Marcus was a hero in this chapter, because he provided these innocent teens with a way to privately communicate, as well as because he stood up for his rights. It takes a strong man to submit to live, even in the violation of his belief's, but an even stronger man to stand up for his belief's.

On page 180 Marcus says(quoting the U.S.A Declaration of Independence), "...whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it...," which explains Marcus's belief that the DHS is intruding in the lives of many Americans, and that he will not stop until it is "altered" or "abolished."

On page 164 Jolu says, "This is how we know which side your on," which brings about the idea, and possibly foreshadows, that not all of them might be on the side of Marcus. Some might be informants working for the DHS, or willing to co-operate in order for some reward.

Charles, who for those who don't know, is a bully, and a snitch.  But, in this chapter, he also turns out to be a supporter of the DHS during the debate when he defends the DHS, and attacks Hippies, as well as Civil Rights Activists.

Marcus meets a cool girl in this chapter named Ange. Marcus, after there is the key exchange, starts to see her beauty, and almost kisses her. It was truly love at first sight. Ange will prove to be "the woman behind the man."

Jolu, as he is commonly called, is a tech genius. He was a part of Marcus's Harajuku Fun Madness team, before the game disbanded. In this chapter he helps Marcus to organize the Xnetters, and really causes Marcus to believe that the DHS uses racial profiling when obtaining targets.

Marcus is very vengeful in this chapter, and experiences a turning point where he realizes it's about more than just him. He understands that his personal struggle to find Darryl is only part of the bigger plan to defeat the DHS.However, even though both Jolu and Van had left the side of fighting with Marcus, he realizes they still wanted him to succeed, and would be there if he ever truly needed them.  Marcus will stop at nothing to undermine the DHS, restore truth and justice, and find his best friend.

(Beginning)Marcus and Jolu are addressing the Xnetters about their plan to exchange their private keys, after Jolu told Marcus he was not going to fight anymore. Marcus gives the heart-wrenching story of what happened to him and his friends the day the bridge was blown up, and dedicates his life to fighting the DHS. It was relieving for Marcus to tell the others about his experience, and about how kids should not be punished for what the terrorists did.(Middle) Marcus meets, and hits it off, with a very important character named Ange, who exchanges her private key with Marcus. Marcus, after exchanging his private key, destroys the computer to get rid of the evidence, and then takes a walk with Ange. After they had all left the beach and gotten home, Ange begins to IM Marcus, and Marcus develops an attraction to her.(End) This is where the "Don't Trust Anyone Over 25" slogan, is really recognized by Marcus, who realizes it's in merchandise and stores all across the city. In Ms. Galvez's class, there is a discussion relating to the civil rights movement of the 1960's. There is a large debate which is in a lot of ways, Charles representing the DHS's point-of-view, and Marcus representing the protesters point-of-view, in the proxy form of debating the 1960's.  Marcus brings up the important conviction that if the government is here to be for the people, and if that principle is being obstructed, then the people can change or eliminate it.
