Day 41

Lovely Notebooky!

I woke up to the sound of a baby crying... What to do? Of course, he must be hungry! I mixed some grub with water into a porridge and gave it to him. Yes, it worked!

Later I learned that Finn looked around a bit last night, and he found the remains of some other babies... So they were not an offer to someone like Lincoln was wondering. They were just left here to die...

Travelling in the zone was no place for babies, so we decided to bring them to the Pure Plant (the closest safe place). We went through F-21 to avoid the lightning storm section. It was barren, there was a long fence and a building with vehicle wrecks around it. But not much else.

At the Pure Plant Lutrell was happy to look after the babies for a few days. We told him that we found them, and it reminded him of something.. He brought one of the Pure-Ones over. Her name was Freckles and she was a scout. She heard things about a "Nova" cult around that area, and wanted to join us to figure out more about them.

So we left together with her. But only till F-23, the area where we found the babies. There we dropped her off so she could investigate further. We continued since we finally wanted to go to Eden!

First to E-24. An even more desolate area with some yellow plants.. Then Tesla saw some small buildings. She was going to have a look and it turned out there was a mutant called Ohm there who had pigs for friends. Also there was a huge round hatch in the ground. He mentioned Plutonia lived there, and that he could get her so we could meet.

Before we were really sure we wanted that he already started stomping on the hatch, and it slowly opened. Steam and smoke appeared from it, and a few minutes later 3 persons. One of them we recognised: One of the man that left the babies!

The woman, which we learned was called Plutonia started talking. Apparently she was convinced the world would end. She was talking about some writings, and that a sign would be given by the birth of a child that would emits light. That's the reason why they were leaving all the other babies to die, they were waiting until they got one that could give light?!

What is wrong with her? Giving light is just a mutation like any others! I can give light, and was born looong ago. And did the world end? Nope!

When we were about to leave there was some commotion. A guy in a sparkling silver suit started yelling that Abbetina escaped? Apparently Rianna saw her run towards the pig sheds. Plutonia also was panicking. We decided to leave, we were not interested in these weird stories...

When I entered the APC things got more clear. There was a pregnant woman in there. I guessed it was Abbetina. While we drove away we learned from her that she was afraid they would kill her child if it didn't give light. Also she told us that we should do something about Plutonia, since she had the key to end the world? This again sounded crazy...

But what if something of it was true... she explained there was a long cilinder that could go into the air and explode. Probably like that grenade we found, but a LOT bigger... The Nova cult was with about 20 people. Maybe we should go back there soon... but first.. Eden!

We arrived in D-24, and Tesla figured out there was no Rot here! Which makes sense if Eden was here! The area was still desolate. Then we saw a road towards a hill.. it reminded me of the moving pictures we saw! Was it here? There was a large natural stone wall, with a big metal door in it. Big enough for the APC to go through. And the sign! "Eden - Command Center Delta"

Tesla and Rianna tried pushing or sliding the door open. While I helped Bolt to search for a lock. I inspired him by the stories of Eden and what we could find here, and it helped! In a small alcove we found some weird mechanics. But Bolt could make sense of it. After some repairs a small red light turned on. Of course! We had the Elder's "Access Card"! When we tried holding that next to it, the door started to open!

We went inside. First we tried to see for a way to close the door, but that mechanic was broken beyond repair. I think I saw bullet holes?! We drove downwards into the hill. It was dark and damp there. Finally we arrived at a larger area. With a metal door, and a red light! Before we tried to enter I saw a sign. It showed an image... it was.. a map! A map of Eden! It looked like 2 big circles under the ground. And I figured out where we were.

The red light turned green with the card, and we entered. There was dim blue light, and first we went down till we arrived at the biggest circle area. There was a long wide hallway, broken furniture, bullet holes, skeletons which were tens of years old... Lincoln found some names on leftovers of clothes... but they were a bit weird, like Pvt Johnsen, Cpt Smith...

Then we heard a loud shriek!...

Forever yours,

Octavía
