Start Up Sequence Engaged

D3AD_L0X Starting Up

The words flickered to life on my vision, and I jolted awake. 

D3AD_L0X Fully Engaged

Standby

I looked around, blinking madly as my vision adjusted to the bright light. I was seated on a metal table.

“Hmmm..” there was a girl standing in front of me, watching me curiously as she took notes.

Strange…I didn’t even know my name, what am I doing here, what hap—

“Well, you seem to be operating correctly..” the girl said.

I blinked.

She looked up at me. “Do you know your name?”

I shook my head.

“You are D3AD_L0X. Your ID number is 1337304. We, the workers here, will be addressing you with either name.”

D3AD_L0X….I shrugged, feeling nothing.

She pulled out a small metal object and place it in front of me. “I want to see if you function properly..” she told me.

I nodded, and placed my hand on the device.

Hack Sequence Engaged

Hack Sequence 4% Complete

I blinked a couple of times. My vision was flooded with files.

Hack Sequence 100% Complete

New Data Downloaded

She stared at me with surprise. She checked over the device, surprised. “Completely empty..” she uttered.

I just blinked, sorting through the files I had stolen.

The person looked back at me, eyeing my face. “Tomorrow, we’ll give you another important file.”

I nodded.

The girl walked over and placed her hand on my power button, and I flinched.

“My name is Tris, by the way…” she muttered as she pressed it.

My vision grew darker and darker, along with the information that I had recently taken.
