The sky is very dark gray and rain is heavily pouring.The other delinquents were holding up some sort of tarp and screaming commands. I'm standing next to unconscious Maddison. Clarke has to save her. I can't live without my sister. Raven needs to contact the Ark before both Maddi and Finn bleed out.
"This is Raven Reyes. Calling Ark Station. Come in Ark Station. This is Raven Reyes. Calling Ark Station. Please come in. Please, please. Can anybody hear me?"
"Are you sure you have the right frequency?" Monroe asked
"Yeah, I'm sure" Raven snapped
"Raven? You can do this. Okay?" Clarke said. I don't know who she's trying to convince but raven kept trying her best so I guess it worked
"Calling Ark Station. Ark station. Please come in. I'm on the ground with the hundred. We need you" Raven said

"We need to talk about those flares" Abby said

"We need to talk about those flares" Abby said. I'm not gonna have false hope.
"No, we don't" Jaha said
"You saw them too. We can't just ignore what we all know it means" Abby pushed. They MIGHT be alive. But there's no way to be sure
"We don't know what it means"
"It means, that there is somebody alive on Earth. It means that our children might still be alive" Abby said
"More false hope"
[Radio noises continue, making several council members look up.]
"Abby, those flashes could have been anything. Lightning, radiation in the atmosphere" False hope is useless. They are dead and it's my fault
"And in any case, whatever they were, that's a matter for the council to decide. And you are no longer on the council" Jaba informed
[Abby looks up, surprised, as Jaha gets up and walks towards Abby.]
"Abby, your life has been spared. But you've been stripped of your seat at this table, effective immediately. Your pin" Jaha asked
[Jaha holds out his hand and Abby takes off her council pin, remaining eye contact with Jaha the entire time. Radio noise comes back stronger.]
"There it is again" A male voice called through static
[The camera pans to several of the council members then we see Abby, looking surprised.]
[on radio] "Calling...Ark... Stat- Could- The Ark Station" Raven said
"Raven. She's still alive" Abby said
[on radio] "Are you there? Please come in" Raven begged. Maybe they are alive
Abby runs out of the room and Jaha and I follow. Raven's message is being transmitted through the entire Ark. Crap
[on radio] "Please... Calling Ark Station... The hundred are alive" Raven tried again
"This is a restricted station. Who is this? Please identify yourself" Sinclair said
[on radio] "This is Raven Reyes. I- I'm from Mecha Station. I'm transmitting from the ground. The hundred are alive. Please, you need to get Doctor Abby Griffin. Doctor Abby Griffin. Now" Raven answered. They are alive. Thank God. I really need to talk to Maddison and Skye
[on radio] "Hang on Raven, we're trying to boost your signal. [Speaking to people next to him] Get her off the Ark-wide channel. This room only. Copy?" Sinclair asked. We heard voices in the background.
"Can she hear me?"
"Have you confirmed the signal's location?" Jaha asked
"Yes sir, it's coming from Earth" Sinclair answered and Jaha, Abby and I had relieved smiles on our faces
[on radio] "Raven? Are you there?" Abby tried. And we just heard static. Please someone answer
[on radio] "Mom? Mom, it's me" Clarke answered
[on radio] ".. Clarke?" Abby asked in disbelief and a wave of happiness washing over her
Clarke    [on radio] Mom, I need your help. Two of our people were stabbed by a Grounder. Anyone just not Maddison or Skye.
[on radio] "Clarke. This is the Chancellor. Are you saying there are survivors on the ground?" Jaha said
[on radio] "Yes, the Earth is survivable. We're not alone" Clarke answered. There were survivors to the radiation?
[on radio] "Mom, they're dying. The knife is still in them" Clarke said
"Okay, can you patch me through to medical?" Abby asked Sinclair
"Course" Sinclair answered
[on radio] "Clarke. Is my son with you?" Jaha asked
[on radio] "I'm so sorry. Wells is- Wells is dead."
"What about Maddison and Skye?"
"Skye is fine but Madds... she was stabbed on the thigh" Clarke answered. No. This is not happening. She's my daughter. I can't lose her
"Clarke needs you." I said before walking out of the room
