The Heretic Lives
You cannot murder a person who never existed.
It is not impossible to rewrite history. In fact, when one computer runs the world, changing history happens faster.

Humanity first. Truth! Those with power are Tainted. Truth! The Tainted prove Loyalty by working for the Regime. Truth! Tainted who hide power seek to harm Humanity. Truth! Hail, Victory! Hail, Humanity!
Except not everyone follows the truth.
