Prologue
The spiritless buzz of working ventilation shafts dominated the almost silent chamber, much like that of a hissing snake waiting patiently for prey. The walls painted a stainless shade of white harmonised with the outfits of the chambers speechless occupants. Stoic they stood; arms unflinching; and in their fists, identical knives shone, reflecting the images of solemnity of each other's faces on their lustrous blade surfaces.
A man with rectangular framed glasses entered the overhanging glass room. All heads rose. It was about to begin.
"Numbers 10384 through 10414, please step onto the test ring," he said, voice rough from electronic distortion. Thirty white-clad children obeyed, stepping onto the elevated center stage. Mechanically, they formed a circle along the stage's circumference, taking care to stop an equal distance from their neighbours. An umbrella of a cage was lowered upon them, releasing subtle hints of static from its charged iron bars. It was a device to ensure no one got in, or out.
Several more figures in white coats entered the glass deck, shaking hands and exchanging words inaudible to those below. In a merry mood, they took their seats. The bespectacled white-coat asked for the permission of who appeared to be a director and he responded, nodding his pudgy head in approval. "Please begin the experiment."
A coarse rendition of Mozart's 40th Symphony played over the archaic sound system present in the chamber, mocking the screams of agony echoing dissonantly into the cacophony below. Blood spurted about like water from a thumb-blocked hose as the less physically gifted jumped onto those of larger size, ruthlessly stabbing and tearing at limbs. Necks were slit; arms bitten into; fingers and toes severed – it was a like gratuitous orgy of violence and death, but for them, a battle for their lives. Above, their handsomely dressed audience continued to spectate the marvel that was a pervasion of human rights. They did not care. Moreover, they cheered in ecstasy, unable to contain their lust for 'entertainment'.
Such was a normal day in the Earth Alliance's Lodonia Laboratory – home to the 'Extended' organic weapons programme.
