And the Tower is going to attack us

Dearest Notebook,

A dark day has come for the Ark... But let me first tell you about last week.

I walked around the Ark talking to our people a lot this week, they had to know the truth! I told them about the adventures we had, about the Pure Plant, the Tower, the ancient mutant Deadpool, and the great places and artifacts we found. And made sure they knew that they couldn't trust [Silas]' stories to be true.

Besides that there was a lot more to do, the museum needed attention, we had the water basin to work on, twice per day I visited Longshot and The Elder. He looked a bit stable, but wasn't drinking much...

In the evenings I helped Telsa who was trying to learn our language to Yelena. Tesla was doing amazing and it was a shame I didn't have more time to help her. I hope she can forgive me, but so many things going on! We learned a few things from Yelena. She came from south of our map (around R-17), and called it "Elysium". Which we think is a place under the ground. Also the cold that froze her fingers was around O-17. And apparently "Elysium" and "Mimir" were at war? And wasn't The Elder related to "Mimir"?? So many questions...

But halfway last week something happened. Tesla came to get me! She told me they saw Carla and another woman on the other side of the river! I joined her together with Rianna, Bolt and Finn on the raft. There we searched for them. But nothing was found until from nowhere Rianna was shot. I quickly took cover and stayed hidden for some while... Rianna and Tesla were going inside a building. I took a look every few minutes, and when I did again there was a shot. It hit the wall I was behind but also hit me.. that hurt...

It turned out that shot revealed the shooter's location, which allowed Rianna and Tesla to capture the shooter. They found out Carla was already on her way to the Tower. So me and Bolt took the captured woman to the Ark while the others continued the search.

At the Ark we handed her to Lincoln for questioning. They figured out her name was Shontae, a stalker from the Tower. And they were planning to attack our Ark to take back the men.

Not long after Harper came asking if we got them. After explaining one of them escaped, he started commanding his people around to prepare for the attack. It turned out that having one common enemy turned his attention away from the internal things.

In those days after the big gun from the bus was put on the watchtower, the flamethrower was put near the gate, and the gate was reinforced. This was after Bolt made sure some armored vehicle was moved inside the gate. It was impressive that he he that machine working, but it was long from finished, seeing how much he struggled with driving straight.

Scouts were send out to the nearby tower, and Ava was ordered to go to the Pure Plant to make sure Lutrell was aware of the situation.

Harper's guards were no longer posted at the doors of floor 1 and 2, because he needed them to prepare for the attack. Harper's symbols on those doors also disappeared during one of the nights. But not for long till a quick version reappeared...

Yes notebook, an probably attack on the Ark isn't good... but it's not the dark day I meant... It's today... this morning I was visiting Longshot again. And I could see it on his face... things were not good. The Elder didn't move anymore, and was barely breathing. His end was near...

I stayed there for a while, and Elona also joined. And we saw the life leaving his body... The Elder was no more... he died... Elona proposed to keep it quiet for some days, but I told her to get Lincoln. It was not her decision alone to take...



Better days will come again!
