want to start crushing people, either, though
with no gravity, they would be weightless. If that were the case,
then maybe she could get thousands of layers of humans to cling to
the statue until they brought the Statue of Liberty to the ground,
and those people would be saved.
    Carly turned to see Linus and Henry coming out the front
door. They must have completed their tasks and wondered what she
was up to. She didn’t want them wasting any time with
her , so she signaled them to
continue on with the mission of making the artificial-magnetic-pole
field. They nodded to her and waved, and she watched as they
entered the house once again.
    Carly h eld David
tighter to her body and started to make her way over to the people
who were floating around in the air. When she got close enough to
them, she explained to them her idea about the human chain and
assured them that it could be their only chance of survival. She
also told them to pass the word along to the people around them so
that the human chain could begin to unfold. The closer people came
to her, the easier it was to explain the idea and to pass word
around quicker.
    Carly knew she needed to get the word out
everywhere , not just to the
people closest to her. They needed to know what was going to happen
to give them the opportunity to save themselves. She wasn’t sure
how to do that, however, and as she watched people collect
together, she mulled over some ideas. There was no network she
could use to communicate with the rest of the world. Then a thought
crossed her mind, and she looked down at David with a
smile.
    David had a DNA chip in his brain. The best part of the
invention was that anyone with a chip could talk to anyone else and
pass along information just by thinking about it. The DNA chip that
was inside of David was capable of communicating with others in
different parts of the world. She couldn’t believe she hadn’t thought of it before. If one
person knew something, then so did everyone else with a chip. She
had always thought that the parents of these children had agreed to
put that type of technology in their kids so that their kids could
win every competition and pass every test they had to
take.
    David was so young
that she wasn’t sure if he would be able to pass along her plan for
her. She had to try, however. Maybe the information would get
through, after all. She held David nice and close to her and put
her mouth up against his ear. She continued to repeat her idea over
and over again, hoping it would ingrain in his brain and go out
automatically. She only could hope that the DNA chip could
communicate with the different children of the world, who could
then pass along the information needed to save people. She hoped
that the kids would pass along the idea to their parents or elders
and then hopefully to the rest of the world, to all the floating
people who were looking for help in this crisis. Her biggest hope
was that they could at least save some of the people. She couldn’t
say for sure, but there was a chance that a lot of people had
already floated off into outer space.
    After she finished whispering in David’s ear and hopefully
passing along the plan , she
started to help the people make the human chains. Right before her
eyes, she saw people begin to float to the Statue of Liberty and
start to hug it. It was a sight to be seen, how people collected
together for one common goal. One by one, they started hugging the
statue, and when the layers started to form, they began to attract
other people. It wasn’t long before they were joining the human
chain as well. Layer after layer wrapped itself around the statue,
creating magic right before Carly’s eyes. She beamed with pride as
she saw all the people working together.
    Meanwhile , Linus had
created the artificial magnetic field that they needed for their
mission.
    After failing more than three times,
Linus had finally found a solution.
    “ OK , Henry, I am going
to launch the
