I'm not sure this is a good change

I'm feeling better after I spent time with Jo-Ann. Is better enough though? I think I will be spending the coming days on my APC or any other task my head comes up with. I need to focus on real work, time to work on my list again. I've started trying to note the list down, it probably doesn't make sense to Octavia as being actual readable words. I guess it's more drawings than words still. But it's a start, right?

Fights?
I know they were working on some kind of new entertainment. But the need to celebrate our victory over the Tower has taken a turn I did not expect. Some kine of cage fight show thing? People taking on others in a one on one fight. And you can then wager bullets on the outcome. I surely wasn't interested at first. But Rianna was going to fight as well. She challenged Voron and he accepted. I guess this guy earned a beat down after his actions, at least that's what Rianna tells me. I will have a look and make sure Rianna wins. Erh. That is make sure that I see that she wins, not me making sure by actually doing something to intervene, right? Is that something I could.. Would do? Back to work, I will check in tonight at the fight.

More than fights?
I push my way through the people around the cage to make sure I am up front and able to see Rianna fight. I'm here to see, and not do. I notice a fixer standing next to me and pass him two bullets in Rianna's name. I'm actually feeling a little bit excited. Is that my excitement or of the people around me. Are they affecting me, or is this all my own? I don't like being in crowds like this, but this is the second time shortly after each other. Previously the crowd of the burning of the Elder and now this. It makes mee feel the same a bit. I'm affected in a way, I get the feeling, no, the desire to do something.

The fight begins, but I am still partly stuck in the elation of the people around me. I look back at the fighters and notice this Voron has a lot more arms than Rianna has. And he knows how to use them. Is that fair? I heard someone say at the beginning all mutations are allowed, so I guess it is.

The fight doesn't go as easily for Rianna as I thought, those four arms are dangerous. I cannot stop myself and feel myself reaching out to Voron's mind. I trip something inside his brain, I can feel his confusion as at that same time Rianna seems to down Voron. I don't know how she did it, I did not see, I was too much in his mind instead of my own.

This is wrong. I cannot be here! But somehow I find another fixer and put my new two bullets I just earned on the next fight of Garrett versus Tyrell. Garrett will win, I will not influence this match. Bad enough I did it to help Rianna, but no more!

Garrett wins, but the end result is a lot different. He finishes with a weird look in his face while grabbing Tyrell's neck. I just said no more! I cannot enter that mind to stop this! Can I? Should I? Before I make up my mind Garrett snaps Tyrell's neck with a loud snap.

And then things get even weirder. Someone starts a panic. Tesla? People mill around. I make sure I get my bullets from the fight and follow Rianna through the chaos. She says Tesla saw something and we needed to catch Conner?

It was all so confusing! We ended up on the upper floor of The Ark. I cannot remember exactly what happened, but I remember fire and Conner jumping off the side of The Ark. Rianna's fire? I do not know..
