Fatal Order

Part 5: Slaughtering Solidarity - 4

That next morning, Alex was abruptly awoken.

Not by any of Fate's announcements, but rather, by somebody outside in the Living Quarters hall, shouting relentlessly.

"HEEEEY! EVERYBODY!" They shouted.

Their voice was a bit muffled due to Alex just waking up, and the fact that the door separated him from the sound.

But it was just loud enough to wake him up from his slumber.

"I'VE GOT A GOOD FUCKIN' REASON FOR THIS!" They shouted once again.

As Alex rubbed his eyes and sat up in his bed, continuing to listen to the person shouting outside, he decided he should probably find out what exactly it was that was so important.

"7:03?!" He gasped to himself as he glanced over at the digital clock on his bedside table.

It was clear that whoever was shouting their lungs out behind the door had wasted no time.

Whatever it was, it was obviously very important, or else it could've waited.

So, knowing this, Alex begrudgingly shoved his body into some clothes and stepped out of his room, while trying to adjust his vision to the bright lights outside.

"Oh!" Jobari exclaimed. "Alex, my guy! I knew you'd listen to me!"

"What the hell do you want-?" Alex annoyedly asked, shielding his eyes from the light.

Then, before Jobari could respond, someone else decided it was their turn to complain.

"Uggggh!" Maria groaned heavily. "What. The. FUCK? Your shouting out here half deafened me!"

"You always seem to have ear issues, Maria," Alex commented. "Maybe you should see a doctor."

"Heheh..." Jobari laughed. "Don't worry, it'll all make sense once everybody's out of their rooms so then, I can explain my plan."

"Your plan?" Alex asked.

"That's right," Jobari turned to face him, "I have a plan to get us all out of here! But... I need everyone to agree to it."

Alex understood now.

The thing that was so important... was Jobari believing he had found a way to escape the facility.

He honestly doubted anything would come from it but, anything was worth a shot right now.

And as he thought deeply about what this plan might be, all of the others slowly slouched out of their rooms, looking as half-dead as Alex and Maria were.

"I pray for your sake this is something important, Mr. Ubuntu," Adam sighed.

"Seriously..." Dante scoffed. "I am fucking tired. This better be really good or I swear to-"

"It *is* really good!" Jobari interjected. "Listen, all of you. I have a plan to get us all out of here."

"Out of the fat silly tea?!" Nathan gasped. "How on earth could you pussy bleed do that?!"

"This is a simulation, isn't it?" Jobari asked.

"Right..." Alex hesitantly agreed.

"So, all we have to do is break it."

"What a foolish plan," Adam commented. "You do understand that 'breaking' anything outside of our own rooms is against the rules right? On top of that, you'd *also* be breaking the rule that prohibits any attempts of escape."
