THE FOUR WALKED THROUGH THE ALMOST KNEE-HIGH SNOW IN THEIR SUITS. Raven was well ahead of them, but they did their best to keep up with her. Falo shivered from the cold, she really didn't like walking in the snow, or being in the snow. The only time she liked it was when Rio was alive and they had snowball fights. Those days were over though, nowadays people tried to even survive the night.
"The tower's less than a mile away," Raven pointed her finger at a tower behind the millions of trees. She turned to the three. "One more time, all we have to do is plug this into the junction box at the base of the tower."
Raven handed Clarke a tablet looking thing. Falo looked down at it, examining every little thing about it. Falo and Clarke shared a look of uncertainty. Neither of them knew how to work this thing all too well.
"Sat-star-one is the name of the dish." Raven told her.
"Sat-star-one." Falo repeated.
"Sat-star-one," Raven confirmed and took the tablet back. She carefully put it inside the backpack. "Everything is set. Once the tablet is connected, the dish will align itself with the Ark. The graphic will flash green and that's how you know it's locked on. When it says send, you hit send, and the power-up signal will turn on the lights and that's it. Are there any questions?"
Falo raised her hand. Raven nodded for her to go on. "What if we die?"
"You won't."
Clarke frowned. "Okay. . . but why are you smiling?"
"Because without comms, even with the power on, we still can't open the hangar bay door from inside the rocket." Raven explained.
"Wait," Bellamy grunted. "How is that a good thing?"
Falo smiled. "She gets to take her spacewalk."
Bellamy glanced behind Raven, squinting his eyes at a figure barreling out of the woods with something in his arms. Falo looked behind herself to see it was none other than John Murphy.
"Hey, Murphy!" Bellamy called out.
They all ran through the snow. Falo tightly held onto her helmet, panting heavily as they ran to him. Falo glanced between Murphy and the woods, her heart dropping.
Murphy collapsed to the ground with Bellamy. Bellamy pulled Murphy up to look at him. "Where's Monty?" he asked.
"He's in trouble!" Murphy frantically told him. "He had to expose his hands. He passed out. Look, if we go back now, we can get to him before Praimfaya does."
