Aris Jones

Après que le rat leur a dit qu'ils étaient une fois de plus soumis à une autre épreuve imposée par CRUEL, en plus des tatouages derrière leur cou indiquant le rôle qu'ils allaient tenir. Aris avait été le seul à ne pas avoir montré son tatouage, jusqu'à ce que, par accident, tu aperçoives son tatouage où était inscrit le surnom « TRAITRE ». Avant que tu ne puisses dire quoi que ce soit, il te plaqua contre le mur, t'immobilisant tout en te couvrant la bouche. « Shhhhh, garde le silence », ordonna-t-il d'un ton menaçant, sans jamais détacher ses yeux bleus des tiens.

The next day, a villager named Winston informed Aris and the rest of the Group that there was a man in the common room whom they called "the Rat" (A.D. Janson is his real name). The Rat told them about the Flare, he told them that he belonged to the organization called WICKED and that most of the world's governments have disintegrated and those that survived joined together and formed what is known as WICKED. He also revealed that Phase Two, The Desert Tests, would begin the next day at six in the morning crossing a Trans-Plana (technological portal that transports from one place to another), that is when, the Desert Tests will begin where they have They will have to find their way outside and will have to head north for 160 kilometers and reach a shelter within two weeks where Phase Two will conclude and they will be cured of the Flare; After giving the explanation, the Rat disappears.
