[Since it has been a while, here is a recap of the previous chapter...]
"What's wrong, Teddy Bear?"
I looked down at her, and smiled.
"Nothing, sweetheart. Get some rest." I said, stroking her hair. "You'll need it."

"It looks like... we just hit Granger." Courtney exclaimed, holding the map out for me to see. "I didn't think going through here would've mattered, but... you know, who knew we would find this!"
-
"Well—!"
"GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS IN THE AIR!"
-
"Hey, Jamal! Look what I—!"
"LUCA, STAY BACK!"
"A RUNNER! FIRE!"
-
"Well, I'm Jack. I'll tell you everything you need to know about this place."
"Just like that, huh?"
-
"...Long story short, me and Courtney were separated from our friends. We need to get back to them and make sure they're okay."
"How long has it been?"

"This is fucking ridiculous!"
Mother did not bother looking up from her manicure as I had an outburst, extremely exasperated. "Like I said, we'll find him and eliminate whoever gets in our way. We already have a location." She said, casually.
I paced around her office, continuously glancing at the window overview of our ship's main commons. It was hard to believe we were outside of the earth's stratosphere, given how everyone below worked not as astronauts, like you would imagine it would be in space, but as normal factory workers. What were they manufacturing, exactly...? I never knew. Only whatever the scientists were going to release on the world next.
"Fuckin' Wyoming?!" I slammed my fists down on her desk. It was made of reinforced glass, but it had still cracked a little from the impact due to my bionic fists. Now that is a story for another day. "Our spacecraft is above California, for fuck's sake! How the hell did they take an escape pod all the way over to Wyoming?"
