Story Transcript:

Ca: Al bell mig de les muntanyes de Montserrat, on la neu cobria suaument els arbres i el fred era constant, hi havia un laboratori secret.

Ca: Tenia por que l'experiment pogués causar un dany irreversible a l'entorn natural del seu estimat país.
En: She feared that the experiment could cause irreversible damage to the natural environment of her beloved country.

Ca: Tot i així, Jordi va decidir continuar.
