Late yesterday
afternoon, after the discovery that Jenni and Lara had been abducted, a mass-meeting
was held in the communal area. The
Thayne have made it clear they'll stop at nothing to populate their garrison
with women. They've taken Jenni, and
Lara, her three year old daughter, and we’ve heard more reports of missing
women from the other shelters. I’m in no
doubt I would have been abducted too had the Nicor not put in an appearance at
the right moment. The dwellers realise
that we're not as cocooned in our community as we thought. We feel utterly violated. Most think the Thayne have dug a tunnel into
the compound which is so well hidden we don't notice it, but Ethan and I aren’t
so sure. The mystery deepens. How they get in is beyond us. We've searched high and low and still no
answer.
In the middle of
the 2030s we were all scared of hidden bombs from revolutionary factions. I remember the feelings of vulnerability and
how much our fear disabled our lives; stopping us from doing ordinary, everyday
things. Now those feelings have
infiltrated the compound. If we ever
thought our situation couldn't get any worse than simply starving to death, we
were wrong.
