You run up to the raft and jump on it. You grab the woman and her staff, pick her up and jump off onto the grass on the other side of the raft. 

She keeps bonking you on your head, trying to get you to put her down, but in the process, she drops her staff, and the bottom hits the surface.

The ground around you warps, a massive vortex forms around you, and you both fall into it.

The next thing you notice all around you is New York City. This woman is next to you, and she does not look happy. You have travelled in space on Earth.
