Three Dead, One Presumed Missing
in Botched Escape Attempt
The drastic changes to our world have had drastic
effects on various movements and sectors, but
probably none so much as the environmental
movement. Greenpeace was one of the few groups who
completely opposed the great retreat, and, while they
have become less radical, other nature groups have
taken up their mantle. Their main argument has to do
with the thriving world outside our cities and farms. To
quote one member of Verdant Force (a semi-legal
organization whose stated mission of “breaking out, no
matter the cost” has drawn suspicion to their suspected
ties to organized crime) “The food chain has stabilized,
the organisms look healthy, and I bet that if we left this
claustrophobic environment, our species would
survive.” Obviously, most people have been loath to
test this.
However, one group has taken that risk. There are
still internal investigations, however, the defense
company contracted to protect the Belgium edges of
the French dome agreed to provide a spokesman to
relate what seems to have happened. “We know that
they applied for a regular nature tour, because we have
their signature and payment on record—I'm not allowed
to give out those names yet”, said one Evette Mongarde.
“We also know that they knocked out their tour guide at
one point—and that’s when they most likely discarded
their hazard suits and oxygen tanks—because we found
the suits and tanks and the tour guide in a closet nearby.
What happened then is rather unclear. It was an
uncloudy day, so it wasn’t too difficult to track them
down. They went about forty feet southeast, probably
trying to avoid bumping up into the German dome.
Their pace looked unhurried, as if they were unaware of
any problems. And then…we just found three
bodies—not me personally, but I was told the story in
very stark details—within about ten feet of each other”.
Our spokesmen confirmed that four people left, and that
one is unaccounted for. “We are unable to divulge any
theories we have on what happened to the fourth due to
security reasons”, stated Ms. Mongarde. Though the
blogosphere has been alight with speculation, no
consensus has been reached yet.
