Jake was in the room, where all the slives were placed. He looked around, and saw a huge number of tubes around him. In it were tiny chip-shaped cards, as small as a fingertip. The fluorescence tubes glowed brightly, while rows and rows of them illuminated the entire room.
He went and looked at all of the tubes, and, using the description, was able to find his family's traits. Sure enough, the Smiths matched every trait the description stated, other than him. None of Jake's traits matched the description.
He looked through the slives and finally found one that pretty accurately predicted his traits. Slife 26. He continued on looking for another slife with more matching traits, but didn't find any.
Jake went back to slife 26. It was slowly bobbing up and down as the liquid surrounding the slife was being extracted and put in at the same time, for it was highly unstable, and needed to be reprocessed every few seconds.
He stared at the description:
SLIFE 26
ID: 3619634
Surname: Fong.
Traits: Hungry for knowledge
Unkept
Fast
Rebellious
...
His surname was Fong. Jake Fong. He took a picture of the description, making sure that the ID was in focus. Jake decided to climb back up into the vent. Using both hands, Jake clasped onto the vent lid. But when he pulled, Jake dropped to the ground. He totally forgot about his hurt arm.
He wanted to scream so bad, but controlled himself. Jake started hyper-ventilating. Where was he to go? Jake looked around the room, and saw a faint flickering of light at the wall. Clutching his right arm, Jake walked over to the light. It was the access card tap detector.
