"Sir! System AWR001 is failing!",I turned to my Primary.

,"What's happening Collins?", He sighed irritated.

"Her heart rate is becoming irregular, blood pressure is rising and her oxygen levels are decreasing." I look at the man look at her vitals and quickly sprint his way down the hall. I follow close behind him.

We enter the room that has the teenagers. Each stabilized except for Amelia. She's the one we've been having problems with lately.

Jeez! When will this girl give me a break! I can't lose this job, I just can't!

I touch the 'water' and nothing happens. Other than the fact that I touched nothing. My hand went right through. Although this was the first time I've actually touched water.

Is it suppose to do that? No, Amelia, it's not. Water is a liquid. You're supposed to be able to feel a liquid.

My heart starts to beat fast, my breathing gets harder and my vision becomes blurred.

"AMELIA!!-" Bailey dash's over to my side- "ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL YOURSELF!?"

She placed my head in her lap. My vision becomes too blurry to even recognize her and our surroundings.

"SOMEBODY HELP!" her voice ripens into the distance and everything goes black.

We take her out of the room full of children and take her to the infirmary. Her face grimaced with pain. In a sense, it was odd seeing her like this being that of all the times I've ever seen her, her face was relaxed.
Actually, I haven't seen her and the others' faces in person in a while. I see them but only through the cameras monitoring them. All at once reality hit me.

Is this okay? What we're doing to these kids is...

"Collins!?" I snapped out of my thoughts. I feel as though he could read my mind with my facial expressions. "Uhh... sorry sir," I gave a reply swiftly while darting my eyes back between him and the floor. He just returned a questioning look.

He and I left the infirmary and returned back to my office. I tried starting a conversation.

"Is there something happening?-" I asked him sitting down. He didn't answer-"Because YOU NEVER come down here unless it's important." I let out a nervous laugh. "That's your business how?" he remarked nonchalantly. Silence fell in the room and neither of us made eye contact but stayed busy looking around the room.

So, I tried again to conversate. "Do you think this is right?" this time I stared in his eyes trying to figure the answer before he could say something. In the room, it felt like a pause on a movie the played when he stated
"We are doing this because it's right. Are we not?-" I was taken back a bit. He started to lean on the other side of an empty desk-"We all must sacrifice something for the greater good,"
