>> So while no one knows exactly when this site came to be, we do know around 200 million years ago animals roamed the land and plants grew everywhere.

>> We had dinosaurs back then.

>> Eventually the animals disappeared.

>> Where did they all go?

>> They became extinct, died off.

Here, 100 million years later, our site was covered with water by a huge flood.

The mud and sediment from the flood covered the remains of the plants and animals.

Fifty million years later, they turned into something very surprising.

>> What was so surprising?

>> Millions and millions of years went by.

Then, about 100 years ago, an explorer named Frixie Eckerd showed up.

She didn't really know what she was looking for, but she and those who came with her knew they had found a cyber site no one else had ever been to, and they found something else, too.

♪♪ ♪♪ She called it Frixite and named the site Eckardia after herself.

I'm proud to say Frixie was my great-grandma.

>> Incredible.

>> Awesome.

>> She's the reason I stayed.

I'm hoping to bring Eckardia back to life in her honor.

>> Back to life?

>> So 5 years after Grandma Frixie's discovery, about 95 years ago, others found out about Frixite and came here from all over Cyberspace.

They pumped the Frixite out of the ground as fast as they could.

>> Wait.

Time out.

What exactly is Frixite?

>> An extraordinary fuel that powered everything.

We used it to heat homes, turn on lights, run vehicles, and everyone thought the supply was endless.

And it seemed to be for a long, long time.

>> So what went wrong?

>> Ten years ago, the wells began to dry up.

It was clear then that Frixite was a non-renewable resource.

>> Non-renewable?

>> A natural resource that exists in a fixed amount.

That means there's only so much of it, and it can't be replaced for a really, really long time.

>> Like millions of years.

>> Exactly, but nobody believed it until all the Frixite was gone, and sure enough, by 5 years ago, it was all gone.

And so was everyone else.

>> How sad.

>> Except you.

>> Yeah, except me.

I know the others will come back even without Frixite.

I just need to find a way.
