Lydecker Plural
Part Four
(2010)
Lydecker hadn't been sleeping well for the past year now, if he attempted to he would wake up in cold sweat from a dream that the thirteen X5 escapees had killed him like that prisoner he had them kill around two years before the escape.
Lydecker and all his people were trying to brainwash everyone into thinking that the escapees were nomiles and were traitors, but I knew perfectly well that they hated it here as much as I do. He couldn't even find a trace of one of them from a magnetic pulse set off by terrorists.
(2011)
Security was still strict as ever. Lydecker had fallen into despair and started to become an alcoholic. As for me, I knew that I wasn't that far behind Lydecker from falling into depression.
But I was still staying strong and reminded myself that I was here to be a soldier nothing else. Lydecker had handed command over to a close friend of his that lived at the compound with him. That was only temporary until he could finish something called 'rehab'.
(2012)
My anger and depression had finally caught up with me. One day I had kicked an OIC in the stomach for ordering me to watch him show me a new attack. I would not talk to anyone, not even my drunken father, I would just stare blankly at him or her until they beat it out of me.
I had finally decided to shave my hair to match the standard G.I haircut. Lydecker was still not paying attention to me even though I now receive injections to control something called 'heat'. Perhaps they noticed I was getting to warm or some equivalent.

I've been getting sudden out bursts of anger often, but when I'm not angry I fell as though I want to leave Manticore.
I woke up one night very suddenly. I had just had a dream that Eva was telling me to leave, she showed me weird complexes were normal people lived. There were no guards, guns, or any training facility what so ever. I desperately wanted to go there and be free from the military.
'I am going to leave this prison behind me' I thought firmly. I crept outside to survey the 'terrain' and slowly but steadily a plan began to form.
(The next morning)
I woke up at 0:430 to get ready for first call. I was standing at attention by my barrack.
"Good soldier." He said,
I started to pretend to seize. I dropped to the ground, immediately the man who was inspecting my quarters went to his radio,
"Sir, X5-792 is seizing. Request medical assistance."
"Request granted, they're on the way."
A minute later they had me lying on a bed on wheels and were taking me to the medical uses facility. Once we were out of camera range I kicked one of the doctors in the face, and then I easily took the others down. I scanned the area; we were on the first floor. I looked up at the clock.
BOOM!
I had made a small bomb in my room to have people running around. The bomb had exploded right on time. People were coming out of the rooms to see what happened, I myself was running toward the exit. Perfect, no security guards, they were all going to the seen of the crime.
Now all I had to do was jump the fence and I was on my way, but this was the time Lydecker had to ruin my plans. He was unarmed with the radio and armory.
"Good-bye father." I said to him, jumped over his head and jumped the fence in two bounds.
I kept running non-stop until I had to stop and get some water, from a stream. I started to fun west after my small break. Around twelve hundred hours I saw a strange complex. It was like the one Eva "showed" me. When I looked behind that one I saw many, many, more just like it.
There were little children out in front of one special shelter that had a brightly colored obstacle course that should be easy for anyone to complete. Some of the small children were playing with a orange spherical object that pounced when they threw it to the ground. Some of the children were my age; one of them accidentally lost control of it and it bounced over towards me.
"Hey girl," he shouted, "will ya throw the ball over here?" I looked at the orange, round object in my hands. Could this thing be called a 'ball'?
"Yeah, that's it that orange thing in your hands, what are you doing out there any way aren't you supposed to be in school?" he called over. I threw it over there. I began to run away as fast as I could. Everyone was the enemy!
A transport stopped by me. I stopped as well. A man with a big stomach dressed like a Security officer stepped out,
"Why aren't you in school young lady?"
I kept quiet, never release any information to the enemy.
"Common, girl." He grabbed my wrist.
Big mistake. I flipped him over my shoulder with one movement and started to run.
I continued to run west.

My hair had grown out to my shoulders-mid-back section. I had grown up a lot since I had escaped Manticore, I changed my Identification to Geneva Monson, and it tuned out that everyone wasn't the enemy.only Manticore and the postage service.
I now live in Mount Vernon, Washington I own my own ride I got at a dealership in a town called Kent. It's a Kawasaki ZX-6, bright red, as bright as a stop sign.
I live alone in a small one room, one kitchen/dinning, one bath, and a garaged, house. I got this money by busting into small shops and whatever catches my attention. I have a good job; I'm a mechanic.
Work had just ended and it was Friday so no work for two days. I turned on the radio to and oldies station, right now there was a song on called 'let me blow your mind' by Eve.
I started to punch at my punching bag. All of this was routine, and then after the song got over I would go and put dinner in the oven. Then as planned the song ended and I put dinner in the oven. Today was roasted chicken. I put the glaze on and my favorite seasons (Love the Johnny's) I went over to the couch and sat down eating a post-pulse power bar.
I sat there wondering what the other X5s were doing and how their lives were going. Even if I might never find out I hoped they were living a full life. I ate dinner and went to bed, even though I hated to because it always brought memories of Lydecker and nomiles and that horrifying red laser.
