"The sky is the source of light in nature and governs everything." -John Constable
97 years after a nuclear apocalypse killed everything on Earth, the last surviving space station sends down 100 juvenile delinquents to see if Earth is survivable.
S...
I wake up to the sounds of the silence that allows
For my mind to run around with my ear up to the ground
I'm searching to behold the stories that are told
When my back is to the world that was smiling when I turned

Skye slowly opens her eyes and winces at the brightness. She's inside a room. Everything is white.
There's something attached to her arm. It's a needle. She rips it out and throws it to the floor. Her clothes have been removed and instead replaced with a white body suit.
There's calming music playing over a loudspeaker. A painting sits on the wall, giving the only spark of color.
Skye quickly gets out of the bed she was laying in and notices a door with a small circular window in the middle. She rushes over to it and tries the handle. Nothing.
She looks through the window and gasps.
Across from her, is another room. Inside that room is someone familiar.
"Monty?" She whispers.
He notices movement and looks up. He quickly puts his hand against the window. "Skye?" His voice is muffled.
She shakes her head in confusion. Where is she? Why is Monty here? Why is everything white?
She looks around the hallway through her window and her eyes widen. A sign is on the wall. It reads: Mount Weather Quarantine Ward.
She takes a step back, glancing at Monty across the hall. She's in Mount Weather.

She doesn't know how long she's sitting on the floor against the door. It's been a while. The music is playing softly but it sounds so loud. Eventually she stands up and looks through the window again.
This time she isn't met with Monty. There's someone in a hazmat suit cleaning the room. Monty is gone.
She quickly hits the glass. "Hey! Hey! Where's Monty? What did you do to him?!"
The person in the suit does not hear her. Skye groans and looks around her small white room. There's a camera above her head. She walks over to the bed and grabs the pole her IV bag is hanging on.
She rips the pole out of the stand and walks back over to the window, smashing it into the glass. Shards fly everywhere. She reaches her arm through the hole and touches the door handle on the other side.
