Sodor Infected

Reunition

7:08 am:

Donald and Douglas agreed to join us in taking down Arthur and getting off the island. They also told us that they managed to get in contact with the crew of Henry who was with Duck, Oliver and other survivors at the iron works, which is the most safe and secured building on the railway, so that is where we headed.

7:56 am:

We found Old Bailey! He was also bunking down in his station on the branchline where Henry had his accident near the deep valley.

He said he was surviving on supplies he already had in the station and was planning on driving to Vicarstown to hopefully find a way to get on the mainland to get help. But after we asked him to help out in finding more survivors, he agreed but as long as he had protection since the virus might still be in the air, so I gave him a mask and we were off. Soon we arrived at the iron works, which was seemingly abandoned, I was so confused until I heard a whisper. I looked through the crack of the giant metal smelters doors, and there was Diesel 10! Blood coated pinchy, 10 had a massive scar on his eye, and a bloody patch was on his lower right cheek, which concerned me but after I got closer he said the he had more survivors in the building with him and they're safe.

He also explained that the blood on the claw was because he had to kill Bert who was infected horribly and was becoming hostile so 10 had to do what he thought was right. I don't blame him honestly, that monster is causing to much chaos.

I reassured the engines I was riding with that everything is okay and that Diesel 10 will help us, the others were shocked but I guess they didn't have much of a choice, suddenly the doors opened and we were let in, and I couldn't believe my eyes. Not only was Henry, Duck, Oliver, Toad, and Harvey there, but Jack and his friends were there too! Kelly said that Max and Monty we're outside keeping a look out for any trouble.

8:12 am:

Soon I heard a bunch of puffing, motors whirring, and wheels rolling I turned to see Stanley, Toby, Emily, Derek, Daisy, Rosie, Salty, Nia, Rebecca, Stanley and Diesel! I was gobsmacked at the number of engines. Duck wasn't all to pleased that Diesel was here, but I told him to put his differences aside. Harvey said he was at the docks when the explosion happened and the shockwave sent his hook flying and cutting into his cheek, he raced away to the smelters where he stayed until more survivors showed up. Stanley explained that he was saved by Diesel who had come to Great Waterton from Kirk Ronan to see if anyone had survived and upon seeing Stanley, he rammed through the rubble and Stanley did so too, finally freeing himself. Derek explained that he was as Brendam this morning looking for supplies after spending the last two days over there bunking down, I was confused at this as I asked Donald and Douglas why they never mentioned seeing Derek there. They said that they never saw him, besides hearing the sounds of the sea, there was nothing, they also took some time to talk to Cranky, Carly and Big Mickey, who are still doing okay thankfully. Daisy then explained she was at Ffarquhar delivering milk to the dairy on the day everything went down so she stayed in here shed up the line and only ventured out if necessary. She soon decided to head to the Vicarstown bridge to get off the island but changed her mind as she  wanted to find her friends, that was when she found Rosie. She was sittin in the goods shed near Tidmouth station, she had run out of coal so Daisy coupled up to her and they set out again and soon met up with Stanley and Diesel who were informed of us staying in the smelters. Rebecca was bunking down at Edwards station when Nia pulled up alongside her, she was safe and sound thankfully and they decided to stay wtih each other and also made the decision to head up to the smelters. Soon I got a call from Mr. Percival, who was looking after the SKR engines, however he sounded worried, I asked him what was up and he said that a chunk of flesh was torn from Skarloeys forehead after he got back from looking around the area. But being the old engine he was, tried to remain optimistic.

Along with that, the diesel that George saw the say before was actually Bowler, or D261. Why was he on the raiwlay? Then Mr. Percival said that Duke had burst his safety valve the day before so now he had to be carried around on a flatbed by Sir Handel and Peter Sam, Sir Handel had a gash across his forehead after being chased by some infected people. Same with Duncan who and some injuries from running through the forest on his way to the wharf. And not only that but Rusty had been found! He was at the slate quarry but had to take shelter due to the shockwave shook the quarry and caused an avalanche, some rocks messed up parts of his face but he was okay when he got back to the sheds. Speaking of the little engines, Victor was okay at the steamworks along with Luke who was pretty shaken up from all this. Bertram was also there but the workers were trying to pull a pipe out of his eye socket which he got from accidentally hitting a flatbed of pipes. And on a more good note the miniature engines were also safe and sound. However Mighty Mac was nowhere to be seen, I guess we have a little engine to search for. And since the steam works was also a heavily secured place, I don't think well have to evacuate anyone from there.

8:45 am:

I can't believe it, so you know that green narrow gauge engine back in the early days of the mid sodor railway named smudger? Well, a survivor looking around the small railway built on top of the MSR found him, still alive!

I'm honestly shocked to hear that trouble maker is still around, so is Duke, who was pretty surprised himself. Smudger said he was perfectly fine where he was for the moment, so he wouldn't be an issue.
