Sawyer felt terrible, her stomach was throbbing in pain. She held her head up by her hand as everyone went back in forth arguing. It was storming outside of Arkadia, lightning and pouring rain was seen outside the window

Atlas, Raven, Monty, Clarke and Bellamy all sat in Sawyer's office as they talked about solutions to save everyone from Primfaya 

"We've been at this for two days, there must be something we haven't thought of. What if we could reach the nearest nuclear reactor?" Bellamy says annoyed 

Raven groaned "I told you, the meltdown started months ago there's no magic button to turn them off. This isn't black rain but it will be soon. That's why we have to focus on riding out the radiation, finding some place safe. And big enough to hold all five hundred of us" 

Clarke shook her head "This isn't just about saving us. I made a promise to Roan, it's about saving everyone" 

"That's why we need to tell everyone. Crowdsource it. If there's another Mount Weather out there the Grounders will know about it" Raven said standing up from her slacking position against the table 

Atlas was laying on the couch throwing a ball up in the air and catching it. Sawyer laid her head down on the table trying hard not to fall asleep. Bellamy scoffed at Raven's idea

"You think they're just gonna tell us? Just like that? If you tell everybody they're going to die the Coalition is over, Roan falls and the Grounders will be at our gate" 

"Then just tell our people!" Raven said raising her voice before continuing "We need more minds on this problem. On the Ark, people volunteered for the Culling because they were told the truth and given a choice"

Raven looked up to Clarke "A choice your Dad died for" 

Sawyer's head shot up eyes widening at Raven's words

"You think I've forgotten that?" 

"Ok, we'll tell everybody the truth as soon as we have a viable solution. Without one, it'll start a panic" Atlas said sitting up on the couch 

"You don't know that!" Raven argued 

"That's it!" 

Everyone turned to Monty in confusion as he moved to the middle of the room

"Think, Alpha Station survived for ninety-seven years in space, through elevated radiation levels and extreme temperature fluctuations. Sound familiar? All we have to do is patch up the ship. We're standing in our viable solution" Monty ranted

Everyone shared glances looking around at the walls in shock at the most obvious solution
