    Congratulations! You''ve discovered this holo-tablet! Now you know you''re not alone!


    <div>


    Underneath this tablet is a crate. I''ve left you nourishment rations. Try to replenish them for the next lost soul.


    <div>


    Observe the ''Plugins'' rationing schedule as they temporarily go offline. You''ll find a gap.


    <div>


    Beware of the sentries!


    <div>


    Try to avoid detection, but use the handheld EMP if you must. Set it for wide dispersal. You must shut down all the roboguards you see before they alert HQ.


    <div>


    On a personal note:


    <div>


    Yes, I''m guilty, and I''d do it again. Because what the government did was unforgivable: banning pet ownership.


    <div>


    They also pitched this utter nonsense of virtual pets. Sure they seemed totally real, more compliant, and immortal, but subscription-based? Seriously? Is that a cruel joke?


    <div>


    They forced us to abandon our beloved and loyal companions to pay for avatar ''Buddies.''


    <div>


    Fortunately, I found my dog, so she''s with me now.


    <div>


    So yes, I admit, I hacked the system to give everyone a free virtual pet. How''s that wrong?


    <div>


    Anyways, they exiled me. I''m completely disconnected with my Chip disabled. I''m going to build myself a refuge and live like a real human being—struggling and surviving with a life of my own choosing, no matter how short.


    But at least I''ll have my real dog with me.


    <div>


    One last thing:


    <div>


    Best of luck to you,


    <div>
