Morning Notebook,

I'm still a big shaken this morning, so let me tell you what happened since last time...

We were at the Pure Plant talking to Lutrell. I explained that we wanted to free the kidnapped Pure-Ones, and in exchange for that they would provide us enough water to sustain our Ark. Also we could trade some of the trinkets we brought for some barrels of water.

Lutrell was very happy with our proposal, but didn't had much use for the trinkets. They needed weapons to protect themselves. We agreed to stay for the day, and Bolt would help them build some scrap weapons. We also gave Lutrell the metal stick we found.

I spend most of that day with Yelena Varvarra, which I learned were the names of the strange woman. Yes, she had two names! She also repeated some specific words: "Is le dovatel", "Laboratoria" and "Voyna".

I gave her my pencil to see if she could write, and indeed she could! She had troubles holding the pencil with her painful black fingertips, and her writing was weird, using some characters I didn't recognize. It was clear she was writing in another language. When I pointed to her black fingertips, she portrayed she was cold! Could cold do that to your fingertips??

The others spend that day with other things:

• Bolt was making weapons from scrap and reinforced the raft.
• Finn wandered around. He apparently learned where the Deep One was.
• Lincoln talked with Lutrell and learned about the female attackers, pigs and water cleaning.
• Rianna and Tesla spend some time with me and Yelena, but also helped Bolt.

In the evening after dinner Lutrell invited us to join their offering ritual. We walked towards the west side of the island. Some Pure-Ones were carrying a small pig.

Next to a large grid with a hole in it we stopped. Meters below there was a pool with calm water. They threw the pig in the hole and soon there were bubbles all over the water!! What was that? There was something in the water! Was it eating the pig? That would mean the Deep One wasn't a mutated rat, but maybe a mutated fish?

Time to get some sleep, but before that I walked to the shore to spit out all the Rot I still had. Ouch, it didn't go like normally and I came back disoriented with a huge headache. I quickly went to get some sleep, glad I had my watch at the end of the night.

The next day we traveled back to the Ark. Even with all the filled water barrels the raft performed well, and the way back was uneventful.

Finally, back at the Ark, and what a surprise, the croplands were finished!! But that wasn't the only surprise... Elona told us another weird death happened: Latifa jumped down from the 4th floor, suicide... Jo-Ann and Max saw it happen! I didn't knew here very well, but it was another strange death...

After that it was time to bring the book with stories of the ancient mutant to the Dawn Vault. Our people should learn that even ancients had mutations, even more powerful than ours! Deadpool's story should live on!!

And can you imagine how surprised I was when I also saw Bolt at the Dawn Vault?! Apparently he brought the weird 2-wheeled vehicle there. Looks like he also starts to figure out that more people besides himself can learn from these things we find!

It turned out that Yelena didn't get the welcome she deserved. The people were afraid of her and avoided her. Even Elona thought she shouldn't be here. I explained that she might even be from Eden! Yelena recognized that and repeated the word Eden to Elona. But Elona ignored it and explained that Yelena was not welcome on 'her' floor of the Ark.

I was a bit afraid leaving Yelena on the Ark alone when we would go out to fight those female kidnappers. Together with Rianna we came with a plan. We talked to Ruby <3, and as awesome and lovely as she is, she told us she could keep an eye out for her and set her to work. Yelena could sleep in me and Tesla's den. Maybe she could even learn something about us and our language from some of my old notebooks...

Finally, time for some sleep... so I thought...

It was halfway the night when I rudely got awoken by two of Lincoln's enforcers. Apparently Lincoln was badly wounded? I grabbed my stuff and went his room. There he was, breathing heavily and blood everywhere! What happened? He looked like he was attacked by a wild animal and his lung was punctured! I quickly started my work, and spend at least an hour, if not longer, until he was stabilized.

His enforcers didn't want to tell me what happened... why those secrets? Was Lincoln really the good person who I thought he was? Or did he had a secret agenda like Harper, and was he just using me? I left that room full of confusion and doubt... what was going on on this Ark, was I helping the right person? Lincoln does want to help the Pure-Ones... Or is there even a hidden agenda there?.... I went back to bed, but didn't sleep much anymore that night...

That was it for now,

Octavía
