Dan sat alone in the dark, the light from his computer screen the only light remaining in the deserted building, he stared at the now empty bottle of whisky that he'd stolen earlier from Ed's private stash, then again at the blank screen in front of him.

His mind was consumed with hatred, for Jeremy and Choy, Layth and Hobson, at the Elite and mostly at himself for believing in the cause. Believing they could change society, make a better, less corrupt world than before.

The drink had done nothing to dim the pain, the anger and the desire to exact revenge that was threatening to overwhelm him.

Slowly, drunkenly he began to sort through the footage he had selected to accompany tomorrows broadcast or rather today's as it was already 3am he noticed as he glanced at the tiny digital clock in the bottom left-hand corner of his screen.

The first shot was of the Elites logo and the campus itself lit up against the backdrop of a particularly pretty sunset, Slowly the colours changed from blue to purple, to pink and orange before finally stopping as it turned blood red. The next images were individual headshots of Layth, Hobson, Jeremy and Choy that had been taken when they had first come to the Elite, they were dirty, bedraggled and thin, not unlike the Islanders themselves.

These were followed by the still that Dan had caught and saved of the girl outside the club just before the attack.

The next images captured the terror in her eyes, the lust in Choy's, the uncontrolled rage and desire in Jeremy's and the confusion, fear and disbelief in both Hobson and Layth's.

Then there were some shots of the girl laying bruised and broken, looking pale and fragile surrounded by monitors in the stark, harsh and slightly unearthly whiteness of her hospital room.

Finally were the shots of the guards lined up outside the main gates all dressed alike in their long black uniform coats, each of them brandishing a baseball bat, tense as they awaited the return of the perpetrators after their long, damp, freezingly cold walk back from the town following their brutal attack.

The broadcast finished off with four shots of each of them alone in their small bare, dark cells, shortly after their capture, still covered in her blood, and dirty and wet, lastly, underneath each picture was a list of their crimes.

Plasma screens illuminate at several locations on the Islands. The broadcast commences…

WITH POWER COMES CHAOS, THE POTENTIAL FOR CONTROL AND ABUSE.

Today four members of the Elite committed a terrible crime against an innocent girl who lies unconscious in our infirmary teetering between life and death.

WITH POWER COMES RESPONSIBILITY.

Those involved will be made to pay for their actions, assault, gang rape and potentially murder.

We make no excuses for them and can only apologise for their actions.

THEIR PUNISHMENT?

YOU DECIDE…

A public trial will be held at the Campus today at 4pm, footage of the attack will be shown followed by a public vote.

End of broadcast.
