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?
GREENFRONT TECHS: Everyone into position! Come on, move.
GREENFRONT TECHS: Some time this year if possible. Thank you.
GEARS GRINDING
Hi.
We were wondering who the last four were.
SPEAKER: 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.
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?
OK. It's like we're inside a fake version of the camp, but it's safe
and amazing, and we can imagine anything we want
and it will just appear.
You know what I was thinking?
Are these virtual clothes or our real clothes?
Am I technically naked?
I swear, if you imagine yourself naked,
if you put that in my brain...
Can we get on with this? What are we meant to be doing?
Over here.
Are we supposed to pick one or something?
How do we do that?
Wait. Wait. We want to get this right.
The cube? The pyramid, maybe?
The diamond.
The diamond?
What is that?
Meg, don't get too close to it.
Meg!
Over here.
What just happened?
Careful.
It sends us to another part of the camp, further away each time.
You all right?
We're supposed to stop it.
How?
Imagine it's not real.
What do you mean? What are you doing?
It's not working!
That thing is counting down.
Fisher said that we need to work together.
How do we work together when we're NOT together?
I think that's the point.
Imagine it as something else, like we did the pizza.
What pizza? I wasn't there.
You're not listening to me. I don't know what to do.
We need to try and stay together.
I'm trying. I was in the shower.
You were having a shower? I wasn't HAVING a shower.
I didn't think, "Oh, I've got a bit of a sweat on,
"I'll go and have a wash."
What if it puts us in the lake or somewhere we could get hurt?
It's just a test, Meg, no-one's going to get hurt.
This is SO annoying.
Urgh!
We're running out of time. How many times has someone been hit?
What? I don't know.
It's doubling up. 20 feet, 40 feet, 80 feet.
The eighth time it hits us, that's like, half a mile.
Imagine it's something else.
Kaz isn't here. I'm coming.
We all have to think of the same thing,
but it has to be really specific.
That's not possible. It is if we work as a group.
I don't know how to do that.
It's easy. I don't know how to do that!
Bad luck. What did you pick?
Er, the shape? The diamond.
Diamond's the hardest.
No-one's ever beat diamond.
If you decide you want to stay here, I suggest you spend a day or so
in there getting your act together.
These kids need to trust us, Mal,
to know we're on their side.
Then we should have told them everything.
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?
We don't know.
We don't have all the answers.
We should try again.
As for the reason you're here...
..the point to the game?
To find the four kids who are worthy.
We just had some bad luck.
Oh, is it pick the funny shape time?
Poor Louis, I feel sorry for you, I really do.
So desperate to get those answers to what's out there,
and the only way to find out is to win a game,
and you're stuck with us, it's actually funny.
I think we could win.
Those other groups look right together,
they have things in common.
We're a mess, we've always been a mess.
Me and Meg are leaving tonight.
No. We all go or we all stay.
We don't split up.
We're family.
We'll never win with Meg,
you know that, she can't do this.
She saved us. She loves us.
Look, I'm tough, you're driven.
Glen's up for the adventure.
But, Meg...
We have to leave, Louis.
Louis?
Where are you going?
Louis! Where are you going?
Why are we running?
Louis!
I've had it with running today, my legs are killing me.
I...I thought I saw Bea.
You didn't, not really.
Believe me, I know.
You know, I'm not stuck here with you.
I don't want to be without you,
but I HAVE to know who put us here and why.
Look, Louis, we've been through this.
THUD
What was that?
I don't know.
Come on, help me.
I'm not a little girl,
I know you all think it.
No... Maybe.
I just realise how much I've missed.
You were all in here all that time.
It doesn't make sense. How can I be sat here?
You get used to it.
I don't know if I can.
I met a girl in here.
She was nice.
She was a part of me, I think.
A nice part.
If all of this and everything in it,
if it comes from our imaginations, how can it be a bad place?
A floating diamond attacked us.
You should've seen the robot.
Is this real?
I think so.
Maybe like a maintenance area?
The Alternate's a physical place, I knew it.
It sends us here.
Up there is where everything happens,
but, down here, that's where it powers it, it has to be.
That hum...
..it's the machine.
Louis?
What?
Where are we?
Why did they choose you?
What makes YOU so important?
We don't know.
As for the reason you're here.
The point to the game?
To find the four kids who are worthy.
The four who will save the world.
To find the four kids who are worthy -
the four who will save the world.
