"Ok before we start to work on the radio,I need a powersource for it." Raven looks at lexa from the table "so do you have any type of battery or solar powered system that I could plug it into"

"We don't have anything like that, but would the pod you fell in work"

"Yes it would. If you could take me to where it landed. I could have Monty and Jasper help me get what I need from it"Raven gets up to leave but Lexa stops her

"Actually my people had brought it here. They took it to the backyard" Lexa motioned for Raven to follow her to the back door. and there the pod was,it was more beaten up than it was when it landed; It was ten feet from the door with a table next to it with tools. Raven walked down the porch steps to the pod.

"How did you get this here? This must've taken hours to get here"Raven looks back Lexa

"It did, but we had to remove the back part. Monty showed my people how to take it apart safely and showed us what you need. If you need people to do some grunt work, Me, Anya and Tati are willing to help " Raven saw Monty and the others, then she went straight to work.

"Alright Monty get the radio from inside"Raven points at Jasper and Anya "Jasper give me a hand with unscrewing the control panel, Anya when we we're done I want you and Tati to carefully take it out" Raven throws a tool Jasper "Let's get to work"

Monty came out with the radio and sat at the table and started to work on it. After Jasper and Raven are done unscrewing the panel Anya and Tati carry it to the table. Raven and Jasper grab the battery for control panel

Raven sat at the table with monty. after 30 minutes of Raven tinkering with the radio "damn it, whos the genius who ripped out the radio" Raven says as she and Monty continue to splice the wires to connect to the battery

"I did, it was night and you were unconscious, I didn't have enough time to delicately take out your tech while blood poured from your head. " Anya says across the table with a stern face and her arms crossed. Raven looked at her and swallowed the lump in her throat "no, I-I didn't...Thank you for helping me" 'Raven looks back at the wires

"Onya bants em solo"(Anya leave her alone) Tati says to her with a small smile. Anya turns to Tati "Nowe"(Never)

"Pleni Tati"(enough Tati) Lexa says from the porch steps, she flips to the next page without even looking up at them. "En Onya bants Raven solo"(and Anya leave Raven alone)

"Sha Heda"(yes commander) Anya uncrosses her arms and takes out her knife, she starts playing the knife game

"Aren't you worried you will stab your hand?" Clarke says with her eyes glued to Anya's hand. Anya just looks up at Clarke and moves faster, then she stabs the knife between her ring finger and her middle finger

"Anya, I will make you get me a new table if you keep doing that"

"I'm stronger and a better fighter than you. You can't make me do anything"

"Te odio"(I hate you) Tati says in spanish "you know I can't understand you when you use that language" Anya says, it causes Tati to break into a big smile "that's the point Anya"

"Hablas espanol"(you speak spanish) Raven says to Tati "Si, pero no lo hablo bien"(yes, but I don't speak it well) "¿Cómo aprendió español?"(how did you learn spanish) Raven keeps working on the radio as she talks to Tati "aprendí de un libro"(I learned from a book) Tati isn't lying, she spent hours in spanish class reading from the workbook.

"Alright Monty I'm finished, What about you."

"Give me two seconds.... Immmm allll most dooooone. Ok now I'm done" Monty put his tools down and turned on the radio. They wait for a few seconds just listening to static then finally
