Greetings Notebook,

After Conner died I had a closer look at the book in his room. It was called "Essays of a Klansman". It was talking about a "white master race". It was terrible and parts of it made me so angry, we should destroy this! But after talking to Elona and Lincoln about it, we decided to put it in the vault, so we could learn from mistakes in the past.

The next day we left for the Tower. We took the bus, and made a stop at the Pure Plant. Lutrell was happy to see us, and even happier to hear that we defeated the women from the tower.

At the tower Harper quickly managed to take over control from the few women left. We also found that map on the chairman's room. And it indeed had coordinates!! I looked the ones from the recording up, and found 3 of those locations on that map. And after comparing it to our map I could even find them there! So I quickly noted the locations on our map.

We also found some artifacts, some kind of engine with a bicycle chain attached to it, a small jar of pills, some other pistol-like device with a cable, and a yellow metal device with small openings which you could close in it. I investigated the jar of pills, and according to that they should stop pain! Not a bad idea to keep those one me...

In the evening at the tower I went to the room with the dead Zone-Ghouls. It was still a terrible place, but I had to learn more about these creatures! I cut them open and looked at them in detail. They had great amounts of Rot in them, but for the rest they looked very similar to Pure-Ones, and it was clear that they also were not that far off from humans... Completely different that beast like the pigs for sure.

So could it be that they once were humans? And huge amounts of Rot changed them into this?...

The next morning we travelled back to the Ark. Later that afternoon a vehicle with 5 people came towards the Ark over the river from the South-West. There was a name, Noatun on it. They saw us and went towards the Ark. There it turned out the 5 people on it looked... exactly the same?! One introduced himself as Farzad 17. The others were also Farzad, but with another number (9, 23, 25 and 29).

We had a weird conversation with them, let me try to summarize it here:

• Noatun is a power, or group or something own oil rigs in the water.
• Oil rigs are floating buildings that get fuel out of the ground below the water.
• Noatun sends people to those oil rigs.
• These Farzads work on one of these oil rigs, but they have a boss called Xerxes.

• Xerxes is what they call a driod, which is a machine, not a human?
• They don't agree with Xerxes, so they left the oil rig and came here.
• Another weird thing is that Farzads are born big like this, it's unclear how they learned to do things...
• Also the are only between 1.5 and 3.5 years old?!
• They want our help to defeat this Xerxes, because he doesn't care about Farzad's lifes, he sees them as consumables.
• Also normally every few months a new ship (which is how they call a water vehicle) arrives from Noatun which brings new Farzads.
• This ship now stopped coming, so they think if we get rid of Xerxes, they can live there in peace.
• Apparently their oil rig is to the South if you follow the river. It's on a big open water and they like it?
• There are about 10 other Farzad's on the oil rig, and a few scientists and a doctor called Sadek!
• They want to help us build a ship if we help them, and also offer fuel.

So this is all very weird and confusing... Could their story be true? Should we help them? It does sound exiting, we could learn a lot from this. Their technology sound advanced, and maybe doctor Sadek knows more about the Rot? But it's on the water.... a LOT of water...

Lot of love,

Octavía
