02/21/10(Sun)20:42 No.320693  After
typing the coordinates into my GPS, I learned it was only a few hundred
yards away, and no houses were near. I decided to give the man a
chance, but I still brought one of my kitchen knives with me.
I
found the man, right where he said he would be, sitting propped against a
tree. I hid the knife in my back pocket, and made my presence known. He
fell backwards, in an attempt to shuffle away, but then apparently
recognized me and relaxed. He stood up, and began filling in the holes
left by the letter.
“In 2147, the worlds largest computer maker was
“bought out” by the acting government at the time. With the government
being in charge of the development and distribution of every “essential”
device of the twenty-second century, they saw the potential this posed.
They began implementing their years worth of research into brain wave
manipulation, with a very strong emphasis on emotion control. They
implanted the device used for doing so in the power source of every one
of their products. If it was ever tampered with, the device would
disintegrate and render the product ineffective.”
I tried to ask how
he could have possibly known this, but he continued at a pace similar
to that of a person who is trying to say something before they have to
inhale again.
“Their first attempt was to convince the citizens that
technological competition against the government was counterproductive.
Needless to say, they succeeded, and consequentially, they became the
only provider of technological devices.”
At this point, the man was
acting pretty weirdly, pulling on his hair, pacing back in forth. It
was as if he was trying to convince himself, rather than me, that his
accusations were true. |
