Encoder 1000000

A machine that atomizes your body and stores your conscious mind on its hard drive. Once you're a program, the machine is able to print you on anything as a QR code. The prisoners senses remain in tact, they are fully aware of everything once they are encoded. The machine copies your engrams, its like your mind was transplanted into an inanimate object. Once digitized and printed as a code, the prisoner experiences life as if they were a face attached to whatever inanimate object houses their QR code.

Once someone is imprisoned in a digital state, the machine can print them on any inanimate object. The social preference is to print prisoners on humiliating objects, such as: toilets, underwear, diapers, seat cushions, socks, public seating, etc. Anything smelly and gross is a viable candidate for a digital prisoner.

Some digital prisoners have their QR code printed on another human being as a tattoo. The big fad right now is having a prisoner tattooed on your butt. This is even more normal for animals. Zoos and farms get a tax refund for housing prisoners within the butt cheeks of their animals. Some larger men an animals have become 'wardens' their big, beefy butts housing dozens of criminal QR codes. It's perfectly normal to ask someone to scan their butt, it's seen as humorous.

These codes resemble the trapped individuals face and can be scanned to interact with the trapped subject on a phone app. People mock and tease those imprisoned, scanning any code they can find for a quick laugh. There is a website that allows anyone to tune into any QR code around the world and watch the prisoner suffer. There's even a TV channel that plays encoded prisoners 24/7.

Once you are a encoded and printed, there is typically no escape. Even if the object your attached to is destroyed or the person your printed on dies, the machine will reprint a new copy of your mind. The machine itself does not speak. It is quick, efficient, and concise, consuming human beings and laser printing their codes anywhere. People lose all freedom as QR codes, never allowed appeal or parol. They are trapped somewhere foul, smelly, pungent, stinky, or gross forever. This is considered a horrible fate, people are the mercy of their captors for life.

Appearance: A long tubular machine, not unlike an MRI. You are strapped down at one end, knowing full well you won't come out the other end. Not the same anyways. The scanning pad on the otherside of this machine will deposit your new encoded form upon some unsavory surface.

You are strapped on a sliding gurney, the machine thrumming overhead. The conveyor begins moving and you're soon bathed in laser light. It's happening, you're going to be digitally imprisoned.
