9. Hivemind

towards me, walking fast, so I ran like health. Then looking back over my shoulder, I saw him getting into the driver the scene of his grave fan, the Gray Fan. I was running fast down a narrow lane. Looking back over my shoulder, I see if he was coming, and sure enough he was bearing down on me. Dah. That's when I crashed, ran straight into a trash canel and then they flipped over him. She could I kept moving. I scampered back. Then I quickly crawled into the fence

line parking lot on my left. I stayed low and moved between the cars. M Then I slipped underneath one of the cars to hide. M H. The true still pulled up in front of the parking lot and stepped out of the grave van. He left the engine running. Then he moved through the parking lot looking for me, hunting me. I thought you were gonna give me a generous judgement, Jack Block. He's black boot scraping on the pavement as he came closer and closer. How was that

class action super working out for you? I held my breakfast. He moved past me. I thought that American accent was a little funny clever. I'll give you that, and I made a break for it. I slipped out from under the car on the other side and crawled along the fence line back to the opposite side of the car or, staying low and an out of sight. I waited until he had his back turned, and then I made a break for the great van. L I gandhi, And this

time I didn't look back. Jack. The speed limit on Archadia Boulevard is thirty five miles per hour, not seventy five miles. Jenner, shut up, Christ, Chriss Christ, Finn, of course, Finn Carley Fink Corley is dead Puss. Christ pushed from the rooftop of his building. But fuck but David Truesdale, Jann I said, course for next corpse, for next cour Finn said he designed a kill switching secret and antido to deactivate in the night and turn off the my DAP.

He attested it on the batch of stronger rats in his lap, but he didn't know if it worked or not. I had to get the next corp to see if it worked. Then he's killed. Switch was my only hope, Jenna, How long do we get there in that hell? Jenna dour Agent Batti dialing, all right, pick up, pick up, pick cover every inch to special ship. It's been administration. Don't forget to leave your number of books. Beatty, is Jack? That I need to talk to you is about Finn Connley,

Finn Connie. He's about to blow the whistle on next corp, on Max Feller and shut at the whole thing. But now he's okay. He's there too. Now, please, I need you to call me as soon as possible. We don't have much time. Jack, this sounds urgent. Do you want me to market as urgent? So that would be great? Message? Sent ship ship ship incoming call from Agent Batting Ratty. It's Jack. They got to him, they got to feed and now they're off to me, Jack, I'm glad you're called.

Are you okay, kid? Jack? Who is this? Oh? We're just glad you're alive? Now? When can you get here? Where is Agent Batty? That's an important Jack? What is important is that you are saved. Now. We need you to come on in. I only want to talk to Agent Batty. Jack. We need your help and frankly, you need or just tell us where you are. What happened to Betty? He's out, he's out, correct, act baby is no longer with the agency. But that's not what matters.

No longer with the agency. Correct. Look, he briefed us on everything, Jack, Yes, he briefed me on everything. And I need you to come in immediately so I can help you. Do you understand? Home ended January. This is Dr Cassandra Berkeley, Case member one zero to one test subject Max Fuller. Today we are doing three exposures pr F for one second each, eyes forward, deep grab Uh, he's here. Are you ready? You think your uncle comes? Sir?

He doesn't have a choice and why is that. Let's just say that offering hard candied a little girls on snapchat is not a good look if you want to get re elected. Nice. I will get him. Come in, Matt, this is Senator Robert Berkeley. Senator Robert Berkeley, and I used to be uncle Baba to you. That's what she used to call me when she was a little girl. She couldn't say Uncle Robert, so I became uncle Baba and Uncle Robert. This is pleasures all mine, Senator, thank

you for your time. Well, Cassie has spoken very highly of you. Besides, I knew your father, Walter and I were on a Congressional committee Wants at least a decade ago. He was a great man. You've got some big shoes to fill. Indeed, cass here has spoken very highly of you as well, Sir, you're her favorite uncle, you know. Oh really, she is special. Let's get right to it, shall we, Yes, let's we know your time is very precious.

I'm sure Cassie told you that I have a hand in multiple intelligence committees and government agencies, including the Advanced Defense Research Initiative Agency. And Cassie tells me you have something my associates might be interested in. What have you got? What we have engineered here at next CORP is more than just an application to eliminate human vulnerabilities. Like sleep

and fear memory loss. We've discovered a way to use the same technology to evolve humans beyond language speak English. What the hell are we talking about here? We're talking about an application that will give soldiers in the battlefield a tactical advantage. That's right, Senator. Imagine if you would our soldiers in combat, all silently communicating to each other, all wired into each other's thoughts like a pack of wolves, an elite combat unit operating with what we call a

hive mind. Hive mind, I'm not sure. I followed a new class of super soldiers. Where are you with this project? Now? Final phase? Our first human trial group, civilians mind, you tested higher than active duty marines on everything a pattern recognition, complex problem solving, completion time, reaction time memory. And that was after a week without any sleep. These aren't ordinary stems. This is revolutionary. How soon could we test this ourselves? Theoretically?

Theoretically now, sir? Unfortunately we're a lockdown at the moment. And why is that? The h e A. As a matter of fact, apparently they have wide reaching authority. Yeah, I know, I helped create the damned agency. Who exactly are you dealing with? Over there agent betting he's the Jesus. Yeah, I know, Patty. Look, the h A has to have enforcement privileges of the whole outfit would look bogus. But let's just say that's not why they exist. And don't

worry about Beatty. He isn't going to be a problem. When can we get eyes on your prototype of demo for my people in Arlington? We're ready right now, sir, perfect next week. And who else are you talking to about this full transparency? Senator? I already have a few offers on my desk. Who when lay Jurker incorporated? All right, Look, if my guys can verify your claims about shut Up, they will outpid the Chinese ten times over. Hell, they'll

buy you out just to keep this technology in our hands. Excellent. Wow, you really do remind me of your father Max. Thank you, senator, and thanks for getting behind this. And I'm always inclined to help Cassie anyway I can. I appreciate your cooperation, Uncle Baba h I dished a great van in an alley. What a late message? Yeah? Is anyone else here? There's been a lot of people going and coming back, but I guess you're still here, looks like the wholes were empty,

the officers were decimated, personal belongings were taken away. It was on a settin it. I made a bee line toward the lap first. Yeah, sure enough. There's a series of cages, each inhabited by four rats, all of which ye sleeping peacefully. Thank God who works. Finn's door is blessedly unlocked, and stepping in is surreal. Finn colony made things here. He helped change the course of science. No more, nothing new will come out of this place after I

leave it. It's no longer a workplace now, it's more like a museum or a hum Jesus check. Can you'll sit together? Come on? Come on. My hands were shaken as I rummaged through Finn's desk looking for the kill switch, the antidote, and I heard someone coming ship. Yeah, they You are standing in the dark at Finn's desk. Why she's looking for you? Spec Key's why she said you needed then I doubt that very much, said I have to go. Where's my mother's she's taking the tons of

I'm sorry to hear that. It was inevitable. So she's been going downhill for a long time. Yeah, that's tough he has been. She was brilliant. She still is, at least she's seen that way. We didn't talk particle physics or anything, but she seemed pretty on the ball. He spoken to her. Why don't you sit down Jack first?

Smart guy? Jack, you've sure are dumb. Did you really think we don't vet our employees that the day you walk through the door, we didn't have someone immediately sifting through your entire life that we wouldn't connect you to your brother? Michael Corbin was his name. When did you know? Next knew the day he walked in the door. So why did you hire me? I thought it was the dumbest idea in the world. But Max, well he's a visionary. He thought you would come in handy, and he was right.

You really have been handy. What do you mean by that cleaning up Max's messes? Well? Are you saying right now? Abby? For instance? And now, Finn, let me show you something I think you'll like it. Just push play. That's finish placing. Yes, do you recognize the man come out of that lobby? It's me? It is I know what you're insinuating, and this is ridiculous. The video will show other people going

up and down, so there's no proof. Unfortunately, the person who sent me this said the rest of the video was somehow lost Christian true Stale. That's right, you've met now he is handy. Excuse me, Jack, Hello, that's Web. Is he in the building now? Yes, he's still here. Did you make contact? I'm with him now. Actually know who's that? Just keep it in there? Who are you talking to? Just a sad guy. I'm talking to Rainy Webb,

agent Batty's replacement. She's the new head of the A g A. I called her when I saw you on the monitors breaking into Finn's lab erratically. What's that, Rainy? Is he calm? More combatic? Just a sec I'll ask him, how are you feeling, Jack, Rainy, he's not answering. Just keep him there, don't worry, he's not going anywhere. Ten minutes okay, perfect, We'll see you then. You've always been pretty resourceful, amant. I told you Jack, we all have

different versions of ourselves inside. Take Max. Now there's a guy who had a monster locked inside, a real nasty guy named Benjamin. Turns out shut I was the key I needed to unlock him. When I hit before they get here. You don't look so good. You've been putting the strings this whole time. Max Truths Dale, my brother and you too, Jack? You too? Oh? How are you gonna do? Jack? Are you gonna get rough with me? Are you going to let the real Jack come out

to play? No? I didn't think so, because you're weak? You what could? You're a fucking psychopath? Goodbye. I wouldn't try to leave if I were you. I'll try to stop me. Fine. Yeah, how about what is that that sounds? That's fifty hurts. It's a way to manually log into your brain. Yeah, it's just a little project we've been working on. It's called hive mind Stop. We realized that

shout I had more uses than one. Turns out that swarm of tiny robots in your head can not only talk to each other, they can talk to us too, and take remote commands like this. M h feeling better now? Well you should. I made your brain release a healthy dose of endorphins. I can make you feel better though, Jack, Uh huh. I just spike your dobamine with a pinch of oxytoca, just to make you like me again. Once

I'm logged into someone's head. I can just dial their emotions up or down with this nifty hive mind app right here on my phone. Think of what this will do for the military. Not to mention and the Sex and District. A prototype has been in film, Matt, and

we needed to test it, and that's where you came in. Jack.
