CORRESPONDING MACRO-STORY BEAT: B/W Monkey Wrench and Enter Bizarro World

SHORT STORY SYNOPSIS/LOGLINE THAT INCLUDES A CLEAR BEGINNING, MIDDLE AND END: Nikolai Sparnikov was a convict headed to Pyralis, his crime? Murder. He claimed it was self-defence but that tends to be a common excuse among prisoners. He went on the S.S. Nostrovia thinking this would be the end of his life story, got into his cell marked #543 and stared at the wall for what felt like an eternity. The prison cells opened and he heard an unfamiliar voice on the speaker, a voice that told him to assemble, revolt and embrace chaos, a voice that gave him hope yet at the same time unparalleled energy to cause destruction, it was the voice of a leader. The ship crashes, fighting erupts with the convicts on the island, but once things settle down and both sides suffer enough casualty, Nikolai convinces both sides to see things his way and to elect Vladimir as their leader, the old captain did not expect to be in that position, but who could refuse having hardened convicts obey your command?
