They were the Unfrozen, expendable throwaways, but as fate would have it, they managed to outlive those who "owned" them. One by one, they ventured forth and disappeared. The existence of false identities was a threat to the entire System. Only one of the Unfrozen continued to forge the path he'd originally set out on, flying in the face of common sense and in complete disregard for playing it safe.
