RATS WAS PAST DESPAIR and fear. He didn’t struggle. This was going to be the end for him anyway; all he wanted to do now was to guilt Jeremy, to somehow show him that he was wrong and Rats was right. To somehow show this nice man that he was killing him.

The thought that Jeremy was killing him out of kindness was almost scarier than the same thought about the Authorities, because Jeremy had a face, was a man. Rats found himself for the first time less afraid of what would happen to him and more spiritually terrified at the state of humankind. Atrocities done for good intentions, how did you cope with that? They were walking around doing evil things and they thought they were good. He’d met hypocrites and idiots before, of course, but this was all so... so philosophical.

As in Room 3B, there was a chair with restraints in front of a monitor, with ominous technothingies hanging over it and on its sides. Rats let himself be attached without opposition, with only a shiver.

The complicated plastic harness on his head was even more complicated this time. It took minutes for Jeremy and some others to put it on. Finally, they told him to relax. A big text saying “TESTING” solidified slowly into his view. It wasn’t on the monitor but seemingly hovering in the air and move with his eyes. This, too, was familiar.

“Need some adjustments at 36 and 42,” someone said out of sight. Someone fiddled with the probes atop his skull. TESTING came up again, looking just the same in his opinion, but this time they deemed everything to be working all right.

At least the clamps on his head were comfortable. He could even move his neck a little and lean on a kind of pillow. It would still get uncomfortable, he knew this from experience, but only after several minutes.

Then he began to see auras and his head swam. He could feel his hair standing up from the electricity. It was beginning.
