I raised my hand. "Mr. Davis, I can't access the National Archives."

The red "Access Denied" page was just a simple HTML file. But buried in its code, I saw it: an iframe trying to pull the real content from the blocked website before Mr. Henderson's server intercepted it. The iframe was empty, but its source URL was still there, unblocked and raw.

And there it was. The National Archives. No images, just raw, ugly HTML text, but every word was readable.

That afternoon, I decided. I wasn't going to hack the Pentagon. I just wanted to read a primary source document. And so began my quiet rebellion.
