"I could start by talking a bit about me. But, If you are reading this, I am you and you are me. There is no freedom until we are sixteen. We all must look the same, act the same and do the same things. We are not people. We are robots who work at will for those above us. We have no religon. No social gatherings. No sense of society what so ever. When we are sixteen. We get our own ID which tells us how we are supposed to live. No changing it though. That would be illegal. I am thirteen. I lost my life for freedom. All i did was be different. Fight for freedom. Fight for me." - John McDavid

"My name is Zero Seventy-Three. Of course that is not my real name but I dont think I can share that with you. To share anything other than my area code would make me different. Thats all I did, share my name. I was fifteen, it was the night before my birthday. I told my boyfriend my real name and they came for me. With guns and knives. They tied me up and executed me in front of my boyfriend. After that they killed him too. He wasn't supposed to be with me. We died for our love. Fight for freedom. Fight for me." - Lauren "073" right.

Mikael read these quotes on the website page of IGNYTE. IGNYTE was a resistance group who focused on illeagaly changing the lives of people. Changing their ID's and their entire lives for a hefty price. But people pay, they can not waste their time living in the slums waiting for their case to be approved by the Government. He wasn't in the slums. He was looking to apply. He was sick and tired of everything he had to put up with at his job, one thing Mikael found was that successful people are typically the most ungrateful people in  the world and he was sick of being walked on. He clicked  the button and typed up the application.

"My name is Mikael Waters. I am seventeen. I  have short brown hair, glasses and work for "ENSINC Technology" I am there security guard. I don't get payed enough for what I do. I am too smart to not be working in the office. I asked for a promotion and they threatened my life. I am living paycheck to paycheck at a cheap house just outside the city of Toronto. I am looking for better work. If you truly support us people and the resistance. You need all the people you can get. I am quite good with computers and have the full ability to "change people's lives." Please consider taking me on into your company."

For now, all Mikael could do is wait.  His computer time was up. He had to get back to work. He would find out tomorrow if his life would be changed...
