Guardian of Knowledge Chapter II
1975 - 1980 David Cooper’s New Reality David had left the terrors of war in the rice paddies and jungles of Vietnam and was anxious to restart a life he had barely begun before being drafted into the Army. His hometown of Leominster, Massachusetts, hadn’t changed much since he had been gone. Two forms of factories dominated the city. One type of factory produced plastic pellets, the raw material needed for manufacturing everything from toothbrushes and sunglasses to five-gallon buckets, pink lawn flamingos, and car parts. The other factories ran the molding machines that produced everything made of plastic. There was a third place a person might find work if he had training, and that was a tool and die shop. This is where blocks of steel were skillfully carved into the molds used by the molding machines to form the plastic products. Out of the three occupations, tool and die maker paid the most, but none of the jobs interested David.

No lattice of glass could hide the violence beneath.

~ Smith's POV Holy fucking shit! It's Inmate Zero. How did she get in here? Last I saw on the monitors she was still in her room meditating. I've read her file at least twice. Nothing in it said anything about whatever the fuck is going on right now. It feels like there's a rope taking hold of my entire body like a snake constricting. I can't move an inch.
