Hanna's choice of headquarters for the Neo-Elementals is the same underground bunker complex the two surviving guards had taken refuge in after the destruction of the compound. Overnight, she had slept in the small room she and Rob had slept in before; today, she will be making more permanent arrangements.

Waking mid-morning, Hanna elects to first explore the entire complex, and build a mental map. The majority of the bunker is empty; however, she does at least find a bathroom, although the plumbing is non-functional.

Hanna's exploration continues until noon, at which point hunger catches up to her. Realising she has no supplies, she swiftly makes her way back to the bunker entrance, leaps on her ATV, and speeds off to Shang Mu.


Hanna returns to the bunker complex late in the evening, with supplies, a hammock, some plumbing tools, and several cans of spray-paint. After erecting the hammock in a convenient room, Hanna spends the rest of the evening spraying the Neo-Elementals logo she designed the day before not only on the bunker entrance, but also numerous times in the rooms and corridors of the complex.

By midnight, all the cans of spray-paint had been spent. Satisfied, and with a few paint stains in her fur, Hanna turns in for the night.


The next morning, Hanna sets about fixing the plumbing. It doesn't take much; after fixing a few leaks, the bunker complex has running water throughout, although there is no hot water supply. But Hanna decides the lack of hot water isn't an issue; she can heat some on demand, thanks to the Fire Crystal.


Late evening; Hanna is swaying gently in the hammock, pleased with the improvements she's made to the bunker complex. I think I'm going to like it here. I do rather miss having company though. I'm surprised Rob hasn't tried to find me yet; then again, it's only been two days since I left him. Maybe he's just taking his time deciding that I'm right. She whiles away the time clicking her fingers. Every click causes a flame to appear at the tip of her thumb; a quick shake of the hand extinguishes the flame.

Hanna sits up suddenly. What if he's preparing to fight me? If he was going to join me in this venture, he'd have come by now, surely? I know he'll have guessed that this is where I'm setting up. It's not like I want to fight him, but if he won't join me, I'll have no choice but to destroy him. He's stood in my way long enough. Hanna lays back down, and closes her eyes. Right now, I've got more important things to worry about; I have unfinished business.
