Ca: Marta, una altra investigadora amb qui treballava, era escèptica.
En: Marta, another researcher she worked with, was skeptical.

Ca: "Les teves teories són massa dramàtiques, Laia", li deia.

Ca: "Els ocells ja tornaran.

Ca: La boira apareixia de sobte i el terra era inestable.
En: The fog appeared suddenly, and the ground was unstable.

Ca: Tot i així, va agafar els seus binocles, una llanterna i va passar la nit en una petita cabana prop del riu.
En: Even so, she took her binoculars, a flashlight, and spent the night in a small cabin near the river.

Ca: A mesura que la lluna brillava sobre l'aigua, Laia va sentir sorolls estranys.
En: As the moon shone over the water, Laia heard strange noises.

Ca: Taral·leigs i brunzits mecànics que venien des d'un espai on mai havien estat abans.
En: Murmurs and mechanical buzzing coming from a place where they had never been before.

Ca: Es va apropar amb cautela, el cor bategant apressat.
En: She approached cautiously, her heart racing.

Ca: A la llum tènue, va veure màquines amagades entre els canyissos.

Ca: Al principi, mostraven dubte, però davant de les imatges no van poder negar-ho.
