[intercut between witness statements]
Rebecca : We heard that someone had discovered something, a process... a way to bend time.
Paul : A rumor, at best. At worst, a trap. But... we didn't hesitate. You have to understand, we had no other option. We were... an endangered species.
Thomas : Not a war. An extermination.
Paul : A holocaust unlike the world has ever known.
Hannah : My dad paid someone to get me past the checkpoints. It was everything he had.
Thomas : The whole process at the site was rushed. People were saying that the plan had been exposed. There was no time to organize or plan. It was...
Paul : Chaos. No one knew where we'd end up.
Hannah : The Long Peace, early 21st century, that's all they told us. A better time.
Kate : They packed us onto the platform and took us into the ground. The... "threshold" is what they called it.
Caleb : And when it stopped, we were in some type of cave, you know? There were families, kids. Everyone was scared.
Hannah : And then the sound started. It was like cracks of thunder over and over.
Thomas : And then...
Paul : Suddenly...
Rebecca : I couldn't breathe, and it was dark and freezing.
Paul : To even realize that we were underwater... took, uh... crucial moments.
Hannah : A lot of people drowned before they even realized where they were.
Leah : My mom kissed me, then she was gone.
