[[An astronomy building is surrounded by trees. Inside it, someone is talking.]]
Because of low oxygen, astronomers working at high altitude telescopes may need to write down their plans ahead of time while at sea level.
Astronomer: Ok, let's head up to the observatory.
[[Astronomers are in a van, driving swiftly up a hill.]]
Astronomer: When we reach the summit, we'll check the iodine cell and do a general calibration.
Second astronomer: Sounds good.
[[The van reaches the top of the hill and parks in a flat area, near some telescope domes. The astronomers are still inside it.]]
Astronomer: My head feels funny.
Second astronomer: Look at those telescope domes.
Astronomer: Maybe we should tape them down.
[[The voices of the astromers have moved into one of the telescope domes.]]
Second astronomer: Haha, look at this mirror! My face is huge!
Astronomer: I see your face in the telescope! I discovered you!
Second astronomer: Let's make out!
