"Hey, you know why you're working on the beacon?" Wick asked.
"I'm not. Find someone else." I said
"Because I asked for you. You're the best mechanic we got." Wick said.
"Go, me. Exactly 3 mechanics made it to the ground." I fake cheered.
"You were top-3 on the Ark, too. I say this even though you refuse to acknowledge the ingenuity of my designs." Wick said.
"Or insanity." I said.
"Listen, you have a first-rate mind. You do. Use it. Your leg's messed up, and that blows. Figure out a way to work around it." Wick said
"How do I do that?" I asked
"You could let your friends help, for one. The rest, it's up to you."wick said as he offers Me His brace again and this time I take it. I try it on and attempts walking.
"What do you know? It holds." Wick said
"Barely." I said
"Oh, whatever! My design worked! You can admit it!" Wick said
"Whatever. This thing's an offense to mechanics everywhere." I said Wick inhales some Helium.
"You're welcome." Wick says in a high pitched voice
"Helium." I said
"Argon! What? Are we not just tossing out noble gasses?" Wick said
"No, you idiot! I know what we have to do to raise the beacon." I said

Clarkes Pov.
"Anya, you're still bleeding. At least let me bandage it before it gets infected." I said. Anya agrees and I quickly stab her in the neck with a tranquilizer dart.
"I can find my way home from here. Looks like you're my prisoner now." I said.

I am helping with Monroe's wound while Bellamy ties a sling onto Mel's arm.
"Thank God you came when you did. " Bellamy said to octavia
"I was going back to camp when I heard shots." Octavia said
"Nice foghorn. What happened to your boyfriend?"  Murphy asked.
"He's gone." Octavia said
"All right." Murphy said
"Hey. I'm sorry, O." Bellamy said
"Me too" I said.
"The Grounders will be back, so we need to go, now." Octavia said
"Yes, we do." Finn said.
"Octavia says the arrow might be poisoned. I have to take them home." Bellamy said.
" I know. I'll meet you as soon as I can." Finn said.
"I know." Bellamy said.
"Parting, such sweet sorrow, right?" Murphy said following Finn
"Where the hell do you think you're going?" Bellamy asked.
"Come on. Bellamy, you know if I go with you, they'll just lock me up again." Murphy said
"Really?" Octavia asked.
"Watch his back." He said to Murphy
"I'm going to" I said
"The hell you are" Bellamy said I walked up to Bellamy and whispered in his ear
"Finns losing his shit and murphy lost his ages ago, they can't be trusted alone."
"Fine,but be careful" Bellamy said.
"I will" I said as I gave him a kiss on the cheek and left.

I drag Anya back to the dropship. Anya stands up and attacks me. I have the upper hand.
"Anya, wait. Aah! Aah! Hey... Aah! I don't want to kill you, Anya." I said
"Then you're the one that's gonna die." Anya said. Anya knocks Me down and prepares to deliver the final blow but she pauses upon noticing the beacon.
"Do you see that? I knew it. He lied. My people are out there." I said.

Wick and I are looking at the beacon.
"So the balloon beacon wasn't a bad idea." Wick said
"I think the word you're searching for is "genius." I said
"You should have been an engineer. You already have the arrogance." Wick said
"Oh, that's what they teach you. I wondered." I said
"Well, that's one way to do it." Sinclair said
"What the hell are you doing?" Major Byrne asked
"Oh, it's a radio beacon." Wick said
"Wrong. It's a target." Major Byrne said
"Hey, wait a second!" I said but Major Byrne shoots down the beacon.
"We fell from space in a football stadium; I think they already know we're here." Wick said
"Chancellor Kane's out risking his life to negotiate with the Grounders. You better hope he's successful, because if he isn't, every Grounder within 50 miles of here now knows exactly where we are! " major Byrne said
"I expected better, Chief. " major Byrne said to Sinclair before shouting.
"All guards to the wall, now! You see a Grounder, you're authorized to shoot on sight!"

Clarkes pov.
Anya and I approach Camp Jaha. We're so close.
"Look at that." I said.
"How many are there?" Anya asked
"I don't know. A lot, I hope. I'm letting you go. I'm not weak, but I'm not like you. Our only chance against Mount Weather is if we fight together. To beat them, we'll need our technology and your knowledge of this world. I know my people will help. The question is, will yours?" I said
"The commander was my second. I can get an audience." Anya said. Anya and I shake hands.
"Please hurry." I said Anya walks off and a gunshot is heard.
"Anya!" I shout
"Aah!" Anyo shots in pain. Anya collapses, she's been shot. I rush towards Anya and tries to put pressure on the wound.
"Hey. Hey, hey, hey. No, no, no, no. No, no. Hey. It's ok." I said
"Ai gonplei ste odon." Anya said speaking the language of the tree people.
"No. No, no, no. Anya, you're ok. You're ok." I said
"Shot two more. Alpha team's got two Grounders down." I heard someone say. The Guards arrive and knock Me out.
