We set up camp in a large building next to the tower. Lincoln and his crew went hunting, and we stayed behind to keep an eye on the tower. First we watched from a higher floor so that we could look over the wall.

There were women walking around ordering the men around. The men worked in the cropland and walked around with buckets of water, which were filled through a pipe on the side of the building via a continuous stream of water. It was clear that the woman were in charge...

Then we moved to a spot close to the gate and waited... After a while, 3 women came out of the gate and headed North. [[Tesla]] and [[Finn]] followed them without being seen. [[Rianna]], me and [[Bolt]] stayed watching the gate. It only took a moment before [[Bolt]] left us to search (s)crap.

After another long wait we saw 2 of the 3 women return. One of them had a large package in the shape of a small person on her shoulders. Fortunately too small to be [[Finn]] or [[Tesla]]!
After another long wait we saw 2 of the 3 women return. One of them had a large package in the shape of a small person on her shoulders. Fortunately too small to be [[Finn]] or [[Tesla]]! But what happened to them, where was the last woman? And more important, where was [[Tesla]]?!
[[File:rifle.png|64px|left]]At the end of the day, after [[Lincoln]] and his crew returned, Finn arrived. He was carrying a rifle, but where was [[Tesla]]!?! [[Finn]] explained that she was in a building nearby because they had captured a woman named [[Carla]]. [[Finn]] recommended that our women go there to question her further, as she did not listen well to men. So [[Rianna]] and I went to them.

That wasn't good! I'm sure [[Lincoln]] won't let that happen! But he has to be on the ark to stop it! And is [[Ruby]] safe? :'( We have to go back as soon as possible, she could be in danger!
