Helga is questioned by the islands guards, and though theyre suspicious of her story, they agree to let her stay on the island until they find her family. Once shes alone, Helga switches on her clunky, old-fashioned radio, and a mysterious voice praises her for reaching the island and convincing the guards of her innocence.The truth is, its no accident that Helga landed on the shores of Utley. She is a keen inventor, but science and technology are shunned on the Mainland.
