[b]The Message
/b Gemma White 2009
Ebony looked down. The wind whipped her stark white hair around her small frame. Below her, streets and ant people flickered menacingly, like drunken reflections. Everything was bathed in red. She needed to return to base soon, or she would be unable to move, let alone escape with the chip.
She concentrated hard, and could hear the stomping of boots on the fire escape to the roof. One more level and they would be up here. There was nothing for it. She had to jump. She leapt, and hoped that even with her low energy levels, her inbuilt emergency landing mechanism would still be functional.
In a matter of 3 seconds, she had left the rooftop, and government agents had flooded the car park where she had previously been standing. Gravity took power over her body, until she was plummeting like a ragdoll, pavement surging up to greet her.
The pavement was red. The sky, a deep burnt amber. But she was lucky. She had just enough energy left. She landed, encased in a rubber cocoon. Inside, she was sheltered by a silken airbag that took the impact of the fall. She rolled off to a side alley, and made a call. EB to base, EB to base, made emergency landing, corner Field Street and Temple Alley. Am out of energy. They saw me. Hurry. She closed her eyes. The pulsating redness died down to a cool soft black.
Ebony? Ebony! Can you hear me?
Mwerrr? She woke with a massive headache. Running on empty was never a good idea, and only made for an unpleasant recovery. She opened one eye. It was okay. She was safe, at least, for the moment. She was in a room half-lit with candles. Deep shadows formed in mysterious corners. On some of the moist, lichen-ridden brick walls, maps had been hastily pinned up. At the end of the room was a bookcase filled with cobwebbed spines. There was a fireplace of old ashes, and to one side, a mattress and blanket. This minimalism was necessary. It allowed for an easy escape. All evidence must either be easily transported, or virtually invisible. Even in this forsaken part of the city, they always had to be careful. Their operation could not afford to be found.
Can you walk?
Ebony slowly moved to her feet, whilst leaning her arm on Camuss shoulders. She was still weak. Did you get the chip? I had it on me.
Yes I got it, but it doesnt make a lot of sense. I am still decrypting it.
They staggered towards the bookcase. Camus reached up and took a book off the top shelf, flipped to the last page and spoke an incomprehensible stream of words. The bookcase opened slowly of its own accord, without even dropping a book. They stumbled into a small room. The floor was stone, and in two seconds time, it started moving downwards. Eventually, it stopped.
Some more incomprehensible mumbling came from Camuss lips, and a wall slid open. Inside was an immaculate laboratory, filled with machines of all shapes and sizes. Shiny metal gears, springs and pipes covered every surface parts raided and stolen, cleaned up to former glory.
I cant believe we are this close to knowing The Message. The one script that keeps everyone under their power, doing their bidding, committing such inhumane acts, said Ebony.
We cant get ahead of ourselves. Until I have cracked the code, we are no closer to stopping them. And now that they have seen you, we will need to create an identity dodge. They will be scouring the streets until they find you, or it. But for the moment, sit down. You still need to rest.
He helped her to a chair, and then continued walking towards a large board of panels, buttons and levers. It seems to be working, certain sections of the information coil are unraveling. This is promising.
So, once we have The Message, what do we do with it?
We decode it, and we create an antidote, he said
