Group One- Compiled

Hey Guys!!!

I’m just compiling what we have into one post so that we can quickly copy it and ‘write a page’ as soon as y’all approve. I filled in some holes, and I also listed the scenes at the beginning of our action sequence even though it is backwards, just because I think it’s easier to read that way.

Thanks!
