Whilst Nicky is walking with them, she feels the strange feeling again accompanied with a strange noise. She feels a compelling force to destroy any machinery and tries to attack one of the men near a car. They manage to stop her and realise that she may be of use to them. In exchange for their protection and food, she must inform them of anything they do which might endanger the group. She informs them of the danger of the city and they would be better off in the countryside.
