"Are any of them injured?" Katniss asked. The explosion had come as a surprise to them in the control room.
"Just a few scraps for the most part. I think that Jasper dislocated his shoulder, but Pearl has already tried to reset it. Hopefully her working with Cecilia in training will help her" Lyme said from her computer station.
"I see that the acid rain that the Game Makers used last night beat up the other tributes pretty well." Finnick said as he checked in on the remaining tributes.
"There will be a major s battle tonight. The game maker is trapping the remaining small groups between District 12 and the careers."
"So you think that for the feast tomorrow there will only be three groups? Katniss asked.
"We are at the week mark of the games. This is the time that the Game makers try to do as much as possible to make sure that there is a fast end to the games. The Capital citizens have a very short attention span. If the games go on to long they lose interest. And this is a show for them. This is their biggest sporting event. The more entertaining they see it, the more they like it."
"Guess they do not like mine then, spending all of my time hidden in a cave coaxing Peeta back to life."
"Quite the opposite rather," Lyme said. "You actually won them over. They were memorized with the girl on fire, and then you showed them your fiery spirit. They loved the romance. Problem is that the ones in charge did not like it, since rebellion hit soon after."
"So is there still rebellion?"
"No," Effie said with a grim look. "They have destroyed the rebellions. In many of the districts all of the areas of production have been destroyed. The citizens are starving, mass executions. Snow is expected to announce that there is going to be a mass movement of people. I hear that they will use a lottery to repopulate areas where the death toll was highest, so that production can begin again."
"So people from District 1 could be sent to District 11 to work in the orchids?"
"Or to the mines of twelve?" Katniss added.
"It is all possible. Snow is planning on announcing it after the games. He is also said to be thinking of relocating all the victors to the Capital to keep them from increasing future rebellions."
"That would strip most of us from our families," Lyme said.
"I think that is the plan! He blames me for starting the rebellion."
"But the rebellion was growing before you came forward."
"But I lit the fire!"
