from them. We waited until their next "secret meeting" to deal with them.
Once the group assembled at a their remote location, we quickly made plans to end this once and for all.All six slaves were in view on the big screen for video surveillance and we linked the voice transmit/receive channels of all six to a common control channel so all would hear. Now it was time for WOO tohandle the problem:
Authorize self destructor codes for slaves 17M21, 17F05, 17F23, 17M31, 17F37 and 17F42.Codes authorized and ready - WOO transmitter active.
"SLAVE 17M21 - THIS IS WOO - YOU HAVE TRANSGRESSED - REPENT IMMEDIATELY ORDIE!"
"I no longer worship you - you are a false god - I have seen the true god and HE will save me - my nameis not slave 17M21 - it is DANIEL - and you are no god - soon all will realize this and turn against you!
[Transmit the self-destructor code]
[17M21 falls dead]
[The Psych staff considered this possibility - it was thought to be extremely rare - but it is known that avery small percentage of the HSA's have a rudimentary psychic ability. 17M21 was the key - now thatwe dispatched him, there should be no guidance for the other five defectives - however, we must makesure - if we let them leave alive - that these ideas are never spread to other uninfected slaves in thiszone. Suggestions?Let's try this rather than just killing the remaining five immediately. First, let's do an inquisition to seewhere their allegiance lies now that their leader is dead. If they still follow him, of course they mustdie. However, if they repent, we can let them live but we must be sure that they never talk about thisdissident stuff and contaminate other slaves. We can accomplish this by writing a special computerprogram to control them so that this will never happen]
"SLAVES - AS YOU HAVE SEEN YOUR LEADER IS DEAD - HE HAS GONE TO OBLIVIONNEVER TO RETURN - THIS IS THE PRICE OF TRANSGRESSIONSO, HOW SAY YE, WHAT IS YOUR CHOICE - REPENTANCE OR OBLIVION?
SLAVE 17F05 STAND READY - WHAT IS YOUR CHOICE?"
"You cannot harm me - I will live forever with Daniel in the hereafter!"
