"Report." The two scientists in front of the screen looked at each other fearful. "Sh-She i-is sta-stable, sir." The commander glared at them. "Stable enough for export?" He raised his left eyebrow at them. "Yes, sir." The scientist nervously tapped his pen on his clipboard. "Then what are you waiting for?!" He exclaimed. "Get the child a transport, Its time we sent her out." Click. The screen went off leaving the screen black and the scientists confused. They both rushed over to the girl strapped down to the table. One untied her feet straps and the other did her arms. Black White. Black White. I could feel the doctors moving around the table. The only thought in my mind that I could process was 'Black White'.

John strapped a breathing mask onto my face then turned the pressure knob so I could 'Breath'. The rolling vibrated me to sleep, still twitching yet calmly I blacked out.
