4 Chapter 4: Sudden Change
Authors Notes: In many Comments people are complaining about the Speed. 3 meters per second is the Human male average, not Angus's average, this is just his current speed.
If one has no reason to run up inside a box in the sky, why would they be fast? Please remember that the wish adaptable body/mind allows faster earning of stats, he will become faster just not now.
Story Begins
During Angus's third week it went about the same as the first one.
Angus focused on Bending and Physical
But in the morning, He decided to mix Hand stands with Meditation, this would faster leveling of the skill, and sooner benefits of INT.
Morning Breakfast with John, was the regular, but instead of Angus asking the Earth scenario it was John.
John: If you were to go to the Earth at the end of summer early fall, what would you bring for seeds to plant?
Angus: Neat question, I would choose Wheat, since usually in Canada where my ancestors came from, one could plant wheat in October and harvest in early June, and you could plant again right then and harvest again before winter. It also helps that the Wheat stubble has many uses, Bedding, thatching, and can be used for brick making.
Angus: question for you John, If we were on earth and somebody broke a law, would Punish people the way we do here on the ark with death? Or would you Cut off a hand Like ancients, lashings or something else.
John Murphy: It would depend on the crime, I lean more towards Execution for things like rape and murder, but Stealing I would say lashings the amount depending on what was stolen, like an apple is 3 lashes while horse is 20.
After Breakfast it was the regular Chess and chat with Wells, who I asked to join Breakfast with Murphy and I. The rest of the day was training mainly Compression and Loosen, Since if he could get the mana requirement lower compression would be useful for Earth bullet, and maybe to make an earth wall skill
On Tuesday, at lunch after the regular morning routine, I finally approached Bellamy, who seemed to be having the day off since was in regular clothing.
Angus: Good afternoon my name is Angus Craig, I have seen you around what's your name.
Bellamy: My name is Bellamy, I usually see you talking with a prisoner about Earth, why are you so Fascinated with it, its not like you will see it in your lifetime.
Angus: Hah, Life is like a Box of chocolates, you never know what you will get. I might see it I might not. But If you went down today or in a year would you be ready Mentally?
Bellamy: That would be amazing to be down there. If we were then my sister would not be Floated next year.
Angus: Sister? How was she not aborted due to Ark Laws?
Bellamy: My mother had her in secret and we hid her under the floor, But last year I took her to a party and she was discovered. Mother got Floated and Octavia my sister was put in the Skybox. It was all my fault.
Angus: now Bucko, what were planning to do keep your sister under the floor for the rest of your life? That's not right. It also not right that they will kill her when they have already freed space by killing your mother. Anyway to better topics, do you want to join Murphy and I for our discussions?
The rest of the day carried on as usual
For the rest of the week Both Bellamy and Wells joined, John and I for our breakfasts. Here besides just Earth scenarios we also talked about regular, their problems and the juicy gossip that floated around. (such as Captain Kane being fucked by Chancellor Jaha, since he is such a little Bitch.)
And the 4th week was only changed to include 2 hours of library time right before bed.

At the end of the month after seeing these updates Angus was simply extastic.
Once he Trained Metal bending, he could start engraving runes, During His time in the Library, he developed a rune matrix that would absorb the ambient magic to constantly purify C02 into Oxygen. He just needed the training before started making them.
For the Next 2 months, Angus's schedule changed. Since Tutoring was no longer needed, Angus had to work 5-8 hrs per day in the farming Station. This was bad since he was able to work on tactile Earth manipulation, and complete it to max turning it into a new skill

4th Month
Plans Change, After contact with Enemy contact.
That the Problem there was not supposed to be an enemy.
But there was.
A guard
A rapist
A corpse
Angus in the Skybox
Now you may ask yourself how did I get here?
You will have to go to the day before.
While leaving Farm Station on Sunday, when most station work with a skeleton.
Angus heard a Scuffle and what sounded like a woman asking for help.
When Angus found her, she was on the ground with a Bloody nose and ripped clothing. Above her stood a fat balding guard, a bloody fist with the rest of her clothing held in that fist attached to the man.
When Angus saw this Scenario, His mind went red with fury. Since rape no matter how look at it is not right.
Surging Forward Angus Punched the guard in face, but the better word is smite since Angus forgot that he has a punching force over 500pounds. Thus Killing the Pig.
Leading, the Girl who he found out was named Harper Macintyre, to Med-bay. Angus told Abby Griffin who was working what happened. Immediately she sent Harper into a room with a nurse, after doing that Abby told Angus to wait where he was.
Abby then went off to find other guards and the corpse of the Pig.
And after that Angus was shuttled off to Skybox 5 months earlier than planned, without so much as an actual. All that happened for a trial was the councillors asking why Angus killed the man, and Chancellor Jaha saying Killing was never the right answer.
Angus was sentenced to solitary till his Death in 10 months when he is 18 (earth is in 8 months).
The First week of Prison, no visitors showed, but 3 meals a day did appear.
With all this spare time Angus, dedicated hours to working out, Metal bending, Rune research in the library and Meditation.
The Second week onwards I started receiving visits from Wells and Bellamy, who also massed on messages from John.
All three were pissed on the reasons why I was imprisoned.
Wells even tried to convince his father to overturn this ruling.
The months passed
One rune on the wall, grew to billions.
All of these were not activated but they served one purpose.
Once activated the will clean the oxygen for 100 people a day.
It might not be enough to save the 300 massacre but it may buy time.
Then the day came
The day when 100 Prisoners and 1 guard (Bellamy) were sent down to earth
