The view from the camera is subpar.  Sacha, Daniel and the two quadrupedal aliens are all clustered on the right side of the frame, the left showing only a mound-like stucco dwelling.  The figures are too distant to pick up any sound, but the two aliens can clearly be seen to bend their front legs, lowering their heads to the ground.  One then lifts itself up and rushes further into the village; the other remains prone, perfectly still even as Sacha attempts to communicate.  A few moments later, two more of the creatures emerge from where the other disappeared.  They two lower themselves, then the larger of them raises and begins conversation with Sacha.

After some time, Sacha raises a radio to her lips, and her voice issues from somewhere behind the camera.  "I believe I've managed to communicate that we're returning Goa, not because of a problem with her, but because we don't wish to take slaves."  Her voice twists in clear disgust at the end of that sentence.  "Bring her out, Dr. Curtis."

Josh leads the "princess" from behind the camera to the gathered group.  After some prompting from Sacha, Goa slowly pulls the dress over its head and descends to all fours.  All the humans are quite surprised to realize that what they had presumed to be two species are in fact the same.

After regaining her bearings, Sacha resumes speaking with the aliens.  The film ends shortly thereafter, cutting off the unheard conversation.
