When I get there, I see a group protesting against the Scientists, who me and my friends have led demonstrations against, due to their refusal to be either eco friendly or sustainable. They've recently been designing ships and buildings with no thought of the environment. I ask Olivia what's happening. "They're trying to find people to test out their new technology. I'm sure it's dangerous."
I turn to the group of lab coat-clad Scientists. "Hey!" I yell. "Why are you roping innocent people into this like they're lab rats?" They have no right to do this. "Looks like we have our first volunteer." One of the men in the front says. "You should be executed for standing up to us, but today we're feeling generous. Guards, carry her to the chambers." I'm horrified of the possibilities. They are a government run organization, so they wouldn't get in trouble for executing innocent bystanders, which they use to their power in most instances. "We're not going to let you do this." It was Olivia speaking, with my whole friend group behind her.
"No, guys..." I say, my voice cracking. "You're gonna face the consequences, we'll all be in more trouble." "No, you're not doing this alone." Olivia, Aurelia and Luna, along with about three others, start rebelling against the Scientists. In the midst of the chaos, I see my brother William join the Scientists. I can't believe he would join the same people that are trying to kill me.
Before I realize it, I'm crying in the middle of the street. The events of the day have caught up with me. I feel betrayal and inevitable hopelessness. The guards start dragging me and the others to whatever the chambers are. I kick and scream, but to no avail. They carry us to a lab room filled with giant metal cylinders big enough to fit a human inside. They shove us into the cylinders, and close their doors. It's so cold in here. I lose consciousness just minutes after I'm thrown in the tube.
