"...It's a shadow."

"No, no, it's shinier than it should be, see?" He walks closer. "Come over here."

...Fine.

He reaches out to touch it, there's a brief flash-

-and they are abruptly elsewhere.

"Pod!" she snaps.

     "Scanning."

They are in the middle of nowhere. Wide, empty, occasionally forested. 

    "Alert: location unrecognized. Maps unavailable."

"What?"

"Iiii don't think we're on Earth any more."

"What?"

"I can't access the network. I'm- not getting any signals at all, actually."

"Then where are we? And what happened?"

"No idea. Running a detailed scan, hang on."

What's the area got to say for itself, besides mostly wide and empty?

There is ground and sky and plants. There are some animals. 

There are two people walking over thataway!

"I've got movement, six aught four."

"Machines?"

"Nnnnoooo, wrong temperature. Also, nonmetallic."

"Androids? Animals?"

"No black box signature... Bipedal, probably mammalian..."

"Let's go check it out!"

"Carefully."

"Worrywart." Towards the probably-humans!

Meanwhile,

Something trips the alert of her stretched out senses. She stops, gives the sign they have for this.

She also stops.
