Night 3
After the blast that killed Chat0yant and the Marzie, the remaining tributes settle into a tense and uneasy night inside the space lab. Everyone stays cautious.

After the events of the day, Limited realizes that she needs a weapon - Luckily the sponsors are on her side asa gift drops right in front of her. Inside: a sharp, polished hatched.

Elisia is setting up their own camp, is it possible to make their own civilisation? There's no doubt that they would make it strong in an apocalypse at least, especially not after the sponsor dropping that just happened. Weapons and water. This is all they need to survive... for now. But does it every get lonely?

Glade, Eliah, and Skyvee share a fragile peace, taking turns to sleep while the others keep watch.

Dazzle is devastated when she discovers that her camp has been raided, she had food, water... Everything she needed to survive and now it is all gone.
The sponsor's must have taken pity on her, as a package drops. It it filled with fresh food.
The sits in the dim light, contently eating the food. As she sits there, she starts whispering to herself, it is hardly audible - What is she up to? Is she planning or is she just losing her mind?

The Mercurii still sits in the room all alone, maybe no one dares to come near after the explosion earlier? Then it hears something, Sadbread is sneaking around. Will they walk into one of the leftover traps or will they survive?
Suddenly a hand reaches down towards where the Mercurii is hiding. Sadbread got into its camp, so they decide to stay there together for the night.

Toraix isn't doing well in this arena, it is as if the walls are closing in on him. Overwhelmed by everything, cries quietly before drifting into a restless sleep.

Day 4 of the Drekkal’Zuun

Eliah, Glade and Skyvee split up, both needing supplies and space. Trust only goes so far.

Still having blood on her mind, Glade is on the hunt for other contestants. And when she spots the Mercurii alone she decides that it has to be the next victim.
Glade lays out a track of something looking like berries, in reality they are small pebbles and other small objects painted with sap from the Kirr plant.
The Mercurii sees these 'berries' and happily eats them, because it has been starving. Only just realizing that those weren't berries when it is too late.

Toraix injures himself while trying to climb through a collapsed corridor. He curses under his breath but keeps moving.

Elisia, Limited and Sadbread, though split up, have similar minds as they both go hunting for other contestants.

Dazzle, steadying her nerves, spends the day practicing throwing her sickle with calm focus. Each throw hits a little closer to center.

Night 4
The night is anything but quiet, weird sounds moves through the corridors. Beeping, voices and footsteps.

Limited, shaking from days of fear and exhaustion, is still out hunting. She throws her hatchet at Dazzle.. But misses. The throw was strong and the blade spins - fast, deadly - and hits Sadbread in the back. They fall to the ground without a sound.

In a different corridor, Toraix and Skyvee clash in a brutal fight. Toraix shoots his slingshot, but it does little damage. Actually, it only attracts Skyvee's attention. She grabs a pipe from the floor and strikes back. Hard.
Toraix collapses to the ground - Maybe he was too optimistic to take on this fight?

Glade is watching. She’s found a hidden place above the lab, crawling through vents and air ducts, staying completely unseen.

Elisia is deep inside their makeshift base, perfecting it, sharpening tools, polishing weapons. They will not allow a single soul inside, of that they are sure.

Eliah moves carefully through the dark halls, looking for the supplies.

Drekkal'Kael - The Feast
The lights in the center of the lab shifts a cool white to red. A mechanical voice echoes through the arena:
"Supplies have been restocked at the Kor’Zeluun. Proceed with caution."

Eliah, clutching her supplies, hears the announcement far from the center. She doesn’t move.

Limited hears the call but doesn’t answer it. She's survived this long by staying cautious. She's not about to throw that away.

At the Kor’Zeluun, Skyvee arrives too late. Elisia is already there, waiting. A fight breaks out. It's quick and brutal. Elisia overpowers her and finishes her off. Skyvee, falls in silence.

Dazzle, still dazed from past days, searches through the supplies. She doesn’t hear the footsteps behind her. Glade appears from a shadow, silent and swift. She drives a knife into Dazzle’s back.

Day 5 of the Drekkal’Zuun
The aftermath of the Drekkal’Kael still lingers. The Kor’Zeluun is quiet again, but the arena feels heavier

Glade receives a silver hatchet from a sponsor. It's clean, sharp, and fits her hand perfectly. Someone out there wants her to win - She can feel it.

Elisia is back at their makeshift camp, when someone comes up. Eliah is getting closer, and as soon as she gets too close Elisia strikes - Sending Eliah running.

Limited finds a small box waiting for her near a broken vent. Inside: medical supplies.

Night 5
The fifth night settles in like a thick fog. The space lab is darker than usual - some lights don’t turn on at all.

Eliah is exhausted and alone. She uses her last energy to make a small fire, at least that'll give her some comfort in these trying times.

Glade and Elisia cross path by accident while they search the same supply room. At first both draw weapons, moments pass by and none of them strikes.
They stare awkwardly at each other, both tired, both just surviving. Eventually they decide to lower their weapons.
While searching for supplies they both talk quietly through the night, sharing stories from their lives. This time, there's no blood.

Unfortunately, the medical supplies didn't do her any good. No medicine or bandages can help her here. Lips cracked, skin dry - Limited closes her eyes. Who would have thought that thirst would be her way out of here?
