[A small airplane engine whirring, the washing of waves in the sea. We get closer to the plane, hearing a propeller, then transition to the interior of the cabin. We hear sheets rustling.]

NOOR: [Sleepy, grumpy mumbles]

​

[A 90s-esque digital alarm clock beeping.]

NOOR: [Reacting, grumbling]

[A click, the alarm stops, we hear it topple over as the sheets rustle again.]

NOOR: [Stretching, yawning, not wanting to get up]

[The sheets rustle as Noor sits up. We hear her move, hear a seatbelt click.]

[Music comes in softly - a simple electronic melody of morse-code beeps, moving quickly and rhythmically.]

​

NOOR: (TO HERSELF, SOFT) Ok, let’s fucking do this

[Noor’s voice is a mid-pitch tone with an English, specifically London accent. A handheld radio being switched on]

NOOR: This is Noor. The world ended. [Sigh] Welcome to the Bird Roads.

[A handheld radio being switched off.]

[The music builds, swelling out to an orchestral theme, hopeful and major key, as the morse code melody continues beneath it.Whilst the music plays, we hear Noor flipping switches as she checks in on the plane, huffing and sighing to herself.]

[Then we zoom out, back to the propeller and the exterior of the plane.]

NOOR: (Sighing to herself) Okay

[The theme music continues]

[The theme music swells for a final crescendo.]
