Dear Notebook!

At the Ark I helped Tesla with her clothes. She wanted to use the ancient blue clothes she found in the birds nest and enhance her own clothes with it. Luckily i'm good with needle and thread! She looked amazing!

The next morning I got called to Kincade's cabin at the first floor of the Ark. Kincade;s body lay on the ground with an axe in his head. Nothing could be done to help him anymore, he was dead. I removed the axe and gave it to Tesla, maybe she had a use for it, or could sell it. Together with Rianna and Tesla we brought the body to the fireplace, where we burn the dead.

Death's like this don't often happen on the Ark, most of the time it the Rot, or accidents, or fights... But this, nobody heard or saw anything...

Later that morning I went to Ruby to arrange some pots and pans. That should help me to prepare that contaminated grub, I was close to making it eatable, i'm sure of it!

The rest of the day I spend working on the croplands. It was hard working, and I didn't cope well. I went to bed early, i'm sure a good nights rest should help.

The next day I take it a little slower. I did some experimenting with the contaminated grub, and found out that Bolt was building some kind of raft. Apparently he thought it was easier to carry the water over the water.

But did he really thought we would go on that raft? What if it would sink... we would all die...

Late in the evening when Tesla came back to our cabin she told me it was a very clear evening, and she had some great views of the surroundings. She told about some ruined dome in the north, a broken bridge and about a building with all of these iron roads coming from it. She even same some lights very far into the east.

The next day Lincoln told that he wanted to use Bolt's raft to go back to the Pure Plant to get water. He arranged stuff to trade, and apparently they did some testing of Bolt's raft and it really could float?! We would leave the next morning.

In the morning we left. First I walked at the shore with Lincoln, pulling the raft via a rope. But later that day, when I noticed the raft felt surprisingly stable I tried to board it. Luckily we stayed close to the shore where the water was not too deep.

We travelled past the broken bridge in K-17. Into K-18, which had small buildings on both sides of the river. It was a wet area, with pools with mist above it. Also it felt warmer here, which was weird...

Into J-19 the area again changed a bit. Instead of buildings there was high dead and rotting vegetation. I assume the Rot did that...

So lets be careful. It was getting dark, so we decided to spend the night on an island, where we could better see and hear anyone or anything approaching.

During the night, someone heard a female voice: "Helloooo... Helloooo...."

Later my love!
