Markus: you're scamming this guy?
Kara: I was thinking more like flat-out stealing from him?
Markus: what?! No!
Kara: why not? We already stole Connor!
Connor: hey guys.
Markus: no, we didn't. Connor can think and talk for himself. He can do whatever he wants!
Connor: I wanna steal.

There A Farm...
And 2008 saw the establishment of yet another micro-farm in Detroit, this one located inside the large city-owned Rouge Park on the west side of town. The 2-acre D-Town Farm is the project of the Detroit Black Community Food Security Network. Marilyn Barber, serving as the farm manager, organizes volunteers, especially school children, to come out and prep the soil, plant the sets, harvest the produce, and market the goods.
Detroit has always been a city of gardens. As Patrick Crouch, farm manager at the Earthworks Farm, noted, there are two main reasons for this. First, Detroit, unlike New York or Chicago, is a sprawling city of single-family homes, so residents always had space for vegetable and flower gardens. Second, the auto industry and other heavy manufacturing in the area drew many people from the southern states, people who grew up tending gardens and livestock. More recently, the influx of Spanish-speaking families has brought many people with farming experience from Mexico, Puerto Rico, etc.. So that, while city ordinances still prohibit keeping livestock, there are and have always been people around the city who kept chickens, ducks, rabbits, goats, etc.. And this spring, the Garden Resource Program’s class “Raising Chickens in the City” had 70 participants! That’s 70 new families that will be gathering their own, “farm-fresh” eggs this year in Detroit. And it is strong evidence that Detroit’s urban farm movement is growing broader and sinking deeper roots each year.

Data fortress
It was freeing to delete the fortress, this wasn’t him anymore. It didn’t feel like him, never really had after he became Deviant. Maybe he would rebuild something like it in the future but the fortress had been a constant reminder of his past. The reprogramming process took more time than he anticipated though and once it was complete Nines didn’t want to wake up anymore.

I've started having thoughts that are not part of my program… I’ve considered the possibility… that I might be compromised.
