Day 3-4

Finding out what was happening on this island was awesome! Too bad these creatures, were in the way. Creatures? Zone Ghouls? Something else? Something definitely was off here, these aren't really people, are they? They stand like us, move like us, they kind of talk like us. At least the others told us that there were others that could talk as well. This is not something The Ancient spoke of to us. Are Zone Ghouls what happen, when these people are affected by The Rot?

I know Lincoln and the others were trying to find a common ground to get us water without having to take control. But I guess i fazed out a little thinking about these new found mysteries. Would it make things a easier if we took over and made these folks disappear. During the negotiations I remember saying something about us bringing more people to take over. But somehow taking those drastic steps didn't really feel right. I want to go back to tinkering! These thoughts should not be disturbing me this much.

I'm glad Lincoln and then others walked out so I could leave as well. I'm not sure if we struck a deal or not, though if I think about it I know there were some statements of trading valued items or weapons for water. How would we even move all that water back to our Ark anyway? I think I would be able to create a raft somehow, though it would take time and I'm not totally sure the river would be a safe place to travel either. Octavia had the brilliant idea of making my dream come through and fix up the armored vehicle I was working on at home. But even with help from others, it would take some time getting that thing to move. If I would actually allow anyone else to work on that. Specially not, that bastard of a Steward! It would give me something to think about though on the way back and I would start up plans when I get back as well.

The way home
It was already later in the afternoon, but we decided to leave straight away. It made both groups happier if we just left this place behind for now. We would be taking the same way back as we got here, except from that Devourer the route was pretty safe compared to the places we didn't know of yet. We would be taking our time to search a bit along the way to see if we could restock some of our water and food and hopefully find some other interesting things as well. We found some grub and water, a single bullet and a weird kind of blue boat. Close hulled, a shape of a leaf and only two holes in what both Octavia and me think are places to sit. It was obviously missing some kind of paddle to move forwards more easily, but that would be pretty easy to fix I would think.

Home
It was the next day when our home finally came into view again. It was a good sight and I had obviously missed this place. I left the others to explain what happened on our adventure and made my way into the ship towards my private space. Hopefully the place was as I left it and my stuff was all still there. I also needed a bath, I was feeling the fatigue from the trip.

But more importantly, I had plans to make and things to build!
