Day 1
by Bolt

Voices. None that mattered though. I'm busy on this shovel, it broke this morning trying while Sabine was trying to dig our cropland.

More voices.. No one important, but I know them. If Sabine has a working shovel it means she can stay near the Ark to work. Instead of going outside to do what she at least she says she's best in, which is getting in danger all the time. She goes outside and brings me tidbits of things I need to make more important equipment.

Louder voices.. Can't people just be quiet and let me work? Was that my name? She's probably break the shovel again soon, she uses it outside as well. Her gun is still holding, but I saw some breakage near the base that will need repair within a week or two. She needs to be safe, I promised I would help with that. Not that I can do much when she is stalking around, but at least I can make sure her equipment is not too broken.

Yes, that's my name again, but this time it's in Rianna's voice. Sounds like she still has her voice under control, can't be that important then. I already spent my morning working on the Ark's defenses, maybe a little more on thinking about those defenses than actually doing much. I think I now where the best spots are to improve our Ark from outside, but good work needs good preparation as well. And I want to go outside, I want to spend time on unraveling the mystery of that armored monstrosity.

"Bolt!", definitely something happened or still happening, guess I should look up and hear what's going on.

Well that was definitely interesting! I know, I know, not very friendly of me, people disappearing is not a good thing. But they left to find the Pure Plant! Lincoln actually thinks it exists, a place with good water. We are in dire need of proper water since our own reserves were turning bad. Algae, or whatever those things in the water are, we are definitely in trouble if we can't use that water anymore.

Lincoln sent part of his crew to investigate, he must really be sure to risk his people like that. His people? Yes I guess. But those are our people as well! We are slowly creeping to dangerous levels of people in this place. Less to feed, but also less to help.

Bad news! Well actually, have to keep the smile of my face, good news as well! Tesla is taking is out there as well! Lincoln is a good guy and so those people need to be retrieved, if at all possible. But the chance of going outside that far from the Ark! The possibility of actually seeing all the interesting things from outside. Deciding myself if the stuff that is lying around there is useful instead of getting what the stalkers think is useful. Oh, Elder! The excitement will probably keep me up this night, working on last minute preparations. I need to finish things so I can leave safely and I need to check all my tools. And, oh yeah, need to grab food and water as well, I Think I have some extra in my stash.

We're going to the Pure Plant, somewhere along the river to the north east they say, though the river sure does not look pure. It should be a little more than week there and back again, though the others have been away for almost two weeks. It's dangerous out there, shouldn't I be more afraid? The excitement is totally overruling the fear. I am ready!

Away we go!
Tesla leads us north east, making our way to a stone spire attached to a big building, the main building used to have a roof I guess, but most of it has fallen down and lies in wreckage inside the building. Tesla says the tower can help us have a look around to see what's around us. That actually makes sense I guess, the more you see, the better preparation. Though I'm sure if I had to make my way through the world alone I'm not sure I would know which way I was looking when I got down again. Yup, definitely going to let Tesla lead the way.

We made our way into the building, which appeared to be a big open room. Rotting wooden benches were either strewn around or set up in rows pointing towards a higher part of the room. Looks like a spot on the raised floor to speak to all the people sitting in the benches. And behind that spot there was a big cross with a person attached to it. Why would anyone do something like that? No mutations on the guy though, too old for mutations? Lived before the trouble started maybe? No clue and actually not really important.

Luckily Rianna thought to bring a rope, the inside of the tower was in a bad state and climbing up there was going to be hard. After a clumsy attempt on climbing up I decided Tesla, Rianna and Finn would be find going up with just the three of them. I stayed in the main room together with Octavia, Lincoln and Flux. Flux.. Finn's little friend, well maybe not that little. That dog was always chewing on my things, couldn't leave anything lying around or the beast was slobbering all over it. Some things he took away and ate whole. What a waste! Though the monster sometimes just lies next to me when I am tinkering with stuff and allows me to pet it. I'm sure it's just doing that to make me like him so he can slobber on my things without me getting angry, or so that I allow him to take what he wants!

Flux followed me around as I made my way to the raised part. Some kind of cubby was made inside the small closed like thing. It held a box with a lock on it. An actual lock! My first prise, it also had the key still inside it and it was in working order. I was so breaking that thing out and taking it with me! Some kind of bowl with dirty stuff was inside, I knocked it out of the box to make sure I didn't get anything on me. The bowl was of a kind of material I didn't actually know, it was yellow and some kind of metal I think and if I cleaned it I think it would shine like metal. Let's just take it with me and find out later if it's of any use.

Octavia found a big book of somekind, she said she couldn't read it, but hey I couldn't read much anyway so that would not make a difference for me. If she's happy with things like that she's not going to be wanting any of the real interesting things.

After a while the others got down from the tower with stories of the view from above. We would be making our way to another big building in the north, another building with a cross. No idea! But I know where to look for possible interesting things in a building like this now. To the north west there was mostly wild growth and mists above murky water. Harder to cross and probably dirtier as well. To the north east there was an interesting big open space between broken buildings, with fences, chains and some kind of scaffolding. A good place to find a wealth of new broken things. But it did not seem to have a good place to sleep the night as we would probably reach the place nearing the evening.

Another building with a cross
This definitely was not the same kind of cross as the building we left behind earlier, it didn't have a person attached to it either. It was also a lot bigger and had no tower like the previous one. A broken down car was standing before it, it also had the same cross on the side. Lot's of interesting cabinets inside, but those were already empty. We made our way inside to search for interesting things and to make sure we had a defendable place to sleep, somewhere on the 5th floor sounds pretty nice!

This place is the absolute worst, it was filled with dead people. Not the ones we normally see, but these were ancient. All but the bones were left of all these people and none of them were taken care of and burned. These must be of before the disaster that struck the world. Octavia verified that the bones were of non mutant and were looking a lot better than ours would look when we died.

We made our way up, I was able to grab small things now and then. They would help me build things, though I didn't have much time available than to make a single extra arrow for Tesla's bow. After a few stairs and hallways we came to a big door, it was far thicker than the others and had a weird big symbol on it. A small circle with three petals around it, some kind of flower maybe? The door was slightly ajar and we could look inside. It smelled awful, but as we looked inside we saw some kind of thick full body orange suit hanging inside.

I looked at Rianna, we shared a quick wordless communication and did one of those exciting, but perchance stupid, things. We rushed inside together, the stench was awful and probably not going to be good for us, we made our quick way to the suit, grabbed it and ran full speed outside again. We slammed the door closed after us and dropped on the ground laughing.

This is awesome! Our adventure has started!
