Who knows what we will find

Day 2
by Bolt

We made our way towards a quiet room and I immediately sat down in a corner to examine my new prize. This suit was awesome! I am convinced it will protect us from the Rot at levels nothing I had seen before. Though getting into it was a drag and walking around was even worse. With the hood and mask sight was a lot less and getting holes in it due to a tumble or a fight was a waste.

I don't need that much sleep and time was better spent on making stuff instead of sleep. We decided to divide the night watch among us all and I fell asleep on top of the rot suit making sure no one took it away from me. I trusted most of the group but what if something happened in the night or Flux decided it was his personal toilet. I was going to find out how small I could make it and decide on a good place on my body tomorrow.

I was rudely awakened by shouting voices. Something was happening, who's watch was it anyway? Lincoln, Rianna, Finn and Flux seemed to be missing from our hiding place. The rest of us made our way towards the stairwell, something was happening downstairs. They were in the middle of a fight with Zone Ghouls it seemed. I hate those things, they moved a lot like us, the seemed a lot like us, but they sure as hell were not like us. No real speech, totally wrapped in cloth and always moving it seemed randomly through the wilds. At least that what they told me, I've seen some in the past, but I made sure I was as far as possible away from them. I even had to leave some grub behind when I had to make my way scarce when I was playing around with my armored vehicle. The food was gone when I got back the next time, and not even a thank you note! Not that I could have read it anyway.

Flux was in a bad shape when I got there and Rianna and Lincoln were already swinging their bats with grace and style. This was not the time to run away, but I wasn't going to jump in the middle if I could help myself. I made sure Rianna was mostly between me and the creatures and moved around to distract and harry them into Rianna's spiked bat. The dog was in a bad shape, but after it got behind our defensive row we made quick work of the situation. Why was Flux behind those creatures anyway? Something must have happened, bugger beast, but death wasn't what I want for him.

The rest of the night was quiet and I had some dark time left to repair Lincoln's bat, guess he hit one of those creatures a little bit too hard. I made sure I ate my grub and drunk enough water. I was still feeling bad from the room with the suit environment, but cleaning myself was not worth the water I think. We didn't have too much grub and water for this whole trip, how do those stalkers take care of themselves going outside. I would have to trust Tesla taking care of us for that the following days.

We made our way away from the building with all the corpses, I wasn't going to miss that building. Slowly we were moving through area that had less and less ravage of buildings. The road was still good but the buildings made way for murky water and low growth of some kind of flora I had not seen before. Ruined buildings aren't generally friendly and fun, but at least in buildings you can find interestings things to use in creations.

Tesla told us we were making good time anyway, at least until we had to take a longer route. In the distance we could see some kind of horrid creature. I've heard stories told of what I saw and told the rest what I knew about the Devourer we spotted. It was enormous and rumored to eat people whole! Luckily we were downwind and it didn't sense us, not that we knew it even had a nose to smell us. But we made our way safely further along our route to the Pure Plant.

The water got bigger and according to Tesla we should be close to our destination. Me personally, I had no idea where we currently were and I was sure I had no way of ever getting back without her help. We came upon an island of some sort, and there were buildings of some kind on it. Looked nothing like the buildings I was use to, no windows for one. They seemed like very large cylindrical towers, broad and far too smooth compare to the buildings I know. Also there was some kind of tower, far too slim to keep standing up straight. It looked broken in parts and I don't think it had a long life left as a tower.

I offered to make a raft to get us to the other side and started to look around for good material to build one. I was making good headway when I suddenly got the feeling people were shouting for me to follow instead of continuing my work. Unfortunately we were not going to need a raft after all, the water was only shallow and we could make our way across easily. I was already way behind actually, guess they had been calling my name more than once before I noticed.

On the island we found tracks of people and a dog. Tracks weren't my specialty but the others said these must be of our missing people. Lincoln was definitely eager to quicken up our search. After following a while the tracks spread out suddenly as if something happened to them. I had no idea which to follow and this place surely did not feel safe. The decision were to go was easily made when Finn heard another dog in the distance and he decided that was the way to go.

Let's go find them!
