But on Xerxes' platform

Dearest Notebook of all!

After the Farzads left we decided to go to one of the Oil Rigs where Xerxes was not on. While climbing a big ladder we suddenly heard some weird noise in the distance. It turned out to be big flying machines! They were pretty far away, and Bolt was mentioning some letters that were on them... e... l.. y... s... i... u... m... Elysium!

We quickly found cover, and the flying machines didn't seem to come closer. From the Farzads we understood that Elysium was their enemy. And Mimir also!

While we waited till the machines were gone a man in a weird black rot suit found us. He told us his name was Ronald, and turned out to be more normal (not 3 years old like the Farzads, and no similar looking persons).

We explained why we were here, and I don't think he would mind if we took care of Xerxes. He lead us to another place, and while walking there I asked about his rot suit. It turned out not to be a rot suit, but a suit meant for diving in the water. They even had a way to breathe while underwater?

The room he lead us to had chairs, a table, some crates with grub, and maps! I quickly looked at them, and found a way to explain to Ronald where we came from.
Soon after a woman joined us, she was called Lona. One of the doctors! I asked her a lot of questions, and soon she explained a device she was earing was called a "stethoscoop". A device which allowed her to listen to someone's heart! And I could try it out, it was amazing... It was like I was inside someone, and my ear was next to the heart?!!

We also learned a bit more about Noatun. It was a dome under the water filled with breathable air, and they all came from there. Also Lona was convinced that the boat (that was now 3 months late) would still come. Ronald was less convinced about that... Maybe the dome even collapsed? But the only one that might know more about that would be Xerxes

Also they had no mutations like us.. were they ancients? About those mutations, Lona was really curious about it, and wanted to investigate us. So Rianna made Lona dance! And Finn made her very happy about it afterwards!

I asked more information from Lona, how did she heal people? did she had things written down? She pointed me to a big book called "Medical Diagnosis & Treatment". I took some time to look it in, it was very complicated and had a lot of terms that didn't make any sense to me. It was from 2057. But there wasn't much more time to read in it. Lona told me that if I wanted to read more I should go to the library... A library, I learned it was a room full of books?!! But it was on Xerxes's oil rig. Another reason to go there!
Bolt who apparently disappeared was now back. He found 2 persons which turned out to be technicians: Scarlett and James. Since it was getting dark Ronald and Lona left us and we could eat some of they grub if we wanted.

Then the discussion about what next took place. It was us and the Farzads. I still wanted to help them, but Lincoln had apparently changed his mind. He didn't saw the Farzads as real humans anymore, and thought they had a good life? Also he was afraid if we got rid of Xerxes that they would not be able to produce oil without them. How many oil do we even need, there should be plenty of barrels here!

But it also became clear the Farzads didn't know all. After asking if Xerxes was really a machine, or just part-machine they were not even sure?! Still, we should make sure they were treated as humans, and not "killed" as soon as they were not able to do their job anymore. Not that that was mentioned in those words, but it was pretty clear... "broken" Farzads were never seen again by anyone...



Love,

Octavía
