Act I - Beginnings
I am on a train heading towards the city. There is 3 others on the train with us. One is talking to the other in an American accent from the old world. I remember from before the war I was from Canandaigua New York. I looked out the window of the train to see lights from the city. We were close now. I stood up as we entered the station. The train screeched as it came to a halt. The door opened and we all walked out, the station was empty but the sound of voices was heard from everywhere. I took my baggage and opened the suitcase. The only things inside was 100 credits and a Breen water. I walked down the long hallway to a flight of stairs. As I walked down I saw posters upon posters of combine propaganda. I looked at the slip of paper I was issued when I was relocated. It said "District 2 Apartment of choice". Probably the only good thing the universal Union has ever done for me besides giving me rations. I walked to the left of the street and came to a huge plaza. The tall building that was seen from the train station was at the end of the plaza. As I walked over to the stairs to the left of the building, I saw some citizen running from a CP. He was dressed in a brown wool coat and jeans with a beanie on. Suddenly the CP stopped and pulled out a pistol. He shot the man in the leg, he fell over and yelled in pain. The CP ran up to him and pulled out a stun baton. He hit it over the mans head three times, and the mans yelling ceased... The CP picked up the mans body and dragged him over to a mechanical door and went inside. Everyone was silent the whole time. I stood still for a second... Then came to my senses. I kept walking. As I got up the stairs I saw three shops. One was named "Boris's clothing" and another "Baltic Cafè". The other one was neither named nor manned. I kept walking. I saw a sign that labeled the area ahead of it District 2. I finally made it. I headed to the nearest apartment building and went inside. I dropped all my stuff and went to the bed. It was late. I laid down and closed my eyes...
