PART 5- A NEW FRIEND ...

_____________________________________

The Ape Prefect and his troops arrive to investigate the crash.

Another good nick in the wing is visible.  Maybe this ship clipped some trees on the way in...

The ape Prefect and his general climb aboard the spacecraft to check for survivors.  The Prefect's son (middle) has chosen to ride back with the search party after informing them of the strange craft.

The apes enter the spacecraft.

The Prefect and his general examine Jones' corpse and the interior of the ship.  Notice there are two more hand holds set into the roof near Jones' head.

The Prefect and his son discuss how humans could be this advanced.  Good detail shot of the flight seat.  Notice the warnings and other instructions on the headrest.

Farrow watches from concealment as the apes rummage through the ship.

Farrow, sure he hasn't been seen, carries Virdon away from the crash site and to safety.

Farrow drags Virdon the rest of the way into an abandoned, long ago forgotten fallout shelter that Farrow calls "home".

Burke is already here, still unconscious, resting on some blankets.

Farrow shuts the door to the hidden shelter...

Farrow wipes down Virdon with a cold, wet rag in order to try to bring him around.

The Prefect gives orders to bury Jones and sends his troops to ride off looking for the other two astronauts and also to send word to Ape City.

Delirious, Virdon talks in his unconscious state.  Farrow listens to details of the last hours of Virdon's mission but these words mean little to Farrow.  Farrow leaves to get the humans something to eat.
