Scene 2 – The Members of the Line

Did you hear that ?
They want to get into the city !
But where are they from ?
Who are they ?
What are they looking for ?
They had nothing !
They were wandering about aimlessly
They were lost
We gave them the light and the heat
It was enough for them to live in the shadow of our generosity at first
And now they want more !
Always more !
A few hours of our light is enough though…
They are at the city door and we have to repel them
Why not giving them what they want ?
It would endanger our system !
We cannot accept that they become part of our world
They have to stay on the outskirts
They do know the rules, don't they ?
Yes, but they don't know the codes, they would not understand our decisions
And if we accept those first awakeners, others will come, and then some more
And we will quickly be overthrown
We will not be able to keep control
Maybe we should change the way we communicate
The people doesn't understand our arrogance
Perhaps, if they feel closer to us, a new balance could be found
Balance ? You're talking about balance ? But we are balance, we are what we created, the city is our masterpiece, nobody can take over the right to access our priviledge
Some day, we might need them…
It is too late
The line is in place
It is ready to operate
The line is in place
They are going to understand where they belong
That is, behind the line

(they all stand up and get out)
Let's witness their defeat
together
After you my dear !
So nice of you
I am still a little worried
Don't be, the line protects us !
What if some of them cross it
This is impossible… They haven't got the codes !
Of course, they haven't !
