Ellie: Yeah. Fuck. Where is everyone? They put up this sign
Tom: There's gotta be a way in
He hops off Noel and looks through a FEDRA bungalow, but it's already been picked over except for a paper with the infected stages
Ellie: Anything good?
Tom: Nah. Just a paper with infected stages
They roam further finding corpses as Tommy stays on the ground with his rifle
Ellie: These were soldiers from the QZ. See the FEDRA uniforms?
Tom:(gasps) Holmes! We've done it!
Ellie:(smiles) Okay, don't be like that
Tom:(chuckles) Only joking, honey. But yes, I see the uniforms
Ellie: Think it was the WLF?
Tom: Only assholes, that'd pull shit likes this. Left their bodies here like a warning
Ellie: That's fucked
Tom: It's what the Fireflies did
Ellie nods and looks up to see cracks in the checkpoint wall up top, indicating a way over
Ellie: Maybe we can get in through those. See it?
Tom: Yeah. Just need a way up there
He looks around to find holding cells that provide a way up the catwalk
Tom: Ah, there we are. C'mon, my love
Ellie follows after Tommy and they climb up the holding cells to see a half broken ladder
Tom: Okay, c'mere
He gets into a boosting position for Ellie and she grabs onto the ladder
Ellie: Okay
She climbs up and Tommy whistles in approval
Tom: I am a VERY lucky man, Ellie
Ellie: What?
Tom: The view
Ellie: Oh
She giggles and reaches the top as Tommy hops back down
Ellie: Now you'll catch me, right?!
Tom: Of course, Ellie!
Ellie: Okay!
She reaches a open leap and Tommy encourages her
Tom: Okay, just don't think, just do
Ellie: Okay...
She leaps and almost falls from the platform. Tommy gasps and quickly gets under her
Tom: ELLIE?!
Ellie: I'm okay! I'm okay!
Tom: Fuuuck
Ellie: I'm okay, Tommy
Tom: I know... Just... Just be careful! I love you!
Ellie: I love you, too! Okay, over I go!
Tommy sticks with Noel at the first gate as they hear something open. Ellie approaches Tommy back at the first gate and looks out the lookout slot
Tom: Hellooo
Ellie:(giggles) You're so cute
Tom: Everything alright, there?
Ellie: Yeah. Got that gate open. I gotta figure out this one now. I electrocuted myself, though
She said sticking her hand through the slot and Tommy takes it to see a tiny burn mark
Tom: Oh, no
Ellie: Yeah, but it's okay
Tommy kisses and rubs her hand
Tom: That better?
Ellie: Yes, thank you
She said with a smile and Tommy lets go of her hand
Tom: Okay. Well, keep up the good work
He said putting two thumbs up making Ellie smile
Ellie: Such a dork
She heads off and opens up the gate for Noel and Tommy, who rides the horse in but as they enter the gate drops back down, kicking up a ton of dust as Ellie runs out in worry
Ellie: Are you okay?!
Tom: Yeah, yeah, I'm alright. My lungs aren't though
He coughs as Ellie brings him down to kiss her
Ellie: Thank God
Tom:(smiles) C'mon, I'm sure they heard that
He helps her up onto Noel and she hugs him
Ellie: I'm happy you're doing better
Tom: Yeah... me too. Just I don't have the luxury right now to grieve
Ellie: I know. Just... talk to me, if you need anything, okay?
Tom: Of course
She smiles as Tommy boops her nose
Tom: So, what'd you find?
Ellie: Found a note back there... It had some codes on it. Says there's a WLF safehouse at someplace called "Serevena Base"
Tom: Least it's something. Hopefully find our first WLF
They ride for a bit until coming up on another gate to which they find the WLF safehouse
Ellie: Oh shit, look! Serevena Hotel
Tom: I see it... kind of
Ellie nods and they look at the gate
Tom: Now we just gotta find a way past this "Fuck" FEDRA gate... creative
They move towards the gate code pad
Tom: Uh, know the code?
Ellie: The note I found had a bunch of 'em. But it needs power
Tom: Well, let's give it power
Tommy tries the generator, but there's no gas
Tom: Fuck!
He kicks it and looks to Ellie, who looks at him worriedly
Tom: It's outta gas
Ellie: Well, shit. Wait! The Note!
Tom: Hm?
Ellie: The note mentioned that there's gas in the courthouse and the... "the dome"
Tom: Yes! Oh, I love you
Ellie: I know, I'm the best
Tom: Okay, courthouse garage and the dome. Let's ride around and find them...
Ellie: Let's do it...
