You're on the cusp of becoming a hero.
Having been mistreated and abused by the Ark all your life and not knowing who you were as a human, you and 199 more Nikkes decided to leave the Ark using an Elevator. You are basically their de facto leader due to most of the Nikkes trusting you and your abilities.
You and the group reach the Elevator and as you're about to enter it you hear a group of soldiers appear sent by the Central Government. "Get back here, traitors! You are not allowed to leave!" says the Deputy Chief
You respond by closing the door and starting the Elevator. The Elevator risen up and you felt like you're finally gonna escape to the surface and start a new life without oppression. Some of the Nikkes were celebrating their escape while others felt a bit worried about getting captured and disposed of.
Meanwhile down below:
"Cut the cables. We wont let those filthy pieces of scrap escape." says the Deputy Chief to one of the soldiers.
