Speaker 1: Avery, get up there on the ballant get ready. We
Speaker 1: only have one shout that paddle, Morgan, Jack wait for
Speaker 1: my direction.
Speaker 2: Okay, got it.
Speaker 3: Here's your fears, every here's your fears.
Speaker 4: Come on, Avery, I guessing we don't have all day
Speaker 4: out here.
Speaker 1: Jack.
Speaker 2: I don't see you out there trying to balance on
Speaker 2: top of this boat.
Speaker 5: You've got this, Avery, just hold on with one.
Speaker 2: Hand while you push off with the paddle.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, now's my moment. Doesn't seem like I'll be making
Speaker 3: a name for myself with grades or working class more,
Speaker 3: even the fact that I'm actually two years ahead in
Speaker 3: science school work. Of all the things I actually feel
Speaker 3: confident doing, and this is where I end up on
Speaker 3: the top of a boat, stuck on a rock. So far,
Speaker 3: this whole camp thing hasn't proven to be worth.
Speaker 6: It at all.
Speaker 1: Okay, everyone, get ready on three one, two, three and
Speaker 1: push the pedal. It's fine. Now you're saving a broken paddle.
Speaker 1: We're off the rocks and just get down from there.
Speaker 1: We got places to be in on the facts.
Speaker 3: Fine. To be honest, seems to me like a whole
Speaker 3: lot of focus on anything and everything but marine biology.
Speaker 3: I just wonder what my parents would think of all this,
Speaker 3: And I'm starting to think there might be some other
Speaker 3: reason for this whole camp to begin with searching diving awards,
Speaker 3: basically no education before sending us out. I just don't
Speaker 3: have the best feeling about it all. Can I really
Speaker 3: be the only one feeling this way?
Speaker 1: Now? To make up for our slight detour, I'll cut
Speaker 1: right to the chase.
Speaker 6: Listen closely.
Speaker 1: I'll be giving you a quick run. Now, gear up,
Speaker 1: tank goes on your back, regulator in your shake, your games,
Speaker 1: your air, and plate your BCD slowly.
Speaker 2: What in the world is a BCD?
Speaker 4: Don't know?
Speaker 1: Be sure to follow me closely. We do not want
Speaker 1: anyone wandering off down there. Watch buoyancy, keep an eye
Speaker 1: on your air, and stay calm.
Speaker 6: Got it?
Speaker 1: Wait, never mind, Okay, let's move.
Speaker 3: Equally terrifying and exciting is how I describe diving. I
Speaker 3: just wish I could figure out why Hayes is in
Speaker 3: such a big hurry. Wait, what is he doing? He's
Speaker 3: taking pictures of a rock.
Speaker 5: What in the world?
Speaker 3: Wait, he's axing off that rock? Makes me think of
Speaker 3: what they did after Hurricane Katrina last year, when they
Speaker 3: marked off the empty houses. They already searched strange.
Speaker 2: So Jack, what do you do think about this whole
Speaker 2: scuba diving thing? And how did a goofa like you
Speaker 2: get into this camp? Anyways?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it makes me feel pretty excited that I won
Speaker 4: the lottery lottery. Yeah, not all of us got in
Speaker 4: with test scores. You know, my mom entered me. We
Speaker 4: spent the school year learning all things ocean, and when
Speaker 4: she found out about this camp, she entered me in
Speaker 4: the lottery and we held on to hope.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, how did you spend a whole year on
Speaker 2: marine biology? We spent like two weeks tops on it
Speaker 2: at my school. And how exactly did you win the lottery?
Speaker 2: Did you win a game or a raffle? Did you
Speaker 2: find a magic ticket or something?
Speaker 4: Well, their lottery was pretty simple. I put my name
Speaker 4: on a card and they pulled out three tickets and
Speaker 4: mine was one of them. As for the marine biology
Speaker 4: all year, I'm homeschool.
Speaker 3: Your homeschool too, And I thought I was the only one.
Speaker 4: Boom schoolers through went through put it here right ruent through,
Speaker 4: I guess, yeah, for sure. Never thought i'd meet people
Speaker 4: with much in common. Now I'm out here diving for
Speaker 4: treasure with a bunch of swim team homeschoolers.
Speaker 2: Ooh, whoa treasure? And I'm not homeschooled, just Avery, Wait.
Speaker 3: You think we're actually trying to find something valuable down there?
Speaker 4: Who knows? It's fun to dream, right, This professor dude
Speaker 4: is totally looking for something, and from the sounds of it,
Speaker 4: all these guys here are huh.
Speaker 2: I never a thought of treasure. Wouldn't that be something?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Maybe?
Speaker 3: But I still can't shake the feeling that we can't
Speaker 3: trust this place. Didn't you guys see what Professor Hayes was.
Speaker 2: Doing down there?
Speaker 4: Yeah, taking pictures of the rocks.
Speaker 3: He was exing them off, like someone does when they're
Speaker 3: trying to keep track of places they've searched.
Speaker 2: Already, call me crazy, you, but it just feels like.
Speaker 3: There's some hidden agenda or secret with this place.
Speaker 4: Oh no, are we part of some grand conspiracy? Now?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Averrek, come on? Really?
Speaker 3: Maybe? But seriously, like, why are we required to come
Speaker 3: to campfire stories every night? Why does mister Thatch read
Speaker 3: the stories from that old, torn up book? And why
Speaker 3: does the story seem, i don't know, different from your
Speaker 3: normal stories about pirates like Blackbeard the Hero.
Speaker 4: No that you mentioned it. Hey, you over here, you
Speaker 4: do it.
Speaker 2: You go for Pete's sake, Come on, you guys, I'll
Speaker 2: do it. Who's there?
Speaker 6: It's me, Jim, Jim, Jim, the maintenance guy, you know,
Speaker 6: the groundskeeper. Just come over towards the bushes. I don't
Speaker 6: want them to see you. Kids need to listen to me.
Speaker 6: You need to be careful what you say around here.
Speaker 6: You can't just talk like this out in the open.
Speaker 6: Just just keep it down.
Speaker 2: What do you mean, what's going on?
Speaker 6: All I know is that thatch has a real anytime
Speaker 6: I've seen kids start to question his schedule or his plan,
Speaker 6: he just goes off the rails. I gotta go, though.
Speaker 5: Just be careful.
Speaker 3: What was that all about. Why would this guy warn us?
Speaker 4: I don't know, but maybe this conspiracy theory of yours
Speaker 4: actually isn't too far off.
Speaker 2: Agreed, Let's keep our eyes open and no more talking
Speaker 2: in the open like this. Keep this whole thing on
Speaker 2: thedo right.
Speaker 3: Everyone just try and keep their eyes and ears open.
Speaker 3: Let's meet at the edge of camp by that rocky
Speaker 3: hillside tomorrow before lunch. Maybe one of us will have
Speaker 3: something to share by then.
Speaker 4: God.
Speaker 5: Man, So dear campers, let us remember black Beard, the
Speaker 5: noble pirate who fought for justice and freedom on the
Speaker 5: high seas. Black Beard I had once been a sailor
Speaker 5: aboard a merchant vessel, but when his crew was attacked
Speaker 5: by ruthless pirates, he vowed to protect the innocent from
Speaker 5: such tyranny. With his loyal crew, Blackbeard sailed the seas,
Speaker 5: hunting down those who preyed upon the weak and helpless.
Speaker 5: He raided the ships of cruel tyrants, liberating their loot
Speaker 5: and returning it to those who had suffered at their hands.
Speaker 5: His name struck fear into the hearts of evildoers, but
Speaker 5: to the downtrodden he was a beacon of hope. Many
Speaker 5: a tale was told of Blackbeard's daring escapades. Once he
Speaker 5: rescued a group of stranded sailors from a deserted island,
Speaker 5: battling fierce sea monsters and bravery treacherous storms to reach them.
Speaker 5: Another time, he stood against an entire armada of enemy ships,
Speaker 5: his bravery inspiring his crew to fight on against impossible odds.
Speaker 5: But Blackbeard's greatest act of heroism came when he faced
Speaker 5: off against the notary glorious pirate captain Bartholomew Roberts. Roberts
Speaker 5: had terrorized the sea for years, leaving a trail of
Speaker 5: destruction in his wake, but Blackbeard would not stand idly
Speaker 5: by while innocent lives were threatened.
Speaker 3: Blackbeard a hero, barth all of you? Since when is
Speaker 3: that a name for an infamous pirate? Just doesn't add up.
Speaker 3: And what's with that mysterious book that she keeps reading from.
Speaker 3: I just need to get a closer look at that cover.
