Jack opens the cabinets under each of the desks while talking to himself:

<span class="quote speech">Where is that fucking toolbox?</span>

Jack opens the drawers on the desks looking for tools. He also rummages

through the cabinets and drawers in the kitchen area.
|

Well, it isn't there. He continues with the kitchen area. Still

process of making the fork handle more suitable as a screwdriver,

grinding its end over it over and over and over. He does this for a long

time. Over and over and over. His fingers start to go sore and he stops

to inspect his work. <span class="quote speech">Meh, could work.</span>

off the wall, pulling cables out of the box behind it. Jack holds the

fork by the handle and bends the <span class="comment"> middle?

The four of them get in the truck and she pulls onto the road in front of
|
|

the bunker.<br />
|
|

James asks: <span class="quote speech">How far is it?</span><br />
|
|

<span class="quote speech">A decent bit. About an hour if the highway is

The highway has potholes and is partially overgrown but its condition is
|
|
||||||
somehow good enough to drive fast. Michelle floors it and the city
|
|
||||||
outskirts fly by. Within a couple minutes, they make it out of Ivydale,
|
|
||||||
leaving its valley behind. The mountains make way for an area of plains.
|
|
||||||
Michelle takes an exit onto another highway. The large, rusty signs above
|
|
||||||
the road still indicate the proximity of Sentinel Shores where they
|
|
||||||
haven't faded completely.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|

<p>
|
|

The highway takes them north, around the western part of Ivydale's
|
|
||||||
lower side. After a while, they approach Sentinel Shores and Michelle
|
|
||||||
takes an exit onto a rural road. The observatory is located on a hill
|
|
||||||
ahead of them. It's a small group of buildings around a large round
|
|
||||||
building with a dome for a roof. Off to the side is a group of four
|
|
||||||
towers, three of them still holding small geodesic domes.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
Michelle parks the truck on what remains of the large paved area between
|
|
||||||
the buildings and they get out. Trees and bushes grow all over the place,
|
|
||||||
some even out of the windows of the buildings.
