A Crowd of Tourist emerges from the plane, they all have cameras, sunblock, and Hawaiian shirts. They look almost shocked when they realize where they were, they where really in Maryland. People start staring at them as a man that his friends call B. starts yelling to the wind about a captain's bad joke. A young man was distracted by his phone having a notification: "1 new voicemail from: Zubia, Time 2:00pm"

"Remember the manual. Just sending a message back to ourselves changes the time loop, plus, we still don't know when the loop starts, just when it ends." "But, we got the message when we arrived" said Zubia " I know, but our phones were off on the plane, so we could have gotten it in the air, making that the looped time starting point. For now we know at 1459 relative time, time resets."
