    ... sleep, all of you," Jackson ordered.

Crystal and I reported to the hydroponics farms at daybreak, according to plan. By early afternoon, each of us had met the measure for a full day of work, hand picking grapes with care.

"I told you, once we meet the quota for the day, we have the rest of the day to do what we want," Crystal says.

"But what are we..." I begin...

"ShHhh, just come," Crystal whispers as she attaches one end of her slave chain to her bracelet and then clips the other end to my septum ring.

Crystal leads me away from the farms, up a few levels, and finally to a fringe area of our underground colony - a place which is unfamiliar to me. There is a makeshift sign on the wall which reads:

">> Old Colony<<"

">> Closed beyond this point<<"

We pause.

Crystal nudges me with her elbow and uses her fingers to spread open a little pocket in her robes. She looks down to the contents expecting me to follow suit.

"It's one of my mom's old access keycards. It will let us explore some. Let's go see what we can find," she says.

At about the same time when Crystal's mother, Sa'Selena, initiates a colony wide alarm due to an intrusion warning originating from a surface access point in the Old Colony ruins, Crystal and I are in those very ruins, investigating an old school playroom. There are two doors located at opposite ends of the room. Crystal is placing alphabet blocks to spell out "Crystal was here", and I'm sorting through ...
    ... a collection of worn dolls. When the alarm starts clanging, it feels like someone suddenly just punched me in the chest. I'm so startled that my arms jerk and the doll that I'm holding is launched across the room. For a moment everything seems like it is happening in slow motion. The doll lands at the feet of a large figure who just opened the door opposite to where Crystal and I are posed like mannequins, momentarily frozen in surprise and fear.

"Run," I scream.

I grab Crystal's arm and pull her through the door opposite to where the intruder entered.

We run as quickly as our legs can carry us, back the way we came, out of the Old Colony ruins, toward safety. Crystal is in front with me on her heels. We have a small advantage because we know the way.

I risk a glance over my shoulder, confirming that we are being chased. I see three or four figures running behind us, their shadows morphed into monstrous shapes against the walls by the low level emergency lighting.

As we approach the heavy steel security door which gates entry to and from the ruins, we see it begin to swing closed.

"Hurry... hhH hhHh," I pant.

Our pursuers are shouting behind us in gruff bass tones which I have never heard before from anyone alive. So close... We are so close, but I sense that we are not going to make it. The door is closing. The men are nearly upon us. In desperation I lunge forward and push Crystal through the quickly narrowing gap. I see her stumble and fall beyond the ...
