All was silent in the gondola save for the sound of the air supply pumps. Then the automated female voice blared into the enclosed space. "Security level three in block<span style="font-style: italic">two</span>." Someone swore at the back as the noise had surely left his ear ringing. "Guards are to use force whenever necessary. Terminate those who resist with extreme prejudice. The gondola landing has been secured, losing the landing will result in Block Termination, as briefed, there will be no evacuation for survivors." The gondola halted its descent, the sounds of plugs being pulled and the sound of water being siphoned from the passageway before them.<br/><br/>The pneumatics hissed and white vapor poured from the vents and the first batch of reinforcements charged through.<br/><br/>******<br/><br/>"Level three security. Guards may and will enforce order where there is resistance. Prisoners are to return to their cells and await further instructions. It is advised that you do not steal prison property as it is punishable by death." Yanagi pushed away from the collapsed table and left the canteen. He wiped his mouth, wiping the traces of his last meal onto the back of his hand.<br/><br/>Compliance is a must here. He was sure this had rallied those who were unhappy, but in the end, the guards always won. He went ahead and caught sight of the girl who has started this. He made his way ahead unflinchingly and tapped her on the shoulder. Before he could even see her reacting, he lashed out with his arm, aiming for her facial features. Why, you ask? Well, the guards would definitely be able to identify her features if this never happened. You could say it was an act of mercy on his part. Pure, rational thinking, cutting off social compulsions and all others, this was the best way to avert a severe punishment. Cut the limb to save to soul.
