I came to this camp because of some mystery my Dad was trying to solve before he died.
If we don't do this soon, the government,
they'll take it away from us,
and we'll never find out what's through the light.
What just happened? Where did everyone go?
They weren't real.
They put us inside a fake version of the camp. Why?
This is bigger than all of us.
What's behind the red door?
Well, that's something you're gonna have to see for yourself.
You're the best friends I've ever had.
Carrie, there isn't much time!
Focus. What is it?
The cube, again, really?
Blame Yasmin, she picked it. Let's get this over with.
Concentrate. What is it?
The sound it's making, it's...like it's ticking?
Like a...like a clock.
No! An alarm clock.
Better. What kind of alarm clock?
The digital ones? Or the old metal ones...
Concentrate. Be specific.
Metal one...
..with that annoying ticking that keeps you up
and you can't sleep, no matter how hard you try.
Yeah. Go with that.
TICKING
It's not working. Focus!
I am!
TICKING GETS LOUDER
Come on, come on, come on.
ALARM CLOCK RINGS

You almost didn't make it there, Maeve.
I'm not sure if Emma is a positive influence.
Shut up, Dev.
What's all the fuss about? What's going on?
Everyone into position! Come on, move.
Some time this year if possible. Thank you.

Hi.
We were wondering who the last four were.
We have all players present.
Time to start the game.
I know. It's a lot to take in.
We've all been here over a week.
Four of them? How can there be four of them?
I'm Maeve.
That's Carrie, Emma, Yasmin.
You coming?
Maeve likes to play big sister. Don't you, Maeve?
Fisher, he told us we were the only ones.
I don't think he said that.
Well, he might have dropped the news there's a big alien Artefact party
going on that we're late for.
Welcome to the madhouse.
You thought it was just you four, right? We all did.
Kind of blows when you realise you're not the only chosen ones.
Greenfront felt, if we were going to be here,
they might as well make it habitable.
Mealtimes - 12 and five.
Um, there are fresh clothes.
Hopefully we can find something that matches...your style.
OK, I'm sure you're very nice,
and it's lovely that you've taken the time,
but, if you don't start explaining what is going on here,
I'm going to lose it in your direction.
We're all here to play a game.
A game? Is that what that announcement was about?
I'm Isabel.
Jay's group were the first...
..then Maeve's, then us.
Greenfront didn't want to have to say it over and over,
so they made a video explaining everything.
We're not staying. Kaz. Kaz is right, we should go.
No. We agreed to see what was behind the red door.
I didn't agree to this, whatever this is.
Almost...
I've got it. Luca?
Welcome. I'm Charlotte.
Why are you here? You have been chosen by an alien intelligence
to take part in a contest...a game.
And they chose us, Greenfront, to help you through it.
The game consists of four challenges
held within each of the Artefacts' four locations.
On failing a challenge, a group will be returned home...safely.
Why did they choose you? What makes you so important?
Kaz. We don't know. What are you doing?
Where is she?
Charlotte?
Where is she?
Sit down.
Sit down.
We're not forcing you to be somewhere you don't want to be.
This is a lot nicer than the room you had me locked up in.
And...no suit? That's not who we are.
You should have told us there were more of us. We trusted you.
You needed to see it with your own eyes. You're lying.
You needed us to walk through that door and to play some game.
A game for what?
Our job is to bring you all here because it could make a difference.
It's more than just a game.
Maybe we will leave.
You're sure that's what you all want?
I put my life on hold to be here,
my job...my family...
..because I believe in this.
Cos I believe you're special.
Am I wrong?
CHATTER
If I have to eat any more couscous...
This is what happens when you get kidnapped by environmentalists.
We haven't been kidnapped.
Greenfront are probably just as trapped here as we are.
We're not trapped either. I actually want to be here.
The way they lit up like that,
do you think the Artefacts knew they were here?
I hate wearing these things. What do you think they do?
Why are you asking her? Because I'm smart.
You've got a flash drive stuffed up there, you can't be that smart.
They let you keep that?
They don't know I have it, Kai.
Charlotte said they're always listening...
that the Artefacts hear, like, everything.
Like Dev's snoring?
What are they like?
The new group?
Erm... I don't know.
They're...confused...
..just like we were.
What are they LIKE?
Could they win?
They're going in!
What are we...what are we supposed to do?
The first challenge is in three days.
Until then, you train...
..in there.
These are to keep a check on you while you're here.
I never said I'd do this.
We've come this far.
Give it a day. You hate it and we go.
Everyone's looking at us. It'd be embarrassing if we didn't.
Go on. I'm Monika.
We gave ourselves group names.
We're CtrlAlt.
Maeve's group are Phoenix, Jay's Landslide.
We're Dragonfly.
You add your symbols in here.
Just makes things easier.
Work together...
..it's the only way.
Keep an eye on her. It's her first time in the Alternate.
Meg, come on.
None of this is real.
I kind of miss it.
This camp or the real version?
Well, this version did try to destroy us, like, three times.
But that's not going to happen now.
How can this not be real?
