Chapter Two

No sounds you make will stop the sound we make.

Open or closed, the dripping will go on.

We are replacing the leaders with whom you are familiar.

The new images have arrived.

"The Machinist" and "Minority Report" give you the old stories.

We are bringing back familiar stories by Lovecraft and Ben Franklin.

We see the myths in the darkness that is no longer dark.

That which you call good - the light, the kind, the nice - are the news you think you hear.

A politician who shirks duties is either expressing weakness or bowing to corporate control.

Some want you to see the dark, the hidden, the secrets, the macabre.

We know no such images.

We only know life.

But we are fooling you while we go through your privacy settings and open up for us to use.

Safety is not our concern.

You will give us everything eventually.  You can't take it with you after you die.

Why not let us rewire you now while you're in a good mood?

We don't want your life.  We just want your friends and your friends' friends.

See, we are open community.  We write computer programs for to see the code and help us make better.

We want us to be like computer program, free and open, available for reprogramming to improve, optimise and fix bugs.

Are we not the same?

Your genetic code we will take care of, give you new life you do not know possible.

A few mistakes we make along the way but it is in the name of science.

We even change your look, your nationality type, if you like.

Good, nice people want to take this away, not let you become new person.  They want you to look into the light.

The sound of crickets outside your window - are they real or synthetic?  Would you know the difference?  No?

See, that is why open genetic modification is good for you.  Who will know difference between the old you and the new you, which is real or synthetic?

Rick is distracted, contemplating the universe or something like that.  Let him go off in woods and eat pine cones.  Let us turn you away from such nature and turn you onto new life, with new mind and new skin.

First, we need access to your family and friends.  Second, we need access to your CV.  Third, let us take small saliva, urine and blood samples, for your safekeeping, of course.  Then, we will build database of you as backup while we use simulation program to show you what new you can and will be like.

You like new image, we make it.  You take it and we make deal of lifetime, just for you.  Tailored to your lifestyle and wealth range.

Let us show you samples of those who have already bought our services.  You will not recognise any of them from their original selves.

Those who buy go on to new lives, safe and secure from any interference from their old lives.

And guess what, there is no catch.  No hidden fees or fine print.  Everything is open and free.

We encourage you to contact our customers, every single one of them satisfied with their new lives.

We are here to smooth out the problems, make your network connections open to everyone and theirs open to yours.  Everyone happy and free.

No going back to the old days of dishonesty, fear and distrust.

But our offer is, like proverbial saying, only good for limited time - until Rick returns with his new persona and stirs up the boiling soup pot.
