The First On The Ground

Rubicon

(AUGUST P.O.V.)

Clarke and I head to see Raven and see if Bellamy had checked in. Apparently, Clarke has a bodyguard now and he follows her around everywhere.

"Has he checked in yet?" I ask Raven as Clarke, her guard, and I walk into the room.

"No," Raven answers before turning and nothing the guard. "You worried someone's gonna try and take a shot at you inside the Ark?"

"Wait outside, Ryder," Clarke orders her guard. He then leaves the room. "Lexa's orders."

"Whatever, Clarke," Raven says.

"He's late. What if something's happened to him?" I ask worriedly.

"He'll be fine," Raven says as she gives my shoulder a comforting squeeze.

"You've been busy," I say noticing all of her work. I actually think she may be onto something.

"Why are you focusing on the dam? I told you acid fog was our priority," Clarke asks her rudely and I send her a glare.

"Until Bellamy gets eyes on their dispersal system, there's only so much I can do," Raven answers.

"Fine," Clarke says as she notices my glare.

"Tell me about the dam. Can we cut off their power?" I ask Raven.

"Maybe. I'm still playing with a few things," Raven explains and I nod.

"How many of these have you made?" Clarke asks as she turns on a tone generator.

"Only two so far, but..." Raven starts to answer but Clarke turns off the tone generator and slams it down.

"Two? That's not enough. There will be Reapers everywhere," Clarke rudely says.

"High-frequency tone generators don't grow on trees, Clarke," I say as I send her a glare.

"Wick is scrounging for parts," Raven explains.

"Raven, I'm about to leave for Tondc, where Lexa and the heads of all 12 Grounder clans are waiting for me to tell them we're a go, only we're not a go because they still have acid fog, and we only have two tone generators," Clarke explains.

"Hey. We'll be ready," Raven says.

"We will," I agree with her.

"Ark Station, do you read me? Anybody there?" Bellamy's voice comes on the radio. Clarke quickly grabs the radio.

"Bellamy, you're late. Every 3 hours means every 3 hours," Clarke says.

"Are you through?" Bellamy asks annoyed with her. I grab the radio.

"Have you found the source of the acid fog?" I ask him.

"No. That's gonna have to wait," Bellamy answers causing Clarke to snatch the radio away from me.

"What? No. Nothing is more important than that," Clarke argues.

"Our friends are. They're starting to take them from the dorm one at a time every few hours," Bellamy says and I take the radio back.

"Taking them where?" I ask him.

"I don't know. We tried to follow them, but they went to a classified level. Maya borrowed the schematics of the vent system from her boss, and I'm still trying to find a way in," Bellamy tells us before he starts talking to Maya. "Anything?"

"I think I found a path, but it's gonna be tight. Here's the walkie Raven asked for and the earbud," Maya explains.

"We're going to make him mobile so he can talk to us from anywhere," Raven explains to us.
