Day 14
by Lincoln

Luckily we find the raft fully intact lodged behind a tree trunk. Rianna and Tesla take it upon themselves to take the raft downstream towards the Ark while scouting all the new areas we're about to enter. Bolt follows them along the riverbank in the bus, sometimes steering away a bit, following the path which used to be a road once upon a time. Occasionally we get stuck in mud puddles, but with the help of the escapees we continue.

We reach an area with all kinds of parallel irons tracks leading towards a big building. Vehicles are standing on the tracks and some of them are lying beside them. Bolt of course can't let a moment with vehicles like this pass, so he runs of to investigate.

Finally as Tesla returns from scouting the area we enter the bus again and call for Bolt to join us to continue home. As we're getting close and already see our Ark across the river we use our raft in several groups to get across. I'm glad to see they've made good progress with setting up defenses. There's even a lookout at the highest point of our Ark who, upon seeing us approach, immediately runs down. Probably to inform everybody of our return.

Bolt 'sabotages' our vehicle, so someone else can't just ride of with it. We instruct all the freed men to join us across the river on the raft. As we arrive in the Ark, I guide the men to 'my' area in the Ark to avoid them getting into conflicts with Harpers men. We join Ruby up to Elonas level to inquire about the Elder. As we pass through Harpers floors we notice "H"'s being painted on various doors. It seems he's trying to claim more square footage.

Miri, Elonas chronicler is looking after the Elder who has been in this catatonic state for already a day now. Octavia lends a hand to assess the health situation, but for now to no avail.

Due to the eagerness of Harper to extend his influence I have my gang on a watch schedule. But I'm glad to learn the next morning nothing weird occurred. That next day some of the trinkets we took from the tower are assessed for their value. The black device turns out to be a device to watch stuff in the distance. This might be a worthwhile tool for the lookout. Another very weird contraption, after a lot of tinkering and fiddling by both Bolt and Max, produces a message:

As per order of Doctor Retzius, all Mimir personnell of security clearance five or above should report to the nearest command center as soon as possible. For reference, command center Alpha is located at 38.80 -76.86, command center Bravo is located at 38.93, -77.22, command center Charlie is located at 38.71, -77.18, command center Delta is located at 38.99 -76.85, command center Echo is located at 38.70, -77.08. All other civilians should remain in their homes. There is nothing to worry about. Have a nice day.

Could those numbers be some kind of coordinates. I wonder if the map in the Chairmans office could help out?
