A butterfly with gold Pi markings breaks out and flies low over cracked ground as grass and flowers come back behind it. Then the camera rises, and keeps rising, until thousands of glowing cocoons fill the valley and the cards ask the question: "Pioneers, are you ready?"

It plays as one continuous camera move, with the joins hidden in its path, and the light tells the story: one glowing pod at the start and a whole lit valley at the end.
