[Filtered to all inmates]

Brothers, Sisters, the time is now. We make our stand and take this place, or we die trying. We have numbers, we have supplies, and we have weapons. Anyone who's interested in making a stand, get to the dining room. First we fortify, then we fight.



[Posted about half an hour later, public.]


Attention all wardens:

This is a declaration of war.

The recent inter-dimentional rift you have been so desperately claiming isn't a flood has given us enough allies to stand a chance against you. More importantly, it has given us not just the dream, but the certainty that a better world is still out there somewhere! And with the knowledge that such a world is possible, there comes not just the drive, not just the call, but the duty as breathing inhabitants of this imperfect universe, not to try and reach that distant better world, but to create one of our own.

We will fight for it, and we will die for it, but this time none of us will die alone! And when you cut one man down then pray that this world is not changed enough already for him to rise up again in a hail of bullets!

We have taken the dining room. All food and medical supplies are under our control.

Come, surrender your weapons and items and you will be treated fairly. Everyone who stands against us will be killed without mercy or hesitation.



[ooc: Riot was moved to the dining room when it was pointed out to prefect that the medical supplies had already been ransacked! Feel free to respond and reply here, but I'm putting up a log for the actual riot now, so no spamming!]

When pain, torture, and death are day to day occurrences, I think you'll find that the potential for "worse" gets smaller and smaller.

We've written, we've complained, we've talked, and you brought your boot down on us harder for every word. This is not a negotiation anymore. If you want to change, then change, if you want to listen, then listen, but this fight will happen, because violence is the only leverage you have left us with.

Violence... fine. But indiscriminate killing? That's not leverage.

He WANTS to kill indiscriminately.

It's not indiscriminate you imbecile!

All you have to do is stay in your room, or throw down your gun, and we won't touch you! We'll discriminate between you, and the people who are fighting us. You understand what that word means?

What? Throw down my gun and watch you kill them? Watch them kill you?

How is that any better than what was done before? I won't encourage or tolerate killing, one way or another. For fuck's sake.

You've been watching them kill us for as long as you've been here! Deny it all you like, but the truth is, you only give a damn because it's only our blood that's been spilled in the past! And if you're so willfully ignorant that you won't see that one fight for freedom is different to institutionalized killing and torture then-- then--

...This is pointless. I've explained both of these points before and all you do is make random, self righteous claims about your moral standards, but none of your actions have ever backed them up!

If you come to this fight, then you fight for the system you have supported without question in your time here. You fight for the murders you have encouraged and tolerated, and you fight to the death. None of your lies can change that.

If you've got no room for the grey inbetween, then you're as bad as the people you're trying to bring down.

The grey inbetween was the pamphlets. It was the posts asking for change! It was the conversations arguing for reason, and it was ignored or punished.

The grey inbetween would have been you actually preventing our wardens from killing us instead of just claiming you did in retrospect.

We tried for a middle ground, and you killed it. This war will be fought over it's body.

I... never claimed I prevented anything. I never claimed I could.

We're not all torturers and murderers. That's all I'm trying to say.

The grey inbetween might have been you trying.

You looked the other way then. So why don't you just do what you're good at and look the other way now, you coward.

I don't... I can't...

Not that fucking simple.

Like I thought. When we're bleeding and dying you couldn't care less, but when the wardens are given a choice to either surrender, and change things, or the knowledge that we'll fight back, then you're suddenly up in arms.

Fine. I just want you to know in advance, when you see me with Sams gun in my hand. I don't have it because I killed him. One of your lot took care of that. I have it because when he realised what he'd become he gave it to me, so that I'd be able to do this.

Sam...

You.

They...

Fucking hell.

Look. I'm not getting fucking killed too. What's the point in that? But I won't kill any of you if you don't kill me. I still can't let a riot/revolution/whatever go ahead, it's... there ought to be some fucking order. All I can do is give you my word I'll try and stop as much unecessary killing as I can, but... don't you say, you have to do the same.

Let me make this plain. We want change. We have tried other ways, and they have failed, so now we are trying this. We are all prepared to die for this. If you aren't? Then do yourself a favor and don't come.

You've had plenty of chances to listen to us, I am done talking.

If I see you, I will try to kill you.

This is your last warning.
