I frowned and noticed for the first time the spinning cameras above me. This new system sucked. They promised more freedom but it’s worse than living under the previous regime. 

“Dude, I just need to use the tablet. Mine was…confiscated.” I said and marched toward one of the consoles in the enclosed area beneath the dome. That’s it. I don’t care. Whoever these new people are, they can all go to hell.
