"You want me to go in deep cover? "

"We need you to get in close with then, and I mean close, I'm talking fucking VIP here"

"Jesus. I mean are you sure you want me for this? Send Sullivan out there, he's just as qualified as I am"

"Look, I get that you hate the cult after what happened with you brothers but wee need you for this, Sully got taken last week. I wouldn't be doing this to you if I didn't need to" Eli

"Are you asking me to do this, or are you ordering me?" Max leaned onto the table

"I'm ordering you"

"Fuck man, how would I even join them?"

"Well I'd start over in falls end, you can take that girl we saved with you, speaking of her you should go check on her, might have so information."

"Alright, I'll head there, I could use a drink anyways." Max just nodded his head and went to help Wheaty, alas the girl knew nothing.

"Max!" Tammy cried out

"Yes ma'am?"

"Take her to falls end"

"Yes ma'am"

Max guided the girl to the car

She seemed out of it, stuck in her own thoughts

Max decided to break the silence

"You know, I respect their choices and all, but I believe in one thing, freedom, whether it be freedom of speech or freedom of religion" he glanced over to her
"You look bothered, something wro-"
An arrow interrupted his sentence piercing through his shoulder
His vision started to go red and he became very sleepy unable to keep his eyes open and before he knew it he was out.

He woke up in a cell with a couple other resistance members. He pushed himself to the back and waited.
They waited for day after day until one morning Joseph came,
He knelt down in front of the cage.

Max's Point of View

We were covered in dirt, blood, and sweat.
We've been left here to stew in our own filth for days. A couple of us were talking about breaking out, while others just wanted to be killed. When Joseph walked over we had all prepared for the worst, I leaned on the back of the cell

"Children, you have all been led astray, you all have been distracted. Please listen to me this once"
One of the people near the front spit in Joseph's face, he stood up and wipped off his face. He remainded stoic.

"Our family does not live up in the digital cloud.
Our family does not send status updates.
Our family does not care what you were wearing.
We only care that you are clothed.
And our family does not care where or what you eat.
We only care that you are fed.
And our family knows the truth, and the truth is that you are all special.
You are all engaging.
That you are all fantastic and capable and wonderful.

Something is coming. You can feel it can't you?
The world is reaching its tipping point and we are hooked.
And we are blind to our obsessions and our obession is consumption.
Relentless consumption.

You see we need to have the next best phone.
And then to go with that phone we need a new watch or we need the best glasses.
And then we need a new bag to put all of our stuff in.

And then of course we need, well we need streaming music.
And we need streaming t.v.
And streaming movies.
And streaming news.
And streaming opinion.
And streaming truth.
And streaming lies and lies and lies, screaming in our heads!
