Max, Anna Goanna, and Tubba Tintye are deep in the nothing, on the trail of Savannah and the other leavers.

Beyond Thunderdome Minute 59 - A mighty wind

,
BeyondThunderdome-Banner059.jpg

The chorus of shouting children swells as Max struggles to get a word in edgewise. Finally, Slake calls for the others to be quiet and Max has a chance to explain that the images in the picture slides are no more, wiped away by calamity and that they are better off staying in The Crack in the Earth. Max punctuates this by reiterating that he isn’t Captain Walker and tossing away their makeshift pilot’s cap just as a mighty wind whips into the crevasse, carrying the cap high into the air.

,
BeyondThunderdome-Banner058.jpg

Savannah caps off The Tell by declaring that Captain Walker has indeed returned and revealing the newest addition to the picture wall, a depiction of Max and his simian companion that The Waiting Ones have dubbed Copilot. Unfortunately for them, Max isn’t keen on the title and even though they were mindful and kept an established timeline of their history, he still refuses their adoration. This upsets the children who begin shouting at him once again.
