"Has he checked in yet?" Clarke asked as she entered the room. I had been sitting next to Raven, keeping an eye on the radio since we released Emerson.

"No," I said disappointedly.

Raven and I looked up at Clarke to see a bodyguard following behind her. "Worried someone's gonna take a shot at you inside the Ark?" Raven asked.

Instead of answering the question right away, she turned to the Grounder and said, "Wait outside, Rider." The Grounder, Rider, turned around and stepped outside. "Lexa's orders," Clarke explained.

"Whatever, Clarke." Raven focused on the 3D Mount Weather map, fixated on the dam.

Clarke looked down at the silent radio. "He's late. What if something's happened to him?"

"He'll be fine," Raven told her.

Clarke observed the map and Raven's work. Her eyes then fell on the diagram of the dam. "You've been busy. Why are you focusing on the dam? I told you acid fog was our priority."

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

"Fine. Tell me about the dam. Can we cut off their power?"

"Maybe. I'm still playing with a few things." Raven looked over the diagram.

Clarke picked up one of the tone generators and turned it on. It released a high-pitched humming sound until she turned it off. "How many of these have you made?"

"Only two so far, but--"

"Two?" Clarke set the tone generator down. "That's not enough. There'll be Reapers everywhere."

"High-frequency tone generators don't grow on trees, Clarke," Raven argued. "Wick is scrounging for parts."

"Raven... I am 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," Clarke reminded her. "Only, we're not a go, because they still have acid fog and we only have two tone generators."

I rose to my feet with determination and spoke confidently to Clarke, "Clarke, we'll be ready. We will." I made my way to the corner of the room where I had previously set down my gear. "Kane's expecting me to be at Tondc with you." I deftly retrieved my weapons and secured them in their respective sheaths.

"Work station, do you read me?" I heard Bellamy say over the radio. "Anybody there?"

Clarke rushed to the radio to talk to Bellamy. "Bellamy, you're late. Every three hours means every three hours."

"Are you through?"

Clarke sighed. "Have you found the source of the acid fog?"

"No, that's gonna have to wait."

"What? No. Nothing is more important than that."

"Our friends are. They've started taking them from the dorm... one at a time, every few hours."

"Taking them where?" I asked.

"I don't know. We tried to follow them, but they went to a classified level." Raven looked at her map of Mount Weather. "Maya borrowed the schematics of the vent system from her boss... and we're still trying to find a way in. Anything?"

A faint, feminine voice emanated from Bellamy's side of the connection, leaving me with little doubt that it belonged to Maya."Here's the walkie Raven asked for. And the ear bud," I heard her say.

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

Clarke nodded. "Bellamy, you have to find them."
