Far away in the Northern Mountains, Ethel learned the news of Hecate attacking the Farm. Following Randall's instructions, Ethel prepared to head to the Farm to help Hecate.
Before that, however, Ethel needed to make some preparations to prevent Fred's men from breaking into her home at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Ethel: "Hela, how are your contacts coming along?"
Hela: "According to them, they should arrive today."
Ethel: "Good. Once everyone is here, I have a mission for you all."
Hela: "What is it?"
Hela: "Do you want the truth or a lie?"
Hela: "Cut the suspense and just say what you mean."
Ethel: "We are leaving Beishan to head to the Farm. Once the people you contacted arrive and I brief them on the precautions, we'll leave."
Hela: "I see. Don't worry, I guarantee Fred won't be able to raid our place before you get back."
Ethel: "I forgot to ask, how many people are there in total, excluding you?"
Hela: "Fifteen. Why?"
Ethel: "It's nothing, just wanted to see how many people you have so I can make arrangements."
With that said, Ethel glanced at the six fully-loaded gift boxes in the Warehouse, and then asked 000895.
