"Mommy, I don't want them to hurt me,"

"Don't worry honey, it will only be for a second, it's like getting a shot..."

...steam whistled around the small building, coming from manholes. The normally bustling inner city of Highfather was quiet and orderly. The soldiers made sure of it. In the building, there came cries, screams of small children as the needles penetrated their hands. Government artists, wearing orange fatigues, inserted isotope-loaded ink into the tattoo pens. The final product of all the masterpieces was a black tattoo, a barcode, each one unique.

The isotopes in the ink, kept under lock and key by the Burnsian government, were stored deep underground in the Burnsian Internal Affairs bunker. The isotope could be tracked by relaying its specific chemical property through a special lens on a sattelite. Every single shipment was guarded by four tanks and two IFV's. Nothing was recorded missing.

In two days, every single person in The Burnsian Desert would be reduced to a number.

OOC: Sorry for the lackluster post, but I really don't have time today :).

"Maybe, if you just took the core DNA of every resident in your nation, and used remote scanners with a special lens to view said DNA, it would be less painful for your people and less security would be required."-The Great Leader Li.

ooc: you're probably not as futuristic as I am though.

OOC: No, and that's not nearly as sadistic. :)

"Barcoding is a good way to keep track of people, but reducing them to a number is somewhat immoral. As long as their individuality is kept safe and they have equal oppertunities, Green Sun has no say against TBD's action."

Obviously for people to see the thread. If you actually took the time to think you would see that there are many civil rights loving nations in NS that might read this and have mixed reactions. Some might disapprove and go as far as warn TBD or complain or say something about it. That's RPing and if it works out it could develop and turn into something on a bigger scale.
