Day 3

Salutations Notebook!

It was dark in the building, the small windows at the top didn't let through much light. You could see some machines, tables, a staircase, some barrels.. But there was not much time to look around. Lincoln asked "Who is there?" and it stayed silent. After that Rianna ran towards the staircase where we saw a few shadows disappear. Tesla, Lincoln and me went after her.

Upstairs was a hallway with rooms on each side. You could look inside the rooms through broken windows. I saw a lot of cans in one room, maybe grub? The next rooms had bags on the floor in ordered patterns. Halfway the hallway we saw a nicer room. It had a desk with an open book, a small metal box and an oil lamp. This must've been the room where we saw the light last night.

But there was no time to investigate, there were creatures around here that could attack us any moment! When we arrived at the end of the hallway Rianna was already there. I heard chanting for one room and in the other dark room you could see 5 small creatures afraid in a corner. They were looking scared at Rianna. Before I could say anything Tesla was asking about Lutrell. Who? What did Tesla know? Lincoln grabbed one of them and pinned it against the wall. How could he! They were so afraid, and probably just children... but I guess they also looked like Zone-Ghouls, so strange...

I tried to calm Lincoln, but he didn't listen. I approached one of the creatures and calmly tried to explain we were looking for 3 friends of ours. The creature told me Lutrell could help. When I asked where he was, the creature pointed up. Was it the big bird? No, that didn't make sense. It must've been in the tower that was on top of this building.

Lincoln knew enough and barged out. He was angry and in a hurry! I went to the room with the book to see if that could help us. But it didn't make sense at all. It had words like October with increasing numbers in every entry, and behind it the letters like PH and again numbers. This was not a story I could read...

I went back downstairs with Tesla and Rianna. There Lincoln was talking to another creature, which must've been Lutrell, together with 10 more armed adults. We learned that Lutrell calls this place his shrine, and the other Zone-Ghouls his people. Lincoln explained about our 3 missing people and Lutrell agreed to help us find them as long as we would leave afterwards. Lincoln agreed to that. Did he forgot we were here also for another reason? We needed water for the Ark!

Then suddenly there were noises from a machine in the back... Of course, it was Bolt. Lutrell didn't seem happy with all the things Bolt did to his machines. He was even speaking of the "Deep One" that would become angry. Who would that be, some kind of Boss from Below?

We learned that there were living live about 40-50 of these Zone-Ghoul-creatures here. At least they looked like Zone-Ghouls and couldn't handle the light very well. But they did speak our language a bit, and were not aggressive like all the others...

We split in multiple search parties. I went with Tesla and 2 of the creatures in a search for Ruby and the others! We walked around for a long time. When we got near the 3 big tanks at the beginning of the area one of them pointed to a dark hole in one of the tanks. He wanted us to go in there? We started yelling the names again: "Ruby!" "Ava!", "Finley!".

It stayed quiet, we kept yelling until we saw a few figures approaching from the dark... Could it be? Yes! It was Ruby!!! I ran towards her and gave her a big hug! Then before I could turn around Finley ran towards the 2 creatures from the search party screaming "Zone-Ghouls"! Luckily my girl Tesla could stop him. She must've used her awesome mutation because Finley suddenly calmed down. We explained that these creatures were not hostile and even helped us.

They were very hungry so I quickly gave my only non-contaminated grub to Ruby and Tesla gave some to the other 2. What a relieve, we found them unharmed... It turned out they stayed hidden there for days because of the big angry bird that killed Felix. Which does make me wonder a bit.. Where is that evil bird now?...
