Solarbabies Page #5

Synopsis: In a future in which most water has disappeared from the Earth, we find a group of children, mostly teenagers, who are living at an orphanage, run by the despotic rulers of the new Earth. The group in question plays a hockey based game on roller skates and is quite good. It has given them a unity that transcends the attempts to bring them to heel by the government. Finding an orb of special power, they find it has unusual effects on them. They escape from the orphanage (on skates) and try to cross the wasteland looking for a place they can live free as the stormtroopers search for them and the orb.

There shouldn't be any peer pressure.

Wait.

- It's unanimous. We go.

- All right!

Rabbit!

- I did it!

- Let's move!

- Yeah!

- All right!

Alerts imposed on all quarters.

But why would they even try to escape?

There's no point in it.

Maybe they were challenged

by the ineptitude of your system.

Maybe they couldn't resist.

A Tchigani.

- He doesn't know that.

No child here knows his origin.

It's the law.

- He was taken at the age of two months.

- It's in his blood.

There are still some Tchigani

camped in the wastes. He'll find them.

Seven little douchkies all in a row.

How are you going to explain all this

to the inquisitor from mainstream control?

Maybe when you find them

you can bring them back here.

It might pass unnoticed.

But that's not the law.

The law requires that I take them to

my headquarters to be surgically altered.

You're not suggesting

that I break the law, are you?

Of course, you know, I could tell them

what you're always telling me.

That you don't run a prison here.

Grock, I don't want them hurt!

Maybe you should have

thought of that before.

Alerts imposed on all quarters.

Advise perimeter control.

- Jason, we're free.

- Yes.

- I told you, we're free!

- It's nice.

We're free! We're free!

- We're free! All right!

- Yeah!

- We made it!

- I can't believe it! We can breathe!

Wait, wait!

- E-Pigs! They're on our trail!

Go!

Wait. Wait a minute.

Disassemble the bi-chopper!

Let's go!

Come on, Jason, run!

- Come on! Come on!

- Come on, jump over!

Jason, you can make it!

- Jason, watch out! Hurry!

- Come on, Jason!

- Come on, Jas!

- Come on!

Whoa!

Watch out!

- All right!

- Yeah.

- Hooray!

- Yeah!

- We did it!

- All right, we made it!

Yeah, I know.

But where?

Ivor!

What is it?

Who are you?

- I've never been sure.

- Don't be cryptic with me, boy.

I was raised in a Protectorate orphanage.

That's all I know.

What do they call you?

I call myself Darstar.

The owl. It's yours?

As much as an owl is anyone's.

You are Tchigani.

- Tchigani!

Tchigani!

What is this place?

It used to amuse people.

Hey, boy!

He's old.

He lives only to keep the past.

You are sooner than expected.

Now show it to me. Show it to me.

- Where did you get it?

- What does it matter?

He brought it to us.

He brought it? He brought it?

I think it brought him.

- I know it has powers, but...

- It has will.

There is the difference.

Stop trying to shuffle our brains.

How can we use it?

The force of will...

Be quiet! I am speaking!

This force of will is not one of your

blind energies which can light a lamp

or make an engine hum.

It chooses its own path.

So that if anybody is going to be used
