Nano 1.0 Vol 1. On a rock in the hard place ...

New immate : Jack

The window showed endless blue, foward...backwards just nothing but blue the ocean was vast.  The prison was in the middle of the ocean  and can submerge and ride into the ocean. Soon it would be a new home. My new home, nothing back with my old life.

"Heads up inmate we will be landing soon" a guard shouted. I was the only inmate on the helicopter but there was other people.  There was a scientist and a bigger guy next to him who seem a to be a priest. The scientists had a creepy look on his face. Was he a nano mutate?  A Nano mutate was individuals who were changed by that terrorist attack. These changes can be minimal or major. Some people gained abilities like enhanced strength (that was a common one) and some elemental abilities. Some people were rare enough to have multiple abilities and they usually had a higher nanite count in their blood stream. Funny enough my blood test revealed I had more nanites in my bloodstream than I had believed before. Hence why I am here on this rock.

"We will be landing soon" the pilot announced.  The scientist nudged the priest fellow next to him to wake him up, he was huge . Like he was tall and had an opposing aura.

"Brother it has seems that we have arrived" the scientist  said , they both gave me the creeps . We began to descend and there was a landmass below which began to ascend and open up to a helipad. The helicopter began to land and the scientist and priest rose up and the scientist approached Jack. "Follow your gut and you will do well here ." He said. "Follow the Red Fox Jack"

Follow the Red Fox what does that even mean... furthermore how did he know my name?
"Who ar" I tried to ask but he was already off the helicopter and it didn't feel right to shout or speak up. It's was a good 5 minutes before one of the guards came to fetch me .

" We are heading down inmate!" The guard spoke, his voice was low and gravely, almost like a growl. "Stand over there!" He was pointing towards a odd looking platform that might be a elevator. The guard stood next to me and we began to descend as well too it took about a min but then I was able to see it. There was an artificial sky that mimicked what time and the sky of outside. Below the sky was the most breathtaking. There was a city full of high rises and strip malls .

"Amazing..." it was the only thing I could mutter. This prison was vast and huge.

"Yes last time we did a census on this place, there was just over 3 million inmates, the first inmate was a girl with scarlet red hair she is one of the most dangerous of all time. She blew up an airport" the guard went on. I had read about that story we learned about it in school. Not much though they never said her motive behind this.

"What was her name, is she still around here?" I was intrigued...

"Clara , maybe Zara eh who knows..." the guard replies "She's around here somewhere, this prison is unique you can move around you are not confined to your cell."

"Why is that?" That's odd, the inmates have free reign?

"It's because this place houses the dangerous of the dangerous. We don't believe in death row... the so most offenders last spot." I see so the worse of the worse come here and they are just given so,e freedom but they can never leave... I guess I can never leave ... "Also what is your power inmate?"

"I don't know..."

"What you mean you don't know? Can you fly? Do you have elemental powers?"

"I honestly don't know. I never displayed or discovered my abilities..."

"Then how the fuck are you here?" He seemed annoyed and began to pull up my file "Well son of a Bitch.... It actually says unknown"

"Yup gee thanks" I didn't know what was worse...me being here or the fact I don't know why I am here . I am in jail because I was convicted of murder but not normal people jail. Another thing that was bugging me was the fact I don't remember committing the crime... everyone said I did it but I don't know what I did.
I just know she's gone... I feel sick ...

"Hey don't puke here on the lift we are almost on street level" the guard yelled. We were on the ground floor and what looked like a beautiful vast city from above didn't look like that street view. It was a ghetto "Most inmates are free roaming, they might kill and other things here. The real dangerous ones are in ISO."

"So do I have a cell or a room or whatever?" Was he just gonna drop me off on the streets.

"Typically inmates are sorted by abilities, since you are unknown we will put you in a holding cell in processing." The guard went on "Then the hazing happens"

I had stopped walking for a second "Excuse me, hazing?"

"This is your personal hell, literally and figuratively." He was sneering "Don't die is my advice"

Damn...damn...dammit it all. This room stunk of waste and mold. The bed sheets were clean though so that was nice. At least  I wouldn't get bed bugs here. There wasn't hand cuffs really there was inhibitors wrist bracelets, for those who had abilities.
"This is my life huh?" Oh I'm not talking to anyone. Do I get a phone call I should have asked. I have a sister out there , but we haven't spoken in years.

"So you're the new guy?" Someone questioned a woman's voice.

"Looks like it." I responded "Hello my name is Jack."

"I am pretty sure I didn't ask your name..." she responded that was kinda rude , but she  could be a guard or an inmate. didn't I couldn't see her.

"My bad. So what brings you over in this area" this way I can gauge who she is and what she wants...

"Debating if I should kill you or if you could be useful" she replied this coldly and I don't doubt she could kill me. Her words put a chill down my spine. But I won't punked I stood up and faced the woman behind a wall. She had green eyes and scarlet red hair. Her hair was long and her build was slender but muscular.

"I wanna be useful." I didn't wanna be killed , "But I guess that would be up to you"

"Tomorrow I hear things will happen here you might be attacked. I will fetch you and come with me"

"How do I know I can trust you?" This whole thing seemed sketchy...

"You don't" she said bluntly. "We are all criminals here." She began to walk off. "If I was coming by though it would be right after lunch"

Great I have a last meal at least...
