"I... don't know, girl," Prius mumbled. "Maybe? I don't see any ships ready for loading... but then again..."

"'m nervous, though," Prius mumbled, eyes starting to grow more focused. "What if this is just an excuse to kill us off? Population on this hunk of metal 's already off the charts."

"They wouldn't waste resources to lie to teenage criminals. If it were an excuse to kill us off, they'd have already killed us without the song and dance," she replied, gripping her cane anxiously. "Probably."

"True." She glanced around. "What do you think it'll be like if we make it there?"

"Probably not radioactive. Not anymore," Prius sighed. "Plants, bro. They have a way of... of..." His eyes grew distant again. "Of taking all the bad stuff in them an' just getting it out. Over time."

She nodded. "The greenhouse workers certainly think that. Do you think the animals are still there?"

"We'll have to see I guess." She thought for a moment. "I don't imagine any of them will be domesticated like they used to be."

"It'll be cool to see them." If they don't look carnivorous. "Hey, it looks like something's starting." A few official-looking adults had entered.

Prius looked up, only vaguely aware of the three adults. They had positioned themselves atop a sort of balcony, looking down into the prison yard. Their speech sounded warbled and unintelligible to him.

"Get up! Didn't you hear? We're leaving in ten minutes, gotta secure a good seat on the dropship." The adults were still speaking, but most everyone had gotten up and surged towards the ship door.

"Huh?" Prius looked up, dazed. "Alright, alright. Just give me a second, babygirl. I need... whoa." Standing up brought a rush to his head, making the entire room wobble.

"Nisha. Not babygirl. Are you okay?" She stood, also slightly wobbly. "Look at me."

Her eyes widened. "Are you serious? How did you even-" She looked up. "Just follow me. We have to get to the dropship or they'll kill us. Or something." She thought all the vile curses she could remember as she made her way to the ship.

Prius followed unsteadily, a vague sort of smile spreading across his face. "Heheh.... That ship's gonna be full to bursting at this rate."

"That's why we have to get on before the last stragglers do. If there are any seats left at this rate, we'll need them." She whacked Prius's shin with her cane. "Stay upright, you lump."
