00:00The news broke within days.
00:02Holographic headlines blared across Arcadia.
00:05DR. Ilara Miles wanted for treason.
00:08Global Science Council claims bioweapon T-H-E-F-T.
00:12Reward 10 million credits.
00:15Ilara watched the broadcasts from the rebels' control room.
00:19Bioweapon theft?
00:20She spat.
00:22They're spinning lies.
00:23Aya put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
00:26That's how they work.
00:28Discredit the truth.
00:29Silence dissent.
00:31Moments later, a rebel burst into the room.
00:34Council drones are sweeping the tunnels.
00:37Aya grabbed her rifle.
00:39Get Ilara out of here.
00:41No, Ilara said.
00:42I'm not running again.
00:44Dr. Miles.
00:46I have an idea.
00:48She pulled up a schematic of the city's water treatment plant.
00:51If I introduce the algae into Arcadia's water supply, it'll replicate and spread.
00:57Everyone will have access.
00:59Marcus frowned.
01:01You'd contaminate the city's entire system.
01:03With food, she shot back.
01:06A self-sustaining nutrient source?
01:08Once it's in the ecosystem, the Council can't stop it.
01:12Aya hesitated.
01:13It's a bold move.
01:15It's the only move, Ilara said.
01:18I won't let the Council starve people for profit.
01:20I won't let the Council starve people for profit.
