[meadqueen]

Zam is gone. I do not know what happened - she was here last night, but no one has seen her since. Some of her items remain here, but her call sign has disappeared.

[cactusy]

you said she was getting better. was she sick? feverish?

[meadqueen]

No. Her arm was amputated before she arrived here, but the wound was clean. She was getting stronger.

[cactusy]

then we shouldn't rule out foul play as a possibility.

[meadqueen]

I don't know. There are five other people sleeping out there. No signs of a struggle. Why not kill all of us?

I tried to look for her out there but any tracks are long gone.

[cactusy]

we don't have a solid idea of who our enemies are or what their motives are, do we?

[meadqueen]

No.

There was no blood, her bedding was not disturbed, her shoes are still here but everything she arrived with is gone. I don't know what it means.

The one out there who has killed us fires a warning shot first.

[cactusy]

the first time i was killed, i was attacked by multiple people from multiple directions.

i'm saying we don't know enough about the situation to assume there's no reason for them to have taken her, or for them to not have gone after everybody. you guys should start lookout shifts.

[meadqueen]

Yes, you're right.

[K had been doing that, but of course he's not here right now]

To come here in this

Lightning struck very close.

[cactusy]

how sturdy is the shelter?

[meadqueen]

It is old, and there is not much that we could do about any loose roof panels, but we reinforced it as best we could once Martin spotted the storm over the sea. Senku checked and it is grounded against lightning strikes.

[cactusy]

good.

keep checking in. maybe try to get kokichi to stick closer to the group.

[meadqueen]

What about you, are you safe?
