Chapter 24 - Globalisation

We do not know who, but someone told us some key information, leave the building discreetly. So that is what we did, small group's of people left at a time. Some of them in car's or truck's and the other's by foot. I was in the last group, the leader's left last. I'm not sure why i was in the group it must just be because i made the banner, and that is apparently a massive inspiration to get people to join our cause. Our small group left in a car with one of the leader's driving, taking a right turn into a street an ear splitting bang echoes throughout the city as a flash of light reflect's of the building's blinding all. The car come's to a sudden stop as we all look around, not even a few second's pass before a massive ash cloud appear's, the source was right, we would of all been dead. "We need to hurry, get to the new meeting point" Mr Collin's demand's as we drive off once again our breath's halted. 

Around half an hour later everyone is here, looking around everyone seem's tense, worrying if these moment's will be there last. It isn't long before a meeting with the leader's, but before then i have been instructed to create another piece of art. Setting up my art station i begin, the stroke's off my brush carry different emotion's, not just mine though, everyone's. I decided to make this painting monochromatic black to represent the recent catastrophe, however in the middle my brush create's a dash of colour to represent us, the rebellion. It isn't long before i finish, just before the meeting. On the bottom corner i sign it with the date but no name as i leave it there for all to see whilst i head to the meeting. Weaving throughout the crowd's of people reach the room, pushing the door's open i head toward's my seat keeping my head down. "Now that we are all here we can begin, obviously we have had two recent catastrophe's, they cannot happen again, the source that told us about the second has given us some information, a way to destroy the satellite system. And that is what we will plan." Murmur's erupt around the room as the tone is in agreement. A shuffle come's from across the table as one of the leader's stand up and begin's speaking "This is all good y'know, but what if the source is wrong, we will be left out in the open" A good point, a very good point, there is still not sufficient proof for this source to be fully reliable. They could just be luring us in. "Even if they aren't fully reliable, we still cannot ignore this satellite, if it stay's up, we will have to stay on the move till we win" Mr Collin's replies as the leader nod's sitting back down. Feeling some confidence within myself i stand announcing to the room "Why not use the satellite system for ourself, we know where the government building's are, i know it is a horrible thought. But when it come's down to it, they can just make another, and as seen, it would kill everything. All we need to do is confirm that everyone in high power is in the government building at the same time." Sitting back down sighing i lean back listening as the room erupt's, some agreeing, some saying no. "Let's put it to the vote then, right now, right here, raise your hand if you want to destroy the satellite system" Mr Collin's barks out. Scanning the room hand's begin to raise, sighing in annoyance i look back down to the table, seemingly in shame. Then i hear more shuffling. "Well that is it then, we will use the satellite system for ourself." How, everyone had their hand up, looking around, it seem's most put it back down. Smiling in somewhat contempt i feel dread rise from my gut. What have i just done, even though they are terrible people, it doesn't seem right. I feel like i have signed their death warrant. "Let us resume the meeting"

Hour's pass until the meeting is finally finished, Rose walk's out the room exhausted, everything has been planned out to the best of their ability and knowledge, it should work, hopefully. Strolling through the building past the people sleeping on the floor she head's to the floor to try find a window. She feel's trapped, no one can leave the building as due to the satellite system. Stopping in her track's, she sprint's back to the meeting room waking people up as she barge's by, banging the door open shouting. "We need to leave, they will have tracked us using the satellite system" Furiously looking around the room everyone abruptly stand's. Immediately jumping to action Mr Collin's shout's "Evacuate everyone, we start the plan now, everyone take their designated group as discussed" An alarm sound's throughout the building as the people begin to move. 

Everything has seemed to slow down again, the plan has started, there's too many group's to hit at once, we should all be safe. I have a very small group with just 5 other's. We have one sole job for now, showcase my art to the world, driving around we place copies everywhere within the city, posting it online, everywhere possible, everyone will see it. Phase one complete, globalise the rebellion.
