[ MARCH 20, 20XX] 

 

A new assignment to a precinct in the Lower City arrived in my memory bank today. My original assignment in the city was the Upper City.

 

So needless to say I am excited. 

 

I took a taxi down and made a new friend. He calls himself Cameron. I told him my name is **Investigation Unit (IU) 4500 Gen 3-45** but that I prefer Issac. 

 

“Issac” he said

 

“They let you pick that out yourself?”

 

“Yes” I responded

 

“If you are a unit then what are you doing down here?”

 

“Keeping the peace “

 

“Good luck”

 

“Thank you, Cameron”

 

“That was sarcasm, man. What--were you born yesterday?”

 

“Actually 76 days ago”

 

I like the Lower City, it’s colorful and full of life. 

 

Cameron, who has now become my regular taxi driver, says it’s foolish of me to speak so highly of such a place.

 

 I think he’s the one who hasn’t stopped to smell the proverbial roses in a while.
