It's been about a month and people have got back into the swing of a seemingly normal life without any raiders.

Finley and his group decided to tag along from now on.

You've been getting good meals for a while so max has been on the low down but you still get episodes. You and clem have redone your room by moving beds around and taking the bunk beds out and taking two single beds and putting them together to make a double bed. You had also moved the tables around to make some space. AJ and jack took some of the items Clem had found. For example the purple crystal that you had told them was magic.

You've been doing a lot of hunting with scout and exploring out of the safe zone. After another group vote everyone decided Clem should be in charge and Marlon and violet were happy with that. Scout had become comfortable with people in the group and came into the school more often.

You and Finley enter the school after venturing out of the safe zone. You say a quick hi to everyone and walk up to Clem's office.

Clem: hey guys. Anything new?

You slam your bag on the table and remove a few sheets of paper. You unroll then all.

Clem: that's a lot of blueprints.

You: this is from a local water treatment about 3 miles west.

Clem: ok, what about it?

You: well after a look at it we noticed all the machinery is mainly intact. All we need to do is hook up the solar panels on the roof of the building so we can get some power. The control panel is here.

You point at a room on the blueprints.

You: so it should be easily accessible.

Clem: why do I feel like there is a problem in this?

You: as well as hooking up the solar panels which will be hard enough the pump system which directs the water flow to places we need so places, like the school, is flooded and there is no chance of emptying it. So if we get it working we could have running clean water but we also run the risk of drowning someone in the group.

Clem: well we sort of have to try don't we.

You: yeah I agree but I don't want to send someone deep underwater who isn't prepared to do it. I say we ask people and if people are willing to then we pick the best swimmer and maybe try and find them a hose or something.

Clem: why a hose?

You: someone could hold on end of the hose above water while the swimmer goes down and uses the hose to breath by keeping it in their mouth.

Clem: that could work. Well that's something to work towards.

Finley: what's the plan about that town about 50 miles away. Louis and Violet brought it up and how the caretaker would go there for things for the school like food. Could be raided but it also could be untouched.

Clem: well it's not to far of a distance now we have the horses so it could be a day or two. It depends how much we need to loot. I don't see why we don't have a look.

Finley: well in the short time I've been here I've seen that these people haven't left the school area enough.

Clem: well there is us 3, Rocco, Erin and Katie.

You: I don't think we'll need to send everyone. Anyway maybe we should send some of them to give them the experience. They aren't kids and can kill walkers just as well as everyone else.

Clem: well they can't spend their full lives in this school so may as well do it now.

Finley: who are we sending then?
