 CHAPTER SEVEN 

UNTITLED

Ermot D'Asuila shoved his way through the crowd of his fellow captives.

He remembered the way those 2-Ds, James and Natasha, had taken Marrell. Why? After abducting so many adolescents and imprisoning them within Bunker 10, why would Marrell simply be brought somewhere else?

"Marrell Tanaquas," Ermot remembered saying to Natasha. "Daughter of Jurnel Tanaquas, deceased, and unknown mother. Ofiotia, Kanderr resident, of Civilian Block D, Identification Number 468186971252, registered anomaly with a particular passion for the ancient Greek civilization."

That had to have been it. They took Marrell because she was one of the anomalies. That means they must have had some ulterior motives for capturing them in the first place... To find the anomalies, perhaps?

"Everyone," Ermot called. "Exit the bounds of emotional response." The other Ofiotian captives immediately calmed down from their frenzy. "Is anyone here an anomaly?"

One boy raised his hand. "My name is Filan Briciera. Son of Shanmer Briciera and Konol Briciera, formerly Konol Dienjeloh. Ofiotia, Kanderr resident, of Civilian Block S, Identification Number 72168643489, registered anomaly with fondness for inake afterlife beliefs."
