        Mason tells Dixon that they should share a portrait on one side
of a medallion as a reward for discovering a planet.

        The imaginary journey of Mason and Dixon further west continues,
They approach the Rocky mountains and find Indians whose languages
nobody in their party understands. They continue west in spite of certain
fame and fortune if they return east.  They are both enjoying the idea
of fortune, being King's astronomers and having servants. But they are
unable to stop going west. They know it's their only opportunity.

        Once they finally turn back east, they run into people who are
not happy to see them again. A young married couple argue in their
presence. The wife and mother-in-law get into a fight.

        In another town a mythical beast is terrorizing the residents,
but only on one side of the line.

        At times they have to sneak east because the people of a town
only want to know that they went west. They find that few people care
about the newly discovered planet.

        Finally they arrive back to the starting point of the line, the
Post Marked West. A delegation of scientists is there to greet them.
