Civil war.
The CVP vehicle was rushing along the bottom layer, according to the driver, who also wore a gasmask that was much more human than the military, that the CVP is fending off the northeast of the city. The northeast section of the city was the prison, where most of the CVP was stationed at the time of the crackdown, they had heard of a marshals doings and how the board was hiding the upcoming invasion from the prime minister. They let the prisoners flood through the city and now half the planet was a war zone. The military had cut off all communications outside of the planet. It was going to be a long night.
Isan and the citizen had fallen asleep under a police blanket intended for medical uses. The marshal was sitting in the drivers cabin. He looked out the window into the nothingness of the fog. There were distant weapon shots all around. "We will reach the wall in 15 minutes." said the CVP officer who was driving. Suddenly a red vertical plane came crashing out of the sky skidding across a railing for a second then crashing right in front of the CVP vehicle. Isan and the citizen didn't wake up as they were exhausted. The driver stopped the car and ordered his gunners to get out and check for survivors. Red vertical planes were used as a mail service for letters that were to important to be streamed over a computer network, they were piloted by a different type of marshal. The two gunners and the marshal hopped out of the police vehicle and walked toward the wreckage. A CVP gunner kicked the back door open and saw a unconscious delivery marshal lying under the control panel. The gunner dragged the marshal back to the CVP car while the other gunner found an odd letter written in the combine native language. The officer and the marshal walked back to the car and put the letter on the dash board. They continued to drive until they reached the large wall separating the now war torn city from the rest of the planet. The driver typed something in his key pad and a blue portal opened on the huge featureless wall. The sun was just rising. The vehicle sped through the portal and ended up on the other side. The blue fog replaced by empty desert. A blue beam shot from the bottom of the vehicle onto the cracked ground, it then shot in a straight line thousands of miles ahead and suddenly the vehicle was an a beach with a dock and a few CVP officers standing next to a watercraft. Isan and the citizen were now awake. "The planets magnetic field is close to nil on the ocean, we have to take a boat. The marshal, Isan and the citizen got out of the car. The marshal being sure to take the note that the delivery marshal had with him, his friend had studied the combine language and would be able to read it. The CVP officers who had driven them there turned and shot back to the capital city to get the delivery marshal medical attention. The three got on the watercraft and sat down, the craft looked almost like a vertical plane except its cabin replaced by a deck. The craft started up and sped off in the direction of the south pole.
It was high noon by now and Isan was busy thinking. In his thoughts he had realized that he had never asked the citizen her name. "Hey" said Isan gaining the attention of the marshal and the citizen, Isan was in between them. "We never really introduced ourselves have we." The marshal knew both their names from the government issued files. "Iris meet Isan, Isan meet Iris" the marshal introduced them to each other himself trying to leave his name out. "And your name, marshal?" They both said. "Fine, I am Lver"(Pronounced Levier) said the marshal, hesitantly. "What type of name is that?" asked Iris. "A visonies name, I come from another nation." replied the marshal. "So what is your job?" Asked Isan. "Do I really have to tell you? I already broke a law by giving you my name." said the marshal. "We are already fugitives. Might as well commit as much felonies as possible." said Iris. "Fine, but don't stare at me in shock when I tell you" Said the marshal. "We are trying to find out why you humans have such a close autonomy, lately we have been studying human emotion. More specifically socio-emotional bonding" "And that is?" asked Isan. "We are trying to get you to fall in love, idiot." snapped the marshal. A shocked expression overtaking Isan and Iris's faces. "wait, you are not human?" Isan asked, trying to change the subject.
"We evolved from plants, you evolved from apes" replied the marshal. "How about we have something to eat." said Iris. The marshal telling them that they are entrusting their lives with plants did not help any better. The marshal threw them both a bottle of water, which they both had to share as supplies were low, and two metal cases. It was going to be a long ride.
