..and it might help us move..

Day 7-8
by Bolt

I wake up from a voice in the distance, it's Rianna shouting at someone or something. I'm sure of it! I does not sound like panic, as if she is calling to someone. Octavia is already waking up the rest and we start making our way towards the sound, Octavia tells us Tesla is gone as well. As I see Rianna's new axe still by her sleeping spot I quickly grab it, she might need it. Wow, that thing is heavy! I wonder if I can make it sturdier or add something smart, like weights, to make it swing better.

Apparently they waded across shallow water towards another island and are pulled into some kind of fight with a weird green person and a tree. Things blurred at that time and I cannot remember too much about it, I'm not good in a fight, but I remember we freed Rianna from being eaten by a tree and they told me I actually used her axe to help as well. Also my mouth was dry after the fight so I guess I used my acid glands against someone. And apparently there were two more people here and I noticed Lincoln mumbling something about them tasting like wood. Disgusting!

It took me a while to clear up my mind and I guess I was on autopilot for a bit. I was beside the tree, it was chopped up badly and I Was sitting between a bunch of bones, holding some kind of club and some bullets. IF the club was a weapon it sure was a weird one. Made of metal, long thin flexible shaft and attached to it is a flattened metal stone. This head dimpled as of to interact with something small. I guess the flexibility of the shaft would give the attack an extra swing of strength when hitting something. Though I'm not sure how often it could be used to hit something heavy before it breaks, like a person.

Back to the boat!
We make our way back and continue the night again, a little shaken and little worse for wear. But nothing more happens through the night and we break up camp to continue north again. Why are there twigs in Lincoln's beard and is it more green and alive?

Apparently we are in an area which Tesla already saw from the spire of the building with the person on the cross. Well, this suddenly got mighty interesting! It had mostly boring things, rusted metal fences, chains attached to other metal contraptions, ladders and tubes. Tubes too small and short to be of any use in water systems. But what we found as well was something neat indeed! Two wheels, expertly attached to a metal frame, a chain connecting a middle gear to one of the wheels. This thing was made to move faster than a walk! It would surely make a damn racket, all that metal rolling and it would need something to sit on, but that was fixable indeed!

The rest of the group wasn't that much interested, but the time it took Tesla to complete her search gave me time to have a good look. Though surely not long enough! Back to the boat and back to traveling the river upstream.

Rats
A huge building was near the water's edge as we made our way over the water. Ten stories, but open on all sides, you can see the stairs and the support pillars. Why leave a building open to the wind and weather like this? Who are we to ask anyway? We can't even build a thing like that anymore. I stayed back, the chance of anything interesting in an empty building were small so the others could have a look instead of me.

But before we could get close enough to actually investigate something triggered and all the floors came crashing down in a roar of sound and dust. Squealing and squeaking sounds came from what was left and ugyl big rat like things emerged from the collapsed remains..
