“‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future’” (Book of Jeremiah, Jeremiah 29:11).

When Equality presents himself and his discovery before the Home of the Scholars, Collective 0-0009 had roared at Equality: we have much to say to a wretch who have broken all the laws and who boast of their infamy!
