Liaville, Aeluria
Sebastian looked around worryingly as he stood guard at the distribution centre, often called "The Vault" by citizens of the Island. The air on the scene was uneasy with the disturbance just a few days before. The soldier that fired had been reprimanded and sent to two weeks trench duty whilst the apprehended disruptors were set offshore to isolate them from drumming up trouble and anti-Kivasekian sentiment. Standing nearest to the soldier handing out the rations, Sebastian eyed the people with intense focus, making sure nothing would slip though the cracks of safety measures. A younger soldier, Henrik, stood on the other side of the line, giving a larger cone of vision to the Vault's personnel. Whilst chewing on a piece of wax gum (chicle gum had run out a day ago), Sebastian could hear people from the line speak English words, some of which he picked up from living on the island; "Kivasekians", "bastards", "rations", and "children".
A woman at the front of the line began yelling in confused rage as she was handed her rations. Although unable to fully understand her, Sebastian could see she was upset with the small amount of sugar allotted to each person. From what he gathered from her ramblings and the tears on her face, she was with a family of her parents, her husband, her kids, and her husband's parents. The distributor, visibly torn by the story and the woman's reaction, cursed under his breath and gave her an extra portion, hoping to help out more.
Upon leaving the line, Sebastian saw her move towards a circle of men and give the extra portion of rations to them in exchange for money, prompting him to go over and grab her by the arm, "What you doing?! Selling family food for monies?"
"Let go asshole!" The woman was scared by the much taller, although lanky, man grabbing her, prompting her to shout for help to the crowd.
The line, turning to the scene, started moving to Sebastian and pushing him off of her and taking her behind them whilst he tried to reason, "No, she criminal! Give food for monies!" Unfortunately, she was too far gone and Sebastian was now being pushed back and surrounded by angry, nicotine-deprived civilians yelling in a language he did not understand.
Henrik, seeing the situation turn, rushed over to the encirclement and tried to break the circle to rescue Sebastian, "Move! Step far from him!"
However, the circle had grown large, and Sebastian, leaving his rifle inside the Vault, was left unarmed, "Please, move to line!"
An older bald man pushed Sebastian to the ground, much to the cheering of the crowd before they started to hit him, getting their frustration out.
Henrik reacted erratically to Sebastian being swallowed by the crowd and shouted in Kivasyan to disperse the mob as Sebastian "had potentially become a casualty".
Two other armed Kivasekians, also witnessing the assault of Sebastian, rushed over and, with much hesitation and on verbal warning, aimed their guns at the crowd.
With no response and no sign of retreat from the people, Henrik shouted, "Fire!", prompting the air to break with the sound of gunfire from the soldier's weapons; one submachine gun and two battle rifles.
People screamed as they were hit with the rounds, deafened by the supersonic bangs, or witnessed those hit by the bullets, "Murderers! Run!"
Sebastian hid his head under his arms as people ran away, his nose bloodied and ribs bruised form the assault and subsequent trampling. Henrik and the two others stopped firing as the scene ended, leaving Sebastian and 4 others injured, and 1 person, Javier Treiboz, dead on the scene.
Getting pulled up by Henrik, Sebastian groaned in intense pain as he was carried away from the blood pools forming by those hit by the bullets.
