| [A hooded one:]</i> "Primus, we have passed to phase V. The mind of the subjects is projected somewhere near the field of Ante Cun." [Cendor:]</i> "Well done. Everything is going according to plan"! | |
| Cendor felt so pleased with himself. | |
| It was pity that his procreator wasn't alive to witness his triumph. | |
| He strived so hard to become what he was, | |
| Primus. It wasn't easy. | |
| As Fulgor, he had no chance to gain the trust of the others and become what he was now, a publicity approved figure. | |
| His family name was echoing tragedy, so he had to change it. | |
| His inheritance was a heavy burden in many ways... | |
| Aline Fulgor was also a scientist. | |
| She spent her life trying to restore the ecological balance of | |
| Ahrem. But instead of gratitude all she gained was disgrace. | |
| The after-effects of her intelligent genetic parasites, the | |
| Thermo-devourers, were frightening indeed. | |
| Fortunately they could not interbreed, as they were programmed to spread only inside the range of a selecetd target. | |
| Of course, when the accident happened, nobody menthioned that. | |
| All were so panicked with what happened to | |
| Ambere "The Frozen city". | |
| Aline Fulgor was there, trapped in her lab with her biological creations. | |
| And she died. | |
| But first, she had to watch her destiny for hundreds times, unfolding in front of her in the optic sensors of her trapped colleagues. | |
| And she waited for her turn to fall down the floor, trembling from the sudden loss of body heat. | |
| Until her parts stopped all violent movements and her body remained still, captivated in its final pose. |
