The App

Hi, my name is Mike  -  I would like to apply to have a child …

That’s great Mike!  What’s your full name & date of birth? 

Mike Ri…

Please, look at the camera when you speak.

Sorry, Mike Rifono R-I F-O-N-O,  August 10, 1996  

Your address there Mike?

#8 Miomwurk street,  Zone 13

Oh, nice demographics!  Your’re 27, your Zone is marked Watch & Act, which is standard, so you automatically qualify to apply …   Now i’m sending you a code …

Yep, got it.

Great. Enter the code into your BioSensor device,  then hold the BioSensor  against your head between your ear & your eye

Does it matter which side?

No, it doesn’t matter.  When you press the button, you’ll hear a beep,  hold for 3 seconds, you’ll hear another longer beep - you’re done

(Beep                                  Beeeep)

Cool, let’s take a look … it’s coming up on the screen now … give me a few …hmm, ohr, your social credit’s a green-light for a start, so that’s really good … income is mid-range, no criminal record, no history of protesting, no online views contrary to Natural Order…  Your compliance levels - they’re all excellent …  

Thanks! I do try to be a good citizen …

Now, your Biosensory results  ….. Ohrr … your DNA report’s been flagged, it says: subject will … uhm …  it says you're genetically destined to become deceased, Mike - in your 50s, due to a VAA.

A VAA?

Vaccine Accumulated Allergy.  Sorry Mike, i know that’s not good news personally, going forward …

Yeah, no, I … Really?  In my 50s?  Whoa, that’s …   Can i apply for a Vax-exemption - given … you know … the medical  … uhm … prognosis …?

Technically you could - but exemptions are not easy to get - THE ORG doesn’t want to create a loop-hole for Vaccine Hesitancy  … it’s more  important than ever that we listen to THE Experts …   

Sure, but-

Then, of course, your compliance score would drop significantly, Mike

You could forget about having a child … 

(Sighs)  Is it late 50s … or …?

Sorry Mike, that’s not something i’m authorized to disclose …

I see.  Yes, you’re only doing your job, which i’m thankful for,  but i’m only 27, if i get to 57, my kid will be 30 … an adult … i can still …

I understand Mike, but it’s not me who makes the decision, i only feed it into The Algorithm.  But, really,  don’t overthink it at this point, it’s not a total disaster for your application.   It’s not ideal, but it doesn’t auto-rule you out either - your behavioural input is first-rate, … let’s wait, see what it says … I’m inputting your data now …

Ok, you’re right.  Sorry, if i sounded … questioning … I … Why worry about things you can’t control …?

Exactly Mike, i’m rooting for you… just getting your expectations aligned - i want to be truthful with you,  it could go either way …

(Mike Sighs) Sure, I understand.

Ok, here we go …  and .. you …: Passed!  

Yes!!!

You will be matched to a genetically compatible marriage Mike - congratulations!

Thank you, thank you.  Praise be to  THE Algorithm!

Now, would you be looking at a Breeder or a Neutral?
