"I don't understand why you people won't let me see her," Aleta Correia said to a guard. She was beyond annoyed. Once again, she wasn't allowed to see her friend. I mean sure Clarke was in confinement, more specifically solitary, but Aleta felt that someone should be able to see her.

"You know the rules. She isn't allowed visitors," the guard answered impatiently. Aleta sighed, "But she didn't do anything wrong." The guard barely glanced her way. "She was arrested for treason," he said. "Yeah but she didn't actually commit treason! I've been trying to tell you people this for a year," Aleta replied.

Clarke hadn't done anything wrong. She was sure of it. It didn't make sense to her why she had been arrested and her father floated. The whole thing never sat well with her.

The man sighed in frustration, "Go back to your living quarters or something. The answer is and always will be: no." With a huff, Aleta turned away from the guard before turning to face him again.

"I'll be back," she promised before turning to the exit. "Of course you will," the guard sighed tiredly.

Aleta angrily walked down the hallway and went to the Ark Station Medical, where she knew her mom would be. It was located on the Government & Science Station, which was a fairly long walk from the Sky Box. When she entered, she noticed that it seemed to be busier than usual, which was a little strange. She looked around the room until her eyes landed on dark hair.

She made her way over to her mother, who was rummaging through a medicine cabinet. "Mom," Aleta called, making her mother jump. Gianna Correia turned to face her daughter. She gave her a quick smile before continuing what she was originally doing.

"I'm a little busy sweetheart. Why don't you come back later?" Her mother said. "Mom, they still won't let me see her. It's been a year," Aleta groaned. Gianna turned to face her daughter again. "It's the rules Ali, but don't worry, I'm sure you'll see her again," her mother replied with a tight-lipped smile. The woman knew that it probably wasn't true. It all depended on whether or not Earth was survivable.

Gianna felt guilty for what was going to happen. For what she was going to let happen. But the Ark was dying and they were out of possible solutions.

"Yeah I doubt it," Aleta stated glumly. She looked around the room again before looking at her mom. "What's going on around here anyway?" She asked the older woman. Gianna smiled, a fake smile, and shook her head. "Nothing that you need to worry about," she answered. Aleta narrowed her eyes. She didn't believe what her mom was saying.

Mrs. Correia cleared her throat. "Don't you have somewhere to be?" She asked her daughter. Aleta nodded, "Yeah. I should probably go. I'll see you later." She sent the woman a smile and left the medical center. She walked down one of the many hallways of the Ark, running her hand down the cold wall as she does so.
