V: Those with power will inevitably abuse it. Fact.
A: False. Those with power will only abuse it if they know they can.
V: So I should stand by and let your kind destroy the city because they can?
A:The moment you force our hand, my kind will be fighting you fang and claw until there is equality.
V: Equality. There is no such thing for monsters.
A: then I must change my statement. People in power abuse their power because they know they can. Fact.

Reporter: As part of the many changes implemented within the city after the massacare at the Merlion last month; with the approval of the CSSC after their research into the genetics and reactions under ultraviolet light, Blacklights will now be made available to the public so that if anyone does not wish to serve a neomage, will be able to detect them and will be within their full right to refuse service, as well as help maintain the segregation boundaries throughout the city between colours.
Vanta: It I important for us to remember how dangerous these ‘people’ can be. They are not ordinary, they have power and will abuse it. It is my job to protect the people however I can even if it means arresting neomages for not keeping to their boundaries or curfew.
Reporter: that was chief of police, commissioner Vanta Black with her addressing statement on the release of Blacklights to the public. Your next headline update is at seven AM.
Harley: ‘To protect the people’? Yeah right. More like ‘to scare the shit out of them even more’. Well the hypocrite is not arresting me for being me
Pg 1
Harley: But she can try and arrest me for this!
Pg 2
Nalia: Hey! The Greenie is here!
Zaff: Finally! So nice of you to catch up, are you done showing off now Harley?

Zaff: Your next trick, right. / How about I do one better and get rid of those Curlews you brought to the party
Harley: If you think you can handle them.
Zaff: There is a lot. I think a collective firework is in order / Amp it up!
[fires at the curlews]
Zaff: WOOHOO!

Jon: [screaming]

Alice: Poor boy, stuck with you as a driver. No wonder he’s terrified.

Alice: There will be no throwing kids at Curlews! Crap/ Looks like Vanta has sent her Anhinga out to play.

Alice: If you want to clear these baby birds out that would be great Andromeda.
Andra: aw/ I wanted to use it on the big one. /Oh well./
Pg 5
Andra: Weeeee!
Jon: I want to get off! Please let me get off!
Harley: Can I launch him at the Curlews now Alice? He’s grabbing where he shouldn’t.
Alice: No Harley. Drop him off someplace and meet us at Oliver’s. Try not to do anything stupid.
Andra: Stay safe.
Zaff: “Stay safe?” Was that worry I detect there? You're not going soft on us now, are you?
Nalia: Wait for it.
Andra: I will punch you in the fucking boob.
Nalia: There it is!
Pg 6
Jon: What was that?! Why did they go after just you guys?
Harley: You’ve never been to a Neon Rave before have you?
Jon: No.
Harley: This happens every time. We go out and have a party after curfew with all the other neomages and whoever else wants to join, a few explosions and a bass drop later the Curlews show up to arrest everyone and we, the colour runners, draw their attention away so everyone else can get away.
Jon: That’s very…

Ibis: Hostile target, H.Vermont subdued. / Ibis-48-E returning to Anhinga with target.
Harley: Put me down you- / AH!/ Never mind! Don’t drop me!
Pg 12
Ibis: I will not drop you. You are most safe in this state.
Harley: Vanta could at least use a different method of arrest, you’re ripping my arms off. / what the shit…? No magic?
