The next morning, the guys try to figure out how they're going to get the guys out of the ditch. They're not sure if they'll be able to make it, but they've got a plan: They'll send the guys to the top of the hill, where they can see the flare. The guys don't know if they can make it there in time to rescue the guys, but it's a good plan. They can use the battery to power the engine, and then they can use a rope to pull the guys up the hill. They need to get Damian out of there first, though, because the sun's getting too hot for him to stay in the sun all day. They have a map of the spot where the flare went off, and it looks like the guys fell some way. They send the map to Houston to find out if the guys are still alive. They haven't heard from them for two hours, so they'd like to send a buddy and Freddy's beetle to help them out. But the guys say it'll take them a long time to get there, because they's so far away from the spot they were supposed to be. They decide to send the beetle anyway, but not to send it right away.
