Stabilizing the Ark
the Ark
Before the others head out to the Pure Plant to return the Pure-Ones, I ask Octavia to try and get some pigs from Lutrell to get our own pigsty going.
I make sure the former tower inhabitants are fed well. I instruct them to keep a low profile and not start wondering of to the other levels of the Ark to avoid any run-ins with Harpers crew. I Task Garrett to keep an eye on them. I make some inquiries about the deaths of Kincade, Latifa and Gerald but no new news on them. There's just some gossip that the Latifas suicide is quite unexpected. There's some talk about a failed romance, but nothing concrete.
The next day I pay a visit to Elona. There's a bunch of people in the room running around like headless chickens, not adding any positive to the Elders situation so I order them to get out. Elona thanks me for this, she really seems to be burned out by the situation, which got even worse with her main chronicler Miri being found dead this night. Guards tell us she was screaming and as they ran inside. They saw Miri acting in a psychotic way. Her limbs all twisted, her face distorted with a death scare in her eyes, looking at the Elder as if was attempting to strangle her for her incompetent healing work. The guards tried to wake her up, but as they tried that, she dropped dead. Another unexpected death, but this time Elona mentions some weird pattern about three of the four recently deceased. They all got a dark skin. Could there be a common cause to this. And how to explain the death of Gerald than....? Another chronicler has now taken over the care for the Elder and I promise to send Octavia up as soon as she has returned.
As the death of the Elder is now eminent I discuss with Elona how we should continue in that event. But as she's so shook up by the whole situation she diverts that question to her confidant Nyra. I discuss possible ways we could rearrange the leadership structure and what projects would benefit the Ark moving forward. Nyra explains the main focus of Elona is to keep the ways of the Elder alive.
The rest of the day I spent with the former tower men to check up on them how they are doing. For the ones who are ready and willing I get them to work our croplands. They can definately be more free with us than they were, but still there's food and lodging to earned like all inhabitants of the Ark do.
Pure Plant
Bolt continues along the river driving the bus up north towards the Pure Plant. As they get near, Octavia, the Pure-Ones and Tesla get out and will walk the last bit to avoid spooking the Pure-Ones. Bolt and Rianna will bring the bus around to the west side of the plant so once the handover has been concluded the bus can continue south again on our side of the river.
Lutrell opens them with open arms and is really glad to see most of the Pure-Ones returned unharmed. Our people ask about the swimming pool and with the help of the Pure-One, who assessed the situation with our water source, we explain what we need to get it cleaned up. Lutrell agrees to give us a bucket of white powder to get our water cleaned up. We will have to drain it almost completely, but that'll be for a good cause.
He does voice his concerns about the impact of us freeing the Pure-Ones from the tower, upsetting quite a few women in the process. We offer to help him out with some more weapons and we'll be on the lookout for a counterattack.
To conclude the meeting Octavia remembers to ask Lutrell for a few pigs to get us started with our own pigsty. Given how much we've done for them, he quickly agrees. He has his people quickly gather everything we need and asked for so they can all get on their way again, back to the Ark.
Something a bit of today is Bolts behavior. When Lutrell mentioned the possible attack from the tower women, he adds some fuel to the fire. But I'm glad the others manage to diffuse the situation.
