"Well, then you are one of the lucky few that managed to not get injured during the attack," she said.

"What happened here?" Ning asked.

"Some convict must have decided to fight back instead of accepting their punishment," she said. "Go on and help the others. Many of the other prisoners decided to leave during the attack. The other officers are trying to keep them in, and they are fighting back."
