In the confines of the Atlantis prison, a grim situation was unfolding.
The mermaids, including Ethan, were enduring severe hardships, with their food rations dwindling to alarming levels.
The scarcity of sustenance was taking a toll on the prisoners' health, leading to a rising wave of illness that coursed through the cells.
Within this desperate environment, Orion, the leader of the resistance, assembled his comrades for a crucial meeting.
Orion stood at the forefront and addresses the assembly.
"My fellow comrades" he began, "the situation has grown more dire by the day. Our food dwindles, and our health falters. We can't stand by any longer. Some among us, teeter on the edge of survival. We must act."
He looked at Ethan's eyes.
Nerissa, Orion's steadfast co-leader and girlfriend, stepped forward.
"Orion is right" she agreed.
