Entering the "FEMA" Camp, possible reality

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Post Situation X]

You have been separated from your family in recent events, the urgency of the national situation became top prioriety competing with survival.

"It all happened so fast, how did things come to such a point. My family has to be on the next train, they were right behind me before i was shoved away. Our leaders didn't warn us, our news stations didn't air such stories, but maybe it was to keep as all calm and more malleable."

The packed boxcar is a constant reminder of your vulnerability, moments ago you were stuffed into a boxcar by military escorts. Escorted on the first come first served basis out of a rampant crowd of thousands, seeking nothing but more stability in their lives. The boxcar is silent, dead silent, everyone is burdened with their new reality, a reality in which the future is not guarenteed for the people they once knew. The people they once shared a dinner table with. The people in their old school yearbooks, lovers&friends. Acquaintences and foes alike. All of whom aren't promised a tomorrow, will they survive the cold nights? Geared with only the shirt on your back you overhear a pair converging on what's to happen.

^"Th-This is... This can't be happening, I saw the pictures, I heard the stories, but i thought this was all poppy-cock, mumbo jumbo."
*"I heard the stories too, read the articles and watched videos. well i guess we'll get the real inside scoop. Whats really down there inside those Camps"
^"Camps?"
*"Yea, the alledged camp is supposed be an hour outside of town. There will probably be other trains heading to that point as well."

After an hour of standing you notice the monolithic train losing momentum. peaking through a near-by crevice a large gray compound is clearly visible over the next hillside. You begin to wonder.

Will the nightmare finally end, or is it just beginning? How will you comply? Marshal Law was declared after the (Sit-X) disaster. You know that somewhere out there are others completely isolated from the disaster still maintaining their freewill, and home-produced foods and survival equipment. Not knowning whats down in the depths of the reinforced concrete compound, your options for a better life look bleak. Distrusting your government for not informing you and your loved ones, you know that once you enter that facility there will be no return from it unless Authorized to do so.

This could be your last chance for freedom, your last breath of fresh rural air. What do you do in such situations? Resist or Comply? Pros and cons to each, both inciting risk. Brave the open world? or Sumbit to containment?

Ooooh, this is a good one. It's a hard question to answer with a few possibilities for me.

Option 1: While being taken from home fight/resist against whoever is taking me. (Before being seperated).

Pro:
1. I win this battle, kill/wound the other person, gain access to their weapons and hope to have done this in a quick enough time to either protect myself from other people who are in or around my neighborhood taking other people like myself, or, try to help them by killing/wounding the attacking party(s).
Con:
1. I lose this battle and instead of being hauled off to the camp I'm shot execution style in front of my family, friends, neighbors sending a very clear message and example to others.
2. I lose this battle and I get severely beaten by this person and then taken to the camp where I will be tortured before being killed either from said torture or some other means.

Option 2: I go on the train to the camp and revolt with the other prisoners

Pro:
1. We, the prisoners, through secretive messages devise a way to overthrow the camp and gain control as well as weapons. From there we go and free others
Con:
1. We lose this battle resulting in all of the praticipants being beaten, tortured, and executed.
2. We succeed in taking out the base but are then nuked/bombed into oblivion, doing us no good.

Option 3: Do nothing

Pro:
1. Living
2. Coming out ok the way I am now
Con:
1. Living in a world similar to the book 1984.
2. Being brainwashed and or tortured (implants, drugs, psychological factors all being the things I'd have to live with).

I've actually thought about this, thought it out some. Not sure what I'd do for sure. Each option has some good points and some very bad ones, most noticeably, death. It's easy for me to say I'd choose option 1; I very well might, however, what good am I if I'm dead? What good am I if I can't do anything once in the camp, like in option 2. What happens if I do decide to go with option 3 and I do survive, but come out just a hollow shell? I think I'd prefer option 1 or 2; however, I don't know what I would do. I guess it could depend on the person that comes to get me, whether or not there are many of the same types, ect. I don't really know, I wish I did, but I don't. If I had to guess, I'd choose option 2 just based on the scenario. I'd have to assume that the other individuals on the train would hopefully be thinking the same thing I am and then a revolt would work, otherwise, I'd be screwed.

yea, it truely is a deep question. the main reason why i proposed it. We as Americans really don't have a clue whats down in those camps, good chance is that most of them go subterrain. we don't know the maximum occupancy, who's at top command of these facilities, why the government is current supporting their existence, or what their true purpose holds.

When Sit-X does happen and these facilities are used, the average person could very well be in the situation i posted above. uninformed, survival and fear driven. Under those strained conditions, making the decision whether to leave or stay will be questionable and controversial within the persons mind.
