[ Well one thing is for certain. Van has a good head on his shoulders. He seems far more down to earth than a lot of boys his age.

You do seem to be taking it well. Better than a lot of people, at least. It is a great deal of information to be dumped on you. And there are clusters of information various imPorts have compiled in order to make it easier to digest over time. But I believe the most important thing we face as long as we are within this world is the war. I've been here for a few months, and while it has been quiet during that time, I imagine that is only the calm before the storm.

The Russians infiltrated this country and were attempting to utilize mind control in an effort to turn imPorts over to their side. Unfortunately, we are viewed as weapons more than we are individuals. And both sides want us in a bid for power.
