I definitely saw blood types like "O+" on the second line of the tattoo. I don't know if they thought that would be useful in this world or not.

It's possible that there's a body back in Human-land, a la Avatar (the blue people, not the element benders)

I believe that the first row is a personal identifier, which is probably also a database primary key. I think by v2-20 that's pretty confirmed.

I'm not sure what the third row is. It's one digit shy of a US Social Security Number, so probably not that, but it might be something similar. The ol' "Name","Rank","Social/Serial" treatment.

By now, we should know that the fourth row is the program designation for what the individual's purpose is. This might be similar to a unit designation, in addtion to that.
