dreams, Michael had pretended to be me, communicating with guardians around the world that were collecting vessels to be implanted.
    Why are average humans being implanted?
    As I scanned the document further, I read that Ezra and Jesca had disappeared.
    Why are they significant?
    I skimmed over the minutes for November 23, 2011. Worldwide, human specimens had been abducted and implanted at a faster rate. They had not been willing participants, which was against what I had always practiced. They had been taken against their will.
    Why?
    December 20, 2011, minutes showed more details of how these abducted human specimens had been reacting to the implant. At first, their bodies had been fine with the higher levels of copper, titanium, and sulfur introduced into their bodies. Suddenly, strange psychological symptoms of catatonia, hostility, hallucinations, and schizophrenia had become prominent in the specimens. Medical departments had opened globally, employing Sondian medical staff to contain these specimens. Some of the locations were Kyoto University in Japan, Australian National University, MIT, University of Cambridge, and Florida State University.
    I noticed Ezra Kahn, Jesca Gershon-Sera, and Nathaniel Sera had infiltrated a specimen collection cell headed by Samson Crest in Miami, Florida.
    I remembered taking Sam under my wings when he was young. What sickened me the most was that Sam thought I was giving him these horrific directives when it was Michael Sanderson all along.
    I read on. The minutes said that Sam had captured Corinna Cain, and she had been scheduled for re-implantation.
    I thought, Cain. I know that name. Maybe a relation to Felix Cain?
    I remembered a physicist named Felix Cain visiting my father frequently when I was young.
    I quickly flipped to the next page to see when this re-implantation had been scheduled. If I could do anything to stop it, I would.
    December 30, 2011—that was today. I quickly skimmed. Apparently, the altered Copula had been adjusted, and throughout the medical department locations at the designated universities, the specimens had been showing significant mental improvement and optimum physical abilities. But, an unknown external force had interrupted the promising specimen results, bringing on bouts of psychosis during weekly evaluations.
    The minutes said that David Patel had a team trying to identify the source of this external force. The team suggested the external force had appeared to be coming from the Andromeda galaxy.
    I scrolled down, noting the ongoing surveillance of Jesca Gershon-Sera, Nathaniel Sera, and Ezra Kahn in Miami, Florida. I saw another name.
    Attempt to contact Alexander Crest.
    It showed that Sam would be relocated to a safe house in Tokyo, Japan, where he would train Corinna Cain after re-implantation.
    Damn it! When is the re-implantation?
    Midway down the page, I read:
    Experimental removal of Dobrian Copula and re-implantation of altered Sondian Copula to be performed 12/30/2011. Today.
    I stood from the conference table, quickly heading to the door. I threw it open, rushing out of the room. As I rounded the corner, I ran head on into Jim Graffton.
    Jim was jolted backward at the force of me coming at him. He steadied himself, grabbing hold of me before he could move farther.
    Jim’s voice is urgent, “Balthazar, wait! Where are you going?”
    I’m sure my eyes were red with anger as I tried to escape Jim’s death grip. “Let me go, Jim!”
    Jim tried to pull me to the ground. I elbowed him and threw him against the wall. I took off in a dead run, heading straight for the operating rooms.
    I heard Jim yell from behind me, obviously realizing what I had found. “Shit!” I turned briefly and saw him coming my way.
    I pushed through the double doors of the viewing room first. Immediately, I was greeted by two large men blocking the entrance to the operating room. I tried to push through them. I saw a young girl kneeling and bent face down on a
