Imagine a machine, a computer that can answer correctly any question you can think to ask, about absolutely anything at all. What would your question be? In this story, a psychologist and his friends are transported across time and space to find out exactly what that question might be for him and what the answer must involve. * Just one note. This story has a bit of a Christian bent to it. If that's just not your cup of tea, well then maybe this one is not for you! :P I just thought I should mention that here so you don't feel a little cheated halfway through. Cheers! ^_^

Now that she’s rotting in a prison cell, she’s not sure her dying mother made the right choice when she entrusted her with the secrets of rebellion.

Then she meets Thomas, a fellow inmate, who tells her stories of the mythical mountain colonies where people have names and the arts thrive. Together they plot an escape, knowing if they fail, they will die. Or worse, their consciousness will be taken by the MindWipe, leaving their bodies free for the government to use. When nothing goes as planned, Daughter4254 must choose between using her mother's secret to better the world she hates, or following Thomas to the quiet life of freedom she has always craved.
