[This part contains Bellamy, Raven, Murphy, Emori, Echo & Monty, in that order, and also includes Clarke via radio]

Everyone's face lit up in pure delight, to hear Clarke's voice, knowing she was alive made everyone feel better. Especially Bellamy. Raven was happy that Clarke was alive, but if Clarke was contacting them, Raven knew the earth must be somewhat survivable. It was now in the hands of Raven.
She hurried everyone out of the engineering room, giving her the time and space to focus. But how could she focus with Bellamy and Murphy on her mind?
After about an hour and a half of sitting, contemplating and getting very stressed, Murphy walked in to reassure Raven. Murphy always made her feel special, and better about herself, but she had gone past questioning her capabilities.
"What's up? You look hella stressed" Murphy suggested, while looking at her.
"Well, it's because I am" Raven said, with a sigh of relief.
Murphy looked back, overly shocked "Raven Reyes, stressed, who'd a guessed it?"
"How can I not be stressed when we might not fucking be able to get back to the ground"
"Wow.. okay, I wasn't expecting that at all"
"Please don't tell anyone, I don't want to cause panic, it's the last thing I need right now" she said, looking deadly serious. Murphy nodded before leaving her to concentrate on saving them.
Although, by evening time, she still couldn't think of any ideas, but it was her turn to help plan, with Emori and Echo repairing. Raven wasn't put on repair duty as she had other stuff to do, but she still had to help out. She quickly packed up some tools, and headed towards the main station. She walked in to see Emori and Echo chatting while repairing.
"Murphy told me today, that Raven has no idea on how to get back down. I wouldn't be surprised if we die up here before we get down" Emori chattered in an agitated tone, and Echo looking extremely shocked. The secret. Their secret, well not much of a secret anymore. Raven felt betrayed by the words she was hearing, and turned back around, and went back to the engineering room. A place that used to give her isolation and loneliness, now provided an escape from reality. Her confidence was knocked back, knowing that Emori didn't believe in her, and that she can no longer trust Murphy. It made her wonder, who can she truly trust? Not Murphy or Emori, and she was questioning Echo as well. But one person she could trust the most - Monty. They shared a deep connection like no other, both been through heartbreaking losses of loved ones - including Jasper, both not considered as one of the 'tuff' ones, and they both had no idea on how to get down.
Raven now knew that she couldn't just do this alone, she needed help. Monty's help.
