It was still still somewhat dark out as Clarke and Bellamy walked through the woods towards the fallen pod. It was complete silence and neither one had spoken up. Not sure to say to one another.

Bellamy couldn't stop looking over to Clarke as they walked through the forest. Clarke finally stopped walking as did Bellamy and she sighed. "What do you want to say Bellamy, spit it out."

"I'm sorry Clarke."

"I know you are Bellamy, but sorry doesn't cut it this time. You made a decision that could cost everybody's life up on the Ark and also ours by leaving us outnumbered to grounders, we may have Kassandra but even shes not a miracle worker. I love you Bellamy but you just have to give me some time. That's all that I'm asking for please." She said looking up to him and started to walk away leaving Bellamy standing there

"I love you too Clarke." he muttered softly and she watched as she continued walking. He started to walk faster to catch up with her.

Unknown to the others Finn was already at the pod, he opened it, stopping when he saw it was Raven, his girlfriend while he had been on the Ark. "Raven." He checked her pulse to see if she was still alive, sighing in relief when he found it.

He looked down to the radio which was still working but barely.

"Finn what the hell are you doing here?" He turned around to see Bellamy and Clarke running towards him. And he quickly backed away from the pod to reveal Raven who was still unconscious.

"I wanted to see what it was that was in the pod that's all Clarke." Clarke rushed to Raven's side and began to check her out and see the extent of her injuries.

Clarke grabbed the radio, "Ark Station, this is Clarke Griffin. I am transmitting from the ground do you read me."

"Pod one, this is Ark Medical. If you are receiving, please respond."

"They can't hear us." Clarke looked up to Bellamy. He was relieved but he wouldn't tell Clarke that, not wanting to get yelled at.

"Raven can fix it." Finn looked to Raven who was starting to come to and she pulled off her helmet and she caught the eyes of Clarke.

"Am I on the ground?" She asked and Clarke nodded standing up, ready to help her out of the pod if she needed it. "I didn't die."

Clarke chuckled as she helped Raven up and out of the pod.

"No you didn't."

On the Ark

Kane stood off to the side in Jaha's quarters as he read over the plan for the population reduction scheduled to occur later in the day.

"At 1930 hours, all the hatches and vents leading to section 17 will be sealed. It will appear to be a malfunction of the fire containment system." Kane said and Jaha sat thier not looking to pleased.

"So, it'll look like an accident."

"It's essential to maintaining public order after the culling takes place. All residents of Section 17 will be in their sleep period. The council has already issued a writ of consent giving the chancellor permission to carry out the population reduction." Kane said and he handing him the writ.

Jaha didn't take the writ and he looked up to Kane, "A sleeping gas will be introduced into the air."

"On you command, the oxygen supply to Section 17 will be cut off. It should be painless. Document needs your approval."

"You have it... with one alteration. You'll give the authority to cut off the oxygen." Kane looked at him confused.

"I dont have the authority."

"In your capacity as chancellor. Tonight, I'll be in section 17 inspecting repairs to the hull, and when those doors are closed on those people, their my fate will be my fate."

"Your fate. Don't do this."

"My mind is made up. I'm leaving you in terrible times, Marcus, but you... you have a strength that is not weakened by sentiment. And that's exactly what it's going to take for us to survive." Jaha yelled but quieted down and Kane turned away walking out the room.
