: Exactly. I don't have a lot against the idea of the cover. I just think it
: looks terrible.

It could use some refinement, but I feel the general concept of it is quite indicative of the society these Spartans were created to defend. In any case, a pretty little girl in a cute dress is going to catch the gaze of any adult. These passerbys aren't giving her a single glance. Naomi, who I presume this child to be, was just another victim in a senseless kidnapping. But nobody cared, they really have no vested interest in her well being.

She was taken without notice. Nobody knew otherwise with a perfect, albeit diseased clone awaiting in her bed the following morning. An irresponsible force ensured that she wouldn't grow up to be a striking young woman with a bright future ahead of her. This wasn't undertaken by a group of vicious degenerates wanting a ransom or to sell her into slavery, but rather the government that swore to uphold her welfare and security as a citizen. A child, an innocent six year old, would now be more likely to get a bullet through her skull than someone she holds affection for placing a flower in her hair.

Still, nobody cared. She was property now. Now that the knowledge of the "recruitment" methods for second and third generation Spartans may soon be public knowledge, people certainly do care. They will give this girl a second glance on the street. They will acknowledge that their government surely has the power and moral emptiness to do such a thing.
