SFX: clopping of hooves
CAMPER #1: Is that the one we heard about?
CAMPER#2: Which one, the one with the headphones?
SAMANTHA: Yes, that's the one. But be mindful. They can hear us.
CAMPER #1: But not see us! You know what would be funny?
CAMPER #2: (giggling) I dare you. . .
SAMANTHA: Knock it off!
CHILON: Quiet everyone. (to listener) Hello. Yes. You with the headphones. Please, step away from the desk and move toward the pool in the center of the room. We have much to do.
CAMPER #1: Yeah, like lava climbing walls, sword fighting, archery.
CAMPER #2: Ha! You couldn't hit a cyclops if it was lookin' you in the eyeball!
CAMPER #1: Could so! (Fighting)
SAMANTHA Here we go again.

CHILON: I am Chilon, athletics director at Camp Half-Blood. I'm communicating through your headset because it's safer for you this way. If certain people saw a centaur walking around they might…suspect something.
SAMANTHA: (quietly) ** That's an understatement.
CHILON: So pretend you're just an average ordinary visitor gazing into that pool of water instead of – well, we'll get to that. First things first. If you're up for taking the stairs, press A. For ramps and elevators press B on your player now.
