The Enclosure

Chapter XVIII

Olive looked at Ethan, he wore a nicely put suit with a button on his jacket, he looked up to the head commander, his face expressionless. He was finally earning his place, something she'd never think to see, he sat next to her arms sat carefully in his lap. It was the monthly meeting, eighteen months before the scientists ball. The biggest ball in Enclosure history, Doctors and other scientists came from across the globe to present a new invention to help heal the air. Olive never got invited but for the first time Ethan had been. Although it was nearly a year and a half away the Enclosure always had to have the higher status. Especially Colestone, ever since he joined the higher stats and won his first award he promised never to lose his position. He hadn't, yet.

He sat so high on his throne on the stage, Callagei speaking as normal and Dr. O'Brien sitting by his old companion. How she envied their power, getting to be the one in control and making the job. She remembered when she was little walking through the Enclosure seeing all those innocent people getting pumped with large amounts of chemicals. Watching as a girl sat in a chair screaming as her body transformed into a monster. But she was always ushered onward by Dr. Bergandail, everytime was she hidden from the torture. The scariest incident was when she saw Colestone crying with blood on his hands running into Bergandail's office, she was only ten, Ethan didn't even work there. He screamed, he couldn't control what he had done and clearly it was a mistake. But she saw him later with a child on a bed, with the same medicine he had shown, knife in hand as she bellowed.

Colestone was a stone cold killer, it was in his name. Olive witnessed everything he had done, watching as Bergandail tried to be his support system, only to watch as Colestone supported the assasination of Mr. Hyde. That's when Bergandail lost his support for Colestone, but he still came running back, untill Dr. O'Brien arrived, the crown jewel of the Enclosure, the only one with a sense of sympathy. Even then he was still apart of the cult, there he sat next to Colestone. Not even moving a finger, he just sat there happily.

"Olive?" She perked up to the sound of Ethan, she looked to him and smiled.

"Sorry just thinking."

"Of?"

The two were quickly interupted by Callagei who brought Colestone to the main podium, the dark dinger watched the crowd ever so slightly. His forest green eyes glancing back and forth untill it met the back of the auditorium.

"Fellow scientists of the Enclosure, as we all know the Scientists ball is approaching in eighteen short months, with this I hope all of your discoveries are coming along nicely." Ethan watched his father, he didn't know what to expect, if it was going to be good or bad, he just watched like the ever present eye that was the Enclosure.

"With this me and Dr. O'Brien are excited to announce a first glance into our new project presented at the worlds fair next month. It's taken us many months and multiple hard working days some with no sleep. But I'm now happily here to announce the Terrace code!" The board behind him shinned a bright green liquid, it was most notably a medicine made by Dr. Jekyll way back when, when he was testing seperate identities.

"No,"

"The new medicine has the ability to control anyone who takes it, much like the F.I.R.E code it has the ability to take over the host and separate its mentality. Making them almost computer like under our hands, I believe it will have the ability to control our current stand point on wanted Ravengers most notably our most wanted case Devin Smith and the so called Cove Jones who have been reeking havoc in the sectors for two weeks now. This will be able to control there ever spect of life, they will no longer be able to do what their doing and will be turned into our offices as soon as possible for testing."

"No!"

Olive looked over to Ethan who had already stood up, his gloves were ripped and she didn't understand why, but she was scared. Ethan was looked at from all points of the room including the one up front, a Doctor next to them tried to help him down but he yelled. The silence that followed was unbearable, it filled the room and cast onto Ethan as if trying to stop him from what he was going to do. He didn't know what he was going to do, who he was standing up against all he knew was that he was going to make a terrible mistake.
