The four vans arrive at the theatre, the occupants of two vans head around the back of the theatre, using barricades to block off every doorway to the outside they see while the rest enter the theatre through the front door, Mal merging with the shadows as soon as he enters. The rest of the occupants begin setting up a holding area using the old ticket booths, Mal stops traversing the shadows to witness the argument on stage. The door barricading soldiers return to the main group in the front area of the theatre.

Mal's voice appears from the shadows of the main stage. [i]"Give yourselves up, there is nowhere out of this old theatre to freedom." [/i]The voice is faint, raspy and every s Mal pronounces lingers, the shadows grow by a rough centimetre. [i]"Do not try to escape, you will only meet a worse fate." [/i]
