The top members of the S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W sat at the long, glass table waiting for their leader to speak. The woman of Japanese descent sat at the head of the table, her dark eyes watching them like a hawk. She wasn’t wearing her usual smile with her whitened teeth brightening the room. She had different business to discuss.
“I believe we all remember the greatest riot we’ve had since the wars of 2013.” She spoke louder than she had to. “And the cause.”
They all nodded in unison without saying a word. She pulled up images of the famous killjoys on a screen behind her. Most were distorted, having been taken with surveillance cameras. The group knew the faces well.
“This group is on the most wanted list. Our main reason being that we wanted to question them. Their recent attacks on our city have brought us to the conclusion that they are on the Extermination list. They will not be taken in. At the same time, I would not like you to try and search them out. They will not be provoked. Once you see them, you must exterminate. We will not risk having our city torn down by rebels.”
All of the S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W but one nodded. That one got up from the table. All heads turned to him. He left the room without a word. He was leaving the city. Escaping this world of perfection. He was awake.
