Dystopian radio show

Rise of the Revolt

News broadcast: Day 1 of the cy-bot revolt. Minimal damage caused. Civilians in panic. Not much more to relay. Maximum of 3 injuries reported.

*Static noise*

Elijah: Lila? Lila come out now they’re gone. We don’t have long.

Lila: *shuffling* I don’t know if I can do this Elijah. We’re in a Stage 3 camp which means one more warning and we even think of escaping, well, that’ll be the last thought on our mind. I’m not ready to die yet-not yet.

Elijah: Lil please, you’re overreacting slightly. They won’t suspect us- too many people are trying to escape. I promise. Just one trip, we need supplies don’t we? They can’t monitor our thoughts, I snuck in temporary blockers. All we have to do is-

Lil:-Elijah I physically can’t. I..I was injured. Not too bad! Don’t freak out. I just didn’t want to worry you. It’s just a small gunshot but I think I managed to stitch it up pretty well.

Elijah: Wait, wait, hold on. By yourself?! God Lila you know what they’ll do if they realise your skin’s been opened. You’ll be tortured in that horrible, horrible roo- I can’t even say it. Just.. just stay here I’ll be back soon. Be safe.

News Broadcast: Day 2 of cy-bot revolt. No signs of extreme violence but strange sounds have been coming from chambers underground. Injury count up to 15 as a result of rebelling. More 
updates posted soon.

Lila: *shuffling and heavy footsteps* Elijah? You back?

Guard: Back? Where is it he’s supposedly gone?

Lila: Oh! I- I saw him go to the toilet so I was just wondering if he was back. No problem here sir.

Guard: Right. Very well. Lights out in 5 minutes. No talking, no thinking, actually no noise at all.
*clanging noise nearby*

Lila: *whispering voice* Elijah? Crap, hurry up! Count’s in 5 and we need to make this room look like it’s not been a set up for an escape plan if you don’t mind.

Elijah: Huh? Right ok. Anyway I grabbed everything we need. God it’s terrible out there Lila. I can hear them talking about using the children as soldiers. Soldiers Lila!

Lila: I know Elijah..just stay calm. For me. Please. Someone has to stay sane in this hell hole.

News broadcast: Still day 2 of the cy-bot revolt but something grave has appeared. Something we cannot even begin to fathom and surely not speak about. However all we can say is, be prepared.


*Broadcast cuts out*
