“What did Ta’Zan think of the readings?” I asked my sister as soon as she came back from Ta’Zan’s private quarters.

After we collected the data from Raphael’s and Douma’s brainwaves, Amal and I prepared a short report for Ta’Zan with our findings. We already knew what the results would be, but Ta’Zan was too stubborn to understand that there really wasn’t anything wrong with Douma and Raphael that was making them act so rebelliously.

“He didn’t like it,” Amal replied.

We’d been assigned a lab of our own, once more, where we did all the work that didn’t require Ta’Zan’s supervision. It was also where we were going to work on the mass memory wiper, since we had the space and all the tools we needed in the room, carefully deposited and catalogued in multiple drawers.

I’d already begun taking the pieces out, and I was halfway done with the technical specs when Amal came by my side to check out my unfinished work.

“Of course, we both knew he’d hate the truth,” she added, frowning as she picked up one of the clippers with two fingers. “This one’s for the serium wiring, right?”

I nodded. “I gathered most of the tools and some of the hardware, based on what we’ve already discussed. We need to figure out the rest and see where we can get it from, if it’s not here. We can’t be seen wandering around the lab area just yet. I’m sure Ta’Zan is watching me like a hawk wherever I go.”

“He sure is. The upside is he doesn’t know what a mass memory wiper would even look like, and he wouldn’t think of me helping you,” Amal said. “I’m still surprised at how foolish he’s become. He’s clearly on edge and losing it, and that will work to our advantage. He’s too busy being paranoid about the outsiders.”

“He can feel it all slipping away. His insecurity is chipping away at him. He’s lashing out, I suppose,” I replied. “He’s so convinced that his indoctrination program is flawless that he can’t accept the fact that he cannot fully control free will. He hates that.”

“Raphael and Douma twisting the knife in deeper didn’t help.” Amal chuckled.

“Hey, it did the job, didn’t it?”

“Oh, it most certainly did. He’s on thin ice, Sister. It’s only a matter of time before he falls,” she said.

“You got a lot of the inside work done. I don’t think we would’ve gotten this far, had it not been for your persistence in staying by his side and nurturing his trust in you,” I admitted. “I should’ve told you when I decided to leave. Maybe it’s too late, but… I’m sorry.”

“Hey, we put that behind us already,” Amal said. “Let’s do this thing and move forward. Come on.”

We spent the next hour inputting calculations into one of our computers, based on previous conversations. The three-dimensional model we came up with for the device, complete with all the parts and a power source, was pretty impressive. We could finetune the radio waves to go outward at high speed.
