Suddenly, two guards appeared in the green hall. Between them was dragged along a tall, black-haired boy. He did not resist; he was beyond that, and its not like it would make a difference anyway. His hands were immobilised by normal steel handicuffs, instead of the standard- issue plasma-locked cuffs, partly because he still would not resist, but mostly because the old school cuffs were completely mechanical and had minimal moving parts. This boy was known as Deus.
