Sawyer stared at the long rows of sleeping prisoners. Each prisoner slept peacefully in their cryo pod. Sawyer leaned her body against Bellamy as they watched their kids trace their hands against the cry pods
"Not too long ago, I'd have thought this was magic"
" 'Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic' Arthur C. Clarke" Raven quoted
"How long can they live like this?" Bellamy questioned "Technically? Forever"
"Or we can kill them all right now" Muprhy claimed entering the room, he turned to look at a bloody Sawyer and Bellamy "What happened to you?" he questioned emotionlessly
"One of them woke up" Echo responded
"Question is how"
"No, the question is what the hell are we waiting for? I'm serious, okay. We're all gassed up. Let's pull the plug on the sleeping army and go home" Murphy replied
"That's not an option; kill theirs, they kill ours" Sawyer corrected
"The pods are all jacked into the mainframe. I'm guessing they activated this one remotely from the ground, probably in response to us tripping their alarm" Raven spoke
Sawyer's eyes widened "When he doesn't check in, they'll wake more of them"
"I'd say that's a good bet"
"Ergo, my 'get the hell out of here' plan" Murphy reminded
"Bellamy, you know what happens when these guys get to the ground. Murphy's not wrong. This is an army. I know how you feel, but it took four of us to take out one of them. Giving them reinforcements when we can stop it is a strategic mistake"
Everyone listened to Echo
"We've been off the ring for less than a day, and we're already talking about murdering hundreds of people" Bellamy sighed dissapointed
"This is not murder. It's survival. They die now or we die later. If Clarke was here, this wouldn't even be-" Murphy's words caused Bellamy's head to snap towards him
"Clarke's not here!" he yelled
"Exactly. She died so we could live, Bellamy! She died so your children could live and this is how we live!"
"Need I remind you that those children are in this room so could we please filter our comments" Sawyer reminded nervous about the conversations being spoken around her 6 year olds
"Maybe we don't kill them. We can leave them here like this, but block the signal from the ground so they can't wake them up" Raven brought up
"They have a shuttle. They can just come back up and do it themselves"
Sawyer racked her brain for solutions "Can you rig it so we can kill them remotely?" she questioned
