Angela Petrov

Year 59 618

Lockup – System 2

Angela knew that getting caught was a risk of being a part of the Normals Justice Alliance. Essentially they were a small group of vigilantes that took justice into their own hands because they suspected a hidden agenda within the IBF. There used to be about 50 of them but now there were only 11 after a bunch of them disappeared while at their base. They suspected it was Pause and had to find a new base of operations.

After the gangs met on Moon City the NJA ambushed a group of fleeing Felons United in an attempt to arrest them. They were unlucky. The IBF's Squad U showed up and upon their arrival the NJA retreated. They all managed to escape except for Angela who was only seconds from jumping over the fence but then began sinking through the ground as if in quicksand.

She was arrested for vigilantism and was on a prison ship to Lockup.

The ship landed abruptly and roughly. The lights in the passenger compartment flickered on illuminating her fellow passengers. There were eight of them, four across, and three to her right. The one directly across from her was a frozen Wumster in some sort of containment chamber. On her right was a massive burly, muscled man with six arms that were contained within metallic sleeves that were locked onto a metal jacket. A door within the ship opened on their right and a girl on the other end growled like a lion.

A man with a brown beard and a blue cap and uniform walked in. He pulled a lever beside the door and the ship door opened to the left. A ramp came down out of the ship to touch the ground of a landing pad. Waiting outside was a group of about ten armed men in identical uniforms of some sort of grey plated vest and blue trousers and jackets with their last names on their left breast.

"What in the blazes are you waiting for? Stand!" the bearded guard said.

"D-d-do you know who I a-am?!?!" one of the prisoners yelled. It was a boyish looking man who couldn't have been much older than 20.

"Quiet scum!"

The group stood making a bunch of clinking noises as they did so. They were all shackled together and the bearded man disconnected the chain from the ship.

"Get off! Single file!" he yelled. "Robot you push the Wumster!" he said to an Asian android woman prisoner who had a buzz cut and a diagonal scar over her mouth.

Angela was at the front of the line and stepped off the ship where the guards were waiting. It was night-time, and it was raining heavily.

"Follow me," a female guard said leading the way.

Angela observed the surroundings of Lockup. As far as the eye could see, was the prison, massive clusters of dull grey buildings all over the planet. A few yards away in front of them was a large door manned by two guards, there were other landing pads around them but only one other ship had landed. From that platform, ten guards escorted an old man in some tattered robes. Below the platforms and landings was an endless sea of sharp rocks.

The line proceeded to the door following the woman, while the rest of the guards were following behind the prisoners training their guns on their backs.

"Let's stay togetheeeeerr. Not safe alone heh heh," some guy from the middle said with a really creepy and low voice as they walked.

"Bloody nutter. Shut your gob mate," some male prisoner with an accent said. Unfortunately, Angela couldn't see any of them because she was at the front.
