Day 3
by Lincoln

We enter the building and we see shadows fleeing up the stairs in the back of a huge hall which takes up almost the entirety of the ground floor. Bolt is immediately attracted to large steel cabinets with numerous buttons and gauges. Finn and Flux investigate the corner to the right, where we can distinguish a winding stairs going up.

Meanwhile the rest of us run towards the stairs at the back. I call for Ava, Ruby and Finley, yelling that Lincoln of the Ark is here. We run up and end up on a floor with a long halfway spanning the building, with rooms on either side. We keep running, quickly scanning each room for my gangmembers.

I spent some more time investigating the room where we suspect that the light came from this night. It's cleaned up better than the other rooms. With a large desk and chair in the middle. Bookcases line the wall and a big notebook and small box can be seen on the desk. No-one to be found though.

Meanwhile Rianna has reached the end of the hallway where she hears rhythmic chanting and other noises. She turns right looking inside the room. About five creatures can be seen in a circle. She enters the room.

The rest of us join her inside. Tesla calls out to them, asking them who Lutrell is. I grab one of them by the scruffs and pin it against the wall. "Where are my friends?!". Octavia tries to calm me down, but even though she was really helpful this morning regaining my focus on the gang, she has to back down now. One of the smaller creatures grabs my leg, but I kick it aside.

After asking again and again, louder and louder, the creature finally seems to grasp my question and with a trembling voice answers it doesn't know, but Lutrell might. My obvious next question where we can find this Lutrell creature. It points up. If I recall correctly it's pointing in the direction of the tower we saw on top of this building. I immediately storm out of the room again almost running into Finn who follows me back down the hallway. He explains he saw some small encampment near the winding stairway. Exactly the direction we should go, to go upwards.

When we reach the ground floor, we see an older looking creature coming down the winding stairs with a group of about ten armed creatures following in its footsteps. When we get close I ask it if it is Lutrell. The creature answers way more clear than the others did that he is and asks what we're doing here. I explain I'm looking for my friends, my gang. Lutrell offers to help if we promise to leave his 'Shrine'. I ask it what it means with shrine and it explains this is their shrine, their home, the entire island. Given that my gang has sworn loyalty to me and I to them, I'll promise anything. We'll see how this turns out later on when we've found them.

Lutrell calls out to some of the other creatures to set up search parties. Teams of two are formed to check out the entire island. Finn, Flux and me join one party, while Octavia and Tesla join another. Bolt, who has emerged from one of the cabinets all of a sudden halfway the discussion, tells me he'll keep himself busy looking around on his own. Lutrell asks him what he was doing in the cabinet somewhat angrily. Bolt tells him everything is set back to its original setting. One of the creatures is ordered to check the gauges and the buttons. Another one takes some white crystalline stuff from one of the blue barrels and is sent outside to look at the water. Bolt goes out to investigate and is shadowed by one of the creatures who anxiously keeping him away from any control mechanism he might want to manipulate. Rianna remains here to talk to Lutrell.

We wander the entire island, looking through all the buildings, near the large basins (with various degrees of clarity of the liquid) and we notice some kind of animal pen with weird dog-sized creatures, playing in the mud. A big labyrinth can be found beneath the island, with all kinds of pipes and machinery everywhere.

Tesla, Octavia and the team they joined, are searching near the big concrete silo's where we went ashore. Looking inside one of them, some shades can be distinguished. Octavia calls out for Ruby. Eventually they hear a careful "Octavia is that you? Is it safe?". Apparently they had fled here, running from the huge bird. Ava went out for a bit at night, searching the island, but she never wandered of too far.
