bounty while the team are stranded on the rock.)
Jay: (Inside the Land Bounty with Nya and Styx) Ugh, vultures. That's never a good sign.
Zane: (On Communications) They are carrion birds. It is a sign they believe we are a potential meal...
Jay: (Sarcastically) Oh, thanks, Zane. Way to boost morale.
Styx: No kidding.
Nya: Can you guys keep it down? I'm trying to reach Pixal on the radio. Come in. P.I.X.A.L.? Can you hear me? Mayday, mayday! Come in, P.I.X.A.L..
Lloyd: (Walks up to them with Crystal holding a box) Any luck?
Nya: Nothing. There's something wrong with the long-range transmitter, but I can't figure out what.
Crystal: Okay, well... don't give up.
Nya: Ugh. I'll try.
(Lloyd and Crystal join Cole and Kai outside, carrying supplies.)
Lloyd: And that's the last of it.
Kai: That's not good.
Crystal: You're telling me, less than a day's supply of water.
Cole: And the ATV and the Dune Bounty are wrecked. And the Rock Cycle isn't fast enough to outrun those beetles!
Kai: Well, even if it could, it would only carry one of us.
Lloyd: Maybe Nya could draw some water out of the air?
(The four look out at the very dry desert)
Crystal: Yea.........no.
Cole: In this heat? Low humidity? I don't think so. (They turn to the sound of Jay carving a rock.)
Kai: Jay, what are you doing?
Jay: Carving a message on this rock.
Crystal: Why?
Jay: So people know who we are when they find our bones!
Lloyd: (Cole facepalms) Can we try to be a little more optimistic, please?
Zane: I'm afraid there's little cause for optimism. Our situation is dire. The Bounty's engine will not start without the Thermolytic Inverter.
Cole: The therma-what?
Zane: It is a critical engine component.
Kai: Well, what's wrong with it?
Zane: It is missing. I believe Beohernie ripped through the hull.
Jay: Bernie.
Zane: (Ignores Jay) He tore that component out and swallowed it.
Jay: Ugh. Well, that's just great! First, a giant beetle tries to eat us alive. Then, we smash into a pile of rocks. (Storms off, complaining, while the ninja keep talking.)
Lloyd: Can't we use the ATV's converter?
Zane: It was also damaged.
Crystal: What about the Rock Cycle's converter?
Zane: It isn't adequate for a vehicle the size of the Dune Bounty.
Jay: Useless pile of (Kicks a rock.) unh! Aw, this stinks! (Kicks again, accidentally hurting his foot. Rock tumbles, alerting Beohernie.)
