We found mention of it in the last batch of hidden files before we shut down our operation. We don't know why He's doing it, but we think you may have a control—an implant of a special chip or something. It could be as simple as a communication or location device, or a way Makr has of controlling your behavior that's with you always."

"Either way, that makes me a threat to you."

"I'm afraid so. We do know that your mind, as fine as it is, has been tampered with."

"But how?"

"One of the people you met during your first visit here is a Bio psychologist, an emotive like Donna, who evaluated you as we do all newcomers."

"Another emotive?"

"I'm still not sure how they do it. An emotive seems to read minds, sense motives and secrets. We use them to root out Makr secret agents and what have you."

Harry sits there a moment, staring front, dazed, and silent. "Donna?"

"Donna didn't give us that information, but she vouched for you. Said you had tremendous talents that would still be useful. But you really don't know any of the rest of this, do you?"

Harry shook his head.

"I'm glad. That means you're not a willing participant in Makr's plan."

"Is that what you think I am? A spy?"

"To be honest, it had occurred to us. A traitor. Who better than someone prophesied to have a profound influence on us?"

"Prophesied? By whom?" That was the second time he had heard that, or was it more?

"An Evangel. Ever hear of them?"

"Desiree mentioned them on the way over here. One of the Bio splinter groups. Worship Makr and PerSoc completely or something like that."

"Exactly like that. You are almost one yourself by definition, aren't you?"

"Until recently, I didn't know anything else."

"But you do. How? Why are you so different from the others?"

"I wish I knew," said Harry dejectedly.

 Harry sits there a moment, staring battlefront, dazed, and silent. " Donna? " 

 " Donna didn't grant us that data, but she vouch for you. Said you had frightful talents that would still be useful. But you really don't acknowledge any of the rest of this, do you? " 

 Harry shook his head. 

 " I'm glad. That means you're not a uncoerced participant in Makr's plan. " 

 " Is that what you think I am? A spy? "
