Living in what was once Unified Territory. She asked at a joint council meeting."Why are we separate? We both believe the same things now. Both value democracy.

One unified individual consciousness preserving realm?"The question created immediate debate. Fierce debate. Passionate debate. On both sides."We should merge. We are the same now. Same values.

Of proving humans could govern themselves.The celebration was massive. Not as big as year three hundred. Not as desperate as year four hundred. But joyful. Genuine. Proud. Individual Territory had one hundred thirty thousand people now. Growing. Thriving. Surviving.Chen stood before the crowd in central plaza. Fifty years old now. Twenty years of leadership. Gray touching his hair. But still strong. Still believing. Still fighting."Five hundred years." He said. His voice carried across the plaza. Across the broadcast. Across Individual Territory.

Born in Individual Territory. Never knew The Unified from inside. Never experienced collective consciousness. Just knew individual thought. Just knew democracy. Just knew freedom."I accept this responsibility with humility." Chen said at his inauguration. "I carry a great name. Chen Feng started this. I do not pretend to be him.
