Having died, or almost died, it's not quite clear. Our heroes awaken on a flat white platform in the middle of a salty ocean. The horizon is black, as black as night, even with the sun directly overhead.
As they awaken, it is as if their bodies had only the memories of having moved, each effort to move is an exercise in pain and frustration. Eventually though the body begins to respond, as if memories flood back into it.
Pallet's of equipment are in the center of the pedestal.
