"2046, the global energy crisis." "No one thought it would happen so fast, the whole world just went dark." "Gasoline, coal, any form of energy became the world's most valuable resource." "We fought for it, we died for it." "The wealthiest among us built towering cities in the sky called risers, where they could be safe." "The rest of us were forced to survive on the streets, now called the lowers." "Two years ago, scientists Daniel Miller created a new energy source called The Signal." "Riser officials immediately begin production on a transmitter." "Daniel Miller mysteriously disappeared soon after." "The signal transmitter, located in the lower district, now generates power for the entire city." "Despite this, it is rumored to cause sickness and even death to those exposed to its transmission." "A condition they call signal poisoning." "Riser officials deny the allegations." "But, they're still searching for Daniel Miller." "You know I don't like being out here long." "Where are you?" "Daniel, I'm close, I'll be right there." "No, you're late." "You got five minutes." "Daniel, I'm on my..." "Perimeter scan complete." "Same old, same old." "No tracers detected." ""Attention residents of the lower districts." "In seven days, The Signal will begin global transmission."" ""Our clean, wireless power source will finally mark the end of the global energy crisis." "Your cooperation as we embark on this new phase of transmission."" "Out of the way!" "Hey!" ""...will be the key to global prosperity."" ""Each citizen will be required to donate a portion of their cycles to the global reserve."" "Disruptor in position." ""User account quotas will be adjusted as needed."" "Where you been?" "I'm sorry man." "You can't be late." "Alright." "You cannot be late!" ""...over the next 24 hours."" ""This small sacrifice will ensure the program's continued success." "With your support, the signal will continue to be a beacon of light for the rest of the world."" "All right, here you go." "Wait a minute, just one." "One chip, one cell." "We talked about this." ""..and ensures our future by keeping us connected... "" ""Citizens, the signal is killing us all."" "Come on man." "That's it, that's it." "You've got to go." ""We are the resistance." ""This wireless transmission of signal energy is deadly." "It is affecting you on a cellular level."" ""The primary symptom is extreme spatial disorientation." "Left untreated, it leads to dementia and even death."" ""We must stop the signal before global transmission." "Signal poisoning is real."" ""The energy source was never properly tested." Enhancing." "Tracers approaching." "Dammit." ""..but given time, anyone will fall victim to the symptoms. .."" "Hey, works a lot better with this." "Get back." "Whoa, whoa..." "Get back, now!" "OK, alright." "Listen, don't shoot." "Now drop it." "I'm going to put this down." "Drop it and step away." "Slow" "You're a woman?" "You're a genius, let me go!" "Look, I'm trying to help you, alright!" "A Disruptor?" "Really?" "These haven't worked for months." "Look." "Tracers?" "Yeah, they been on you for a minute now." "If you run, they'll trace you." "You know this right?" "Last chance, you want my help or not?" "Yeah." "Okay, break it all apart." "All of it." "This will help weaken the trace." "Alright, I'm going in the front." "You two, down the perimeters." "Let's do it." "Go lay down over there." "In the garbage?" "We don't have time for this all right?" "They won't suspect us it we look bad and smell worse Go." "Go." "Go." "Hey, excuse me." "Can we just have a word with you for a second?" "Is that?" "It's him." "Sir, it's Daniel Miller." "That's impossible." "Daniel Miller is dead." "We're looking right at him." "Will then take him!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "He's on the move." "Don't let him get inside." "Inside where?" "Inside anywhere!" "No, don't kill him!" "I need him alive!" "Listen, you don't understand." "Signal Poisoning is real." "Hook him up." "Please." "Its killing all of us." "With me it's just different." "Please, I don't want to hurt anybody." "Don't worry, you won't." "No." "No no no, wait wait wait!" "Alive and well, eh Daniel?" "I expected you dead years ago." "Have a little patience." "Yeah, guess that's my problem." "Patience." "I always like to get things over with." "Last chance, you want my help or not?" "That was the day I met Daniel Miller." "The day we stopped hiding and started telling the truth." "The signal is killing us all."
