"Next time don't bring me into your sibling spat."

Storming urgently through the bunker's corridors I head for the office. Octavia called for an emergency meeting after the parachutes dropped. With people question Octavia's command and control over the situation it'd make sense they're debating on defecting. It's is a smart deal. That's why I have no doubt in my mind it's been organised by Kane. It's an olive branch; something Kane is famous for providing in these tense situations. It may be Diyoza's voice but they are certainly Kane's words. I've known him long enough to distinguish that.

"Ave!" I hear Clarke urgently calling "Ave wait up!"

Peering behind me I spot her running up with Monty, Harper, and Bellamy all not far behind. "I can't talk now guys", I regretfully mention not ceasing my stride "Octavia called an emergency meeting and she requested I'm ther-"

"Ave stop", Bellamy jumps in front of me. Stumbling so I don't smack right into him, Bellamy holds up a hand to stop me from speaking "Just hear us out."

Rolling my eyes I motion with my hand "Hurry then. I'm already late."

"We need to get to that valley unnoticed", Monty tells me stepping around to stand beside Bellamy "But with the eye in the sky it makes it impossible for any army to move out back to the valley or for anyone to move in between."

Groaning I quickly step around Bellamy and Monty, continuing to storm towards the office "That's why we're holding a meeting to determine our next move. With that eye in the sky, it's impossible to launch an attack on-"

"I can blind the eye."

Suddenly I pause my stride, twirling around I'm raising my eyebrow curiously over towards Monty. Noticing not a hint of humor on anyone else's faces, I sharply nod "Consider my roll slowed." Taking his hands out from his back Monty holds out a radio I'd know from anywhere. Excitably ginning I give a small shriek "No way. Where the hell did you guys get your hands on a Laser-comm?"

"Not important", Monty waves my curiosity off "Point is it's strong enough to cut through the radiation in the atmosphere. It's dialed into their mothership." Offering it to me I take it, admiring its design. When I'd studied communication circuitry I'd come across this style of walkie. Extremely powerful and extremely vast in its frequency. "All I need is a relay tower on the ground I can build from scrape and a computer-"
