Dragons: The Nine Realms

You wanna hear a story about dragons?

Everybody's got a favorite, right?

Attacking villagers, threatening fair maidens,

hoarding piles of gold.

Those stories about dragons that terrorized the Vikings

in the northern seas?

Yeah. Yeah, those are some of my favorites.

Of course,

those stories are just stories , right?

Dragons don't really exist.

They're just... They're just myths a‐and legends.

You know, stuff to scare kids.

But I've got a dragon story you haven't heard.

A story that really happened,

and this story?

This one is my absolute favorite

because this story is mine.

This thing go any faster, Mom?

‐ Any faster, Tom, and the blades will come off.

Okay. Just ahead,

over this row of trees.

You ready for this? ‐ I think you know the answer to that.

Whoa!

The Kullersen Fissure.

How deep is that thing?

It's been scanned to be deeper than the Mariana.

Over seven miles down.

Of course, at that depth, you find poisonous gas,

razor sharp rocks, rivers of lava.

‐ You had me at poisonous gas.

Is that... ‐ Project ICARIS.

‐ No way...

‐ ICARIS 1 on approach.

MAN Come around back, ICARIS 1.

We're just finishing a cargo drop and getting the VTOL outta your way.

‐ Alright. Let's head to the fissure.

Ah! A... hat?

‐ Thomas, how you've grown!

The last time I saw you,

you jumped into the polar bear habitat at the zoo.

What a ruckus!

Hope you learned from that experience.

Dr. Kullersen!

‐ Director Wong. You remember Mrs. Wong.

‐ I remember the hat .

‐ Welcome to Project ICARIS. Follow me.

‐ How are the preparations coming along? ‐ Ah, well,

as with any new project, we've had our little bumps.

You both must be exhausted from the trip.

‐ Ah!

Actually, the earthquakes you mentioned have me concerned.

I'd like to see the data.

That's the Olivia I know and love.

Rest is for the weak.

Thomas!

I'm stealing your mother! My daughter will show you around.

You remember my Jun Bug, don't you?

‐ You two were so cute together when you were 6.

‐ Jun? Uh...

Yeah? Yeah.

‐ Jun, you remember Tom.

When you're done playing with your magical cards,

can you help him find orientation?

‐ They're tarot cards, Mom. They're not magic.

‐ Yes.

And they're showing me a future where you don't reach your potential.

This way, Olivia!

‐ Mom! What about checking out the fissure?

Hey! ‐ Hey yourself.

You look different than I remember.

‐ A lot can change in eight years.

So, uh,

where's this orientation thing supposed to happen?

‐ It'll be in the ICARIS Visitor's Center.

We'll be heading there once the other students arrive.

‐ I'm here, Pops! And I am...

on time!

‐ We're still waiting on one more teen.

‐ Uh, Pops?

‐ Whoa! Where'd you come from?

Alright. Everyone, close order on my son here.

That means shoulder to shoulder! Move!

Okay, we have D'Angelo Baker.

‐ Here! I mean,

you already knew that.

‐ Jun Wong.

‐ Present in this dimensional timeline.

I'm here, too, Phil.

‐ Tom Kullersen.

‐ Yup! I am also here.

‐ Alex Gonzalez.

Sorry, what was that?

‐ Here.

‐ I can't hear you.

She said "here."

‐ Okay.

For those of you who don't know,

I am Security Chief Phillip Baker.

Welcome to Project ICARIS.

International Crevasse and Research Investigation Station.

Your safety orientation begins now.

‐ Your name's Kullersen? Like, named after the fissure?

‐ Actually, it's named after my mom.

She figured out the comet would tear it open.

‐ Yo, that is crazy!

So, you're famous. ‐ More like infamous.

He climbed into a polar bear habitat when he was 5.

Made the local news. ‐ In my defense, the bear looked lonely.

‐ Oh, man.

Polar bears might look cute,

but they can be very aggressive.

‐ Nah. He just needed a friend.

‐ Alright, everybody, simmer down.

Except for you. You're fine.

I like my elevator rides quiet.

On this, the green floor, you'll find our amazing research division.

It is state of the art.

‐ Nice.

Children are not allowed.

‐ Still leaping before you look?

‐ The blue floor is home to our high tech control center and security hub.

The virtual brain of the station.

It is state of the art. Can we...

‐ Children are not allowed.

‐ What's on the red floor?

‐ The hangar.

It's a highly restricted area.

Home to our explorer‐class drone fleet.

It is state of the art.

Children are not allowed.

‐ So, where are children allowed?

The Visitor's Center.

You have three jobs while you're here.

Number one, go to school.

Number two, stay away from the fissure.

And number three, make sure

you stay away from the fissure.

Look all you want, but touch nothing!

When you're done looking, take a seat, and we'll begin your first safety film.

‐ Woo...

Wow.

Whoa...

State of the art.

Huh?

What was that? A drone?

‐ What are you doing out here?

‐ I‐I saw something. It was...

What is that?

‐ Oh no...

Earthquake!

Ah!

‐ Ah!

‐ Get help!

Whoa!

‐ Whoa!

‐ Ah! Not like this! I'm too young!

I have a cat!

‐ Whoa!

‐ Whoa!

‐ We're just... I don't know what we're just... I can't...
