It's the Year 1971, December to be exact. It was a regular, busy day on Sodor...
We managed to last one day so far, somehow? I don't know how are we managing to get through this but here we are. Lets not waste any more time, and Ill just get into explaining what has been going on today beacuse to say the least, it was full of suprises, some good and some bad so lets get this thing over with. We were sleeping still at Wellsworth, until Henry woke all of us up by blowing his whistle suddenly. We got mad with him for a brief moment, until he asked us if we heard it. We paid closer attention and we heard a sound of puffing in the distance which was getting near and near, alongside of the sound of these planes flying in the sky with a couple of explosions. Shortly after, we heard a familliar whistle of the approaching engine, It was the only Maroon, big tank engine that could be found on Sodor. It was Arthur blasting past the station with his entire forehead covered with burns, being determined to escape the planes that were chasing after him, I do not know If we will ever hear of him again but we truly hope hes gonna get through this entire chaos that has been happening in recent times.

LOG 2:
We sat in the sheds for a little longer before the area cleared out completely, Thomas slowly and carefully peeked from the sheds to check if It's safe which It was. Both engines eventually got out of the sheds and we tried to inspect the yard properly since we couldn't do it yesterday. We luckily found Henry's kipper that wasnt taken yet and it was filled with fish. We were extremely lucky, I was starving for hours as well as the others. We decided to set a fire to eat the fish hot and warm to put a stop to our hunger.
LOG 3 While we were eating, we were talking about what we plan for our next moves. So, we decided to go through Edwards branchline to Brendam docks first. Then we will try search the areas behind Elsbridge, Thomas' branchline and eventually the Little western. God knows if maybe Salty or Cranky are doing alright, just hoping the best for them. We are gonna leave now, Thomas coupled up to Annie and Clarabel and Henry got a coal truck with coal. We feel fully ready to Investigate. I'll note the things we will find.
LOG 4 We arrived to Suddery and it was a complete mess. Half of the station building was gone and the rest was completely burnt, and the workshed next to it contained some long dead trucks that looked completely mutilated beyond recognition, alongside some dead human corpses, we looked for survivors around the area but so far nothing, the docks will maybe bring us some luck.
LOG 5 We arrived to Lower Brendam, the station right in front of the docks. Just like last time, nothing, complete emptiness. It was completely silent and deserted like last time, so It really wasnt worth searching at all, we then puff inside the docks which suprisingly was in an alright state. We did however notice that Cranky was missing from far away, we knew he already died a long time ago by now. We got deeper into the area, deep enough for us to start hearing voices somewhere along the way getting closer, that seemed way to familliar for all of us. We didnt have to wait any longer, since we saw 2 engines arriving next to us.

It was Salty, who had a big amount of burns on his face, damaged roof and stone dust all over him with Bill who was right behind him looking far more depressed than Salty. Thomas, Henry and the rest of us sighed in relief being happy that we werent the only ones left alive. Shortly after we asked Salty what were they going through before we arrived. He sighed as he started talking about his tale.
LOG 6 When It started, Salty was shunting some trucks filled with fish next to Cranky who was unloading packages delivered by a ship. The planes were flying overhead, they didnt care at first until Cranky suddenly screamed. A Bomb was dropped below him causing his lower half to blow up, he plumneted into the sky and fell deep into the sea. Salty was terrified, he quickly rolled away from the area and speeded towards the china clay works to check on the twins. He sped in yelling at the twins that were sitting in some sidings to get out of there, but before he could finish more of the planes started blowing up the rocks above. A Couple of them fell on Salty's roof, and a big one crushed Ben's boiler and he didnt even have time to scream as he blew up instantly but Bill was lucky to run away from it in time, coupling up to Salty then both of them got out of there for cover. Bill was crying throughout the escape mumbling the words "M-My brother is dead..." to himself. Salty was about to add up the rest, until we heard a noise above us. We looked up and noticed the same planes flying towards us. Thomas yelled to run, and we started quicker than ever before, and get the fuck out of there.
LOG 7 They were bombing the surroundings behind us as we were being chased, we ran as quick as we could in hopes to get away. We eventually shot past Wellsworth that got demolished within seconds, we ran into Henry's forest and managed to ran in between the trees, it felt like they were about to drop another bomb on us. Just before they did, we heard a puffing noise up ahead. It was Molly passing by, however she looked horrible. She was dead and her face was covered in burns in entirity but she could still move somehow. The planes were distracted, and started chasing down the runaway corpse of a once shy and useful yellow engine. We looked around to check if everyone was okay which was luckily the case.
LOG 8 We were sitting here for what felt like hours. The area was clean, so we decided to keep moving and countinue with our plan.
LOG 9 We got to Crosby, it should not really be a suprise to us that its abandoned, blown buildings and corpses of other people scattered everywhere. We were about to leave, until we heard yells coming from deep within the yards. Bill went to check on it and it was S.C.Ruffey, half of his face was burnt and a side of him was torn apart. He seemed way to depressed to even speak, so Bill just took him with no questions. He didn't seem in the mood to speak, so we didn't talk with him yet. We'll wait for him to recover first.
Log 10 We came to Elsbridge at last, thats where we are stopping for the night. Before we fell asleep, we talked about what we wanna do tommorow. So thats what we've got so far. Thomas will go check his branchline, Henry will go to Knapford through the loop line, Bill and Salty will go to Tidmouth and eventually maybe the little western.
Log 11 I think it is about time I end this part here, this day felt crazy and I was looking forward what will go down tommorow.
