Insurgent 425-525
Beatrice makes the decision to help Marcus instead of Tobias. Marcus drives Beatrice and Christina to Amity headquarters. Once they get there, Beatrice explains to Johanna what their plan is and what will be going on in the city during this time. Johanna then calls a meeting of everyone in the compound. She tells everyone about what will be happening and asks for them to discuss entering the city as peacekeepers to try to prevent the slaughter of Erudite. The majority of Amity decides that they want to stay in their compound and not get involved. Johanna goes against this decision and in doing so, loses her spot as an Amity representative. The Abnegation and the Erudite that were in Amity join with a few Amity that were willing to go in the city. The attack that the Dauntless and factionless were going to start was to be that afternoon, so they head into the city in the morning, to find that the gate was unguarded. They are fearful that the attack has begun early. They reach the Erudite headquarters to find that it is heavily guarded by Candor people under a simulation. Beatrice, Cara, a former Erudite, and Marcus split up from the rest of the group to find the information as the rest help with the wounded. Beatrice discovers that the Candor only respond to motion, so she decides that they can go in a building beside the compound and get in through the windows above them. This works with only one casualty. Then Cara, Beatrice, and Marcus discover that the attack has begun on the lower levels and head upstairs. They reach the control room and search for the information. The door opens and it is Caleb. He tries to stop them but it unsuccessful. Beatrice remembered what Tori said about the information being kept on a private computer, so they head up to Jeanine's laboratory, which is heavily guarded. After another confrontation, only Beatrice and Marcus are left to find the information. They decide to split up. Beatrice goes into a room that turns into a simulation. She is back in the Dauntless compound fighting herself. She beats the simulation with little time to spare before she would end up dying. She heads into the next room to find Tori about ready to kill Jeanine. Beatrice and Tori get into a fight, but then Tori ends up killing Jeanine before Beatrice can do anything about it. Then Tobias and Uriah come into the room and believe that she is a traitor. They take her to the lobby with the other war criminals. Then Tobias takes Caleb to disarm the security system for the laboratory. As a Dauntless leader, Tori tells everyone that a new political system to be put in place. Once she's done, Beatrice realizes the all the factionless have guns, which were taken from the Dauntless. Evelyn then stands in front of the crowd to tell everyone that the faction system will be destroyed and that it will be hard to resist without any guns. Tobias then comes back, and all the working screens in the lobby turn on, with a message; the information that was supposed to be a secret. A woman comes on the screen and explains who she is and why she is doing this. Pictures of places and actions similar to the Holocaust appear and then the woman explains that this is happening around the world. This city, Chicago, was chosen to be separated from the world to try to find what it takes to be at peace and rediscover the moral sense that so many others have lost. She left the video for them so that they will know when to help the rest of the world. They were waiting for an abundance of people in this group whose minds were more flexible than others and these people would be called Divergent. Then the woman explains that she will join them in the city and to prove this, she tells them that her new name will be Edith Prior; Beatrice's mother.
