Location: Rooftops
Day: July 12th, 2042. The day of the Second Android Revolution
Time: 12:00 pm

It was a windy day, but today was also a day of war. The androids of Jericho has gathered on the rooftops along with, probably, the entire police force (you can thank Connor for that!). There was one problem: Violet wasn't there.

Anastasia was there. Kolt was there. Ottavia and Lexi were there.

...but Violet wasn't.

Despite worries, doubts and nerves everyone held it all in. To keep calm, and not show fear, because like a lion, Roger could smell and see fear.

Finally, after what felt like an agonizing eternity, Roger appeared. He stopped, clearly off guard and confused. He certainly wasn't expecting the entire police force and so many androids on rooftop.

"You wanted to talk. So let's talk." Markus explained, noticing Roger's confused face. The murderer turned to the android leader and curtly nodded.
"If you insist." Roger slightly hissed.
"Why are you hunting us?"
"Easy. Because I can. You're all a bunch of plastic machines anyway." Roger growled at Markus.
"Listen, I wouldn't mess with me if I were you." Roger added with a smirk. Now it was Markus' turn to be confused.
"What do you-" he was cut off by a smoke grenade going off.
"Everyone run!!!!" Markus shouted, as people began to cough, lose consciousness and run off in different directions.

Location: Alleyway
Time: 12:20 pm

Ottavia and Lexi panted, out of breath, and both leaned up against a wall. Markus, North, Kara and Connor were with them, but stopped to let the two humans rest.
"We... need to find Violet." Ottavia explained, as she continued to pant, her heartbeat slowly going down.
"She was supposed to be here, goddamnit!!" Lexi cursed with a slight growl in her voice. (Would you believe that I was in catholic school for the years and confirmed? No. Me either with the language XD).

Ottavia got up, finally being able to breath normally.
"Maybe she is here? Maybe she got scattered like everyone else?" Ottavia suggested.
"Or she could be dead." Lexi mumbled, making Ottavia widened her eyes at her.
"Don't say that, Lexi!!!" Ottavia shouted in a scolding manner.
"ALRIGHT! I'm sorry," Lexi snapped, "just... help me up." Ottavia offered her hand, and both turned back to the androids.
"Let's keep going." Ottavia suggested and they nodded, beginning to run again.

Location: Alleyway
Time: 12:28 pm

Meanwhile, in another abandoned alleyway, Luther, Alice, Anastasia, Kolt, Savannah, Yui, William, Rebexi, Natalya, Arielle, Herlee, Gayge, Zavr, Danom, Conrad, Regan, Fyster, Molly and Farrah were also running, getting scattered with a few other androids.

"How long have we been running?" Yui questioned, as they all decided to rest near an abandoned pipe tunnel (h-hey! No!! Don't ruin it! I know it's not logical but it's all I can think of).
"Don't know. Does it matter?" Kolt asked quickly, as he kept his eyes on the outside.
"Just... just wondering." Yui explained with hesitance, as Kolt sounded very agitated to her. He didn't respond and everyone became silent. Suddenly there were footsteps approaching the pipe, everyone glanced at each other before bolting towards somewhere safer.

Location: Streets of Detroit
Time: 12:34 pm

Crystal, Rupert, Ashley and Ralph were all together, trying to get through the crowded streets of Detroit. People kept staring and whispering to each other, probably because of Ralph's visible scars.
"We're going to die. Ralph is going to die. Ralph will never see Ottavia again." Ralph kept muttering this for what seemed like an eternity. Ashley, Rupert and Crystal stopped, as Ralph continued to mutter to himself and walk through the crowds of people.
