[The voices suddenly stop, just alerted to your presence. Muttering begins again, and you hear the woman's muffled sobs begin. Another voice-- a younger male-- begins to yell in protest. 'Stop. No, don't.'
Above you, scraping sounds are heard, and the voices grow nearer. They're right above you. A creaking sound begins, and suddenly you're blinded by bright light. Your vision clears. You get a look at your surroundings.
All of the men, save the younger one, are wearing a black uniform. One of them, face indistinguishable from the others, hauls you out of your hiding place. He's gripping you tightly by the shoulder. It hurts, his fingers pressing into your muscles, almost like claws.
The woman's crying now, appearing terrified, despite the defiant look on her face. The other male-- Bellamy, you realize-- is being restrained by two of the uniform clad men. He's yelling louder, fighting to get to you or the woman...
Your mother. Your veins suddenly turn to ice. What have you done? She'll be floated, released from the Ark's airlock, into space. Execution. All for what? Having a second child?
All of this hits you at once. A scream erupts from you, silent until now. There are no words, just fear in the form of a throat burning scream.
The man drags you away, claws tearing into your flesh, your protests brushed aside like a light breeze. You mean nothing. You can do nothing. Everyone you love will die, and it's all your fault. He drags you to the doorway, and as you go through, you black out.

Darkness. Silence. Fear.
Then voices. Again. What do you do?]
