But without any water

Hey Notebook!

So we are back at the Ark, finally! Let me tell you what happened since last time.

Pure-One

Ava, Finley and Ruby were asking what to do next. Of course we were going to meet the rest, Lincoln was dying to see them! But they still seemed afraid for the "Zone-Ghouls". I again explained that they looked similar but were not aggressive and could talk our language. They should give them a chance. And to avoid any confusion from now on I'll call them the 'Pure Ones'. It has a lot nicer ring to it than Zone-Ghouls.

We met the others outside of the big building. Ava told their story, about how they also encountered the Devourer and could only barely got away safe, thanks to Tank's distracting it. How they arrived on the island, but got attacked by the Huge Bird, which took Felix. How they stayed hidden in one of those huge barrels, such that the bird couldn't reach them anymore. And that hey saw these "Zone-Ghouls" at night. Which we now know luckily turned out to be the Pure Ones!

Bolt then started a (too) long story about this place. That the whole island was part of one big machine that makes dirty water clean and drinkable, and that it was all connected underground. I guess this has been build by the Ancients, and not the Pure Ones.

Lincoln explained his plan. He wanted to figure out how they survived here, and if we could trade something for the water. Sounded like a good idea!

We all went inside and Lincoln started talking with Lutrell. It didn't went smoothly at all. Lutrell didn't wanted to tell us how they survived, it was not relevant for us. He just wanted us to leave as soon as possible. When we explained we wanted to trade for water to save our Ark he told us he didn't care, and that there was nothing they needed.

I explained more clearly that our water supply turned green, and that maybe some of that white powder could help, since they knew a lot about cleaning water. But all I got in response is that it was not that easy, that this was a sacred place that you could not reproduce somewhere else, and more like that.

We did learn that the skin-less dog-like creatures were called "pigs" and that they arranged food for them. Meanwhile I was thinking about the "Deep One", wasn't that his boss? Maybe we should help him with that "Deep One"?

When I brought up that maybe we could take care of the "Deep One" he got really angry and annoyed. I should not even say that word out loud... Not sure what has gotten into him, like saying a word out loud could do any harm... But in the end he told us that we could go look for the "Deep One" if we wanted, and that we should be a good offer. I'm still confused about this "Deep One"... Maybe it was not his boss but like a 6 meter long mutated rat that would want to eat us like the huge bird? In that case we better skip that idea...

Lincoln in the meanwhile was so irritated and annoyed with Lutrell's attitude that he left the building. He told us to come with him. But I noticed that a Pure One was interested in the axe Rianna was carrying. So I stayed and proposed that we could setup a trade. We could come back with for example weapons which we could trade for water. Luckily Ruby was also still here and she helped me sell this idea. Her words did magic like always, and made this look like the best idea ever! <3

I was wondering how we could carry water for all people on the Ark... but I guess Bolt could help with a solution. Wasn't he talking about some tracked vehicle that could carry a lot of stuff between places?

We went outside to talk to Lincoln about the trade proposal. But Lincoln had made his decision, and he just wanted to leave now. Bolt added to that we might come back with 200 people. Since Lutrell also was outside, Finn added "To carry the water" to that, but I don't think Lutrell buyed the excuse.

While the others were already crossing the river I still tried to say goodbye to Lutrell. I thanked him for their help, and told him I would try to convince the others to set up a trade with them. He told her that he thinks she was the only one that thought that way... I hope not, and for sure Ruby would be interested in trading!
