 * Breaking Point **


 * It began ten years ago with the start of the war. It was a civil war between the loyalists and the rebels. The loyalists are the people who support the government and believe whatever they say and the rebels are the government doubters and they think they're conspiring against their own people. When the war was over and the loyalists came out victorious, the government or more commonly referred to as the High Order decided to abolish all crime. They slaughtered all rebels and started a new society with only loyalists. now this was not a permanent solution because loyalists can turn to rebels at anytime. So the government put a national surveillance system in place without anyones knowledge. When someone is born there is to be a device placed in their brain called an interceptor and what it does is it streams constant video to a data collection center. These video streams can be viewed by anyone in the High Order. If they see anything disturbing they can send someone out to take care of the problem. This isn't very effective because of the massive amounts of videos so there has to be another way to stop the rebels and the answer to that is use the loyalists. The government implements a point system, for every loyalist who turns in a loyalist with ties to the rebels or is a rebel in disguise is given 5 points, any loyalist who supplies credible information on rebel whereabouts is awarded 2 points, and any loyalist who gives the high order a tip on a domestic crime is awarded 1 point.This system of surveillance and points is what stops crime from happening but the problem with this is that there is a fight between the loyalists for points. The way to tell the High Order of the crime or rebel whereabouts is too write a report of how you obtained the information and submit it to one the high order’s building. The reason everyone is trying to get points is because the government kills anyone who doesn't have a certain amount of points after 3 years (commonly referred to as the grand quota). This is because the government thinks of those people who didn't get the required points as useless or criminal. This story takes place around Barros who started out as a loyalist and as time went on he tried to find a way to take down the government. Every three years there is a points ceremony which honors the top three ranking citizens in respect to their points. . 3nd place is a check for 1,000 peace notes ( a large sum of money). 2nd place prize is a job at the national surveillance headquarters ( a very high paying job). 1st place is an acceptance into the high order. This is how Barros will infiltrate the High Order and discover the truth. His most efficient way of getting points is stealing reports from others and turning them in under his own name. Its riskey but Barros believes somebody needs to do it. **
