Episode 9
*meanwhile, the Mole, bk in his disguise as a rookie servant, went to chk on Oz, who was in bed sleeping naked with the naked Gunther in his arms*
8none of the other servants were about8
Mole: *pretended to clean the room as he came close to him, to chk see if there was anything he could find to figure out the brainwash problem*
8nothing could be seen8
Mole: *turned Oz's head a little n saw tht the bk of Oz's neck was a patch like thing, n it was transluscent which revealed certain complicated wirings*
Gunther: *starts to stir* Mmm...Momma...
Ozzie: *instinctively stuck his hand out to hug Gunther closer to calm him*
Mole: *quickly snuck out of the room before he was discovered*
Alexis; 8kicked at the dirt while pacing8
Mole: *made contact on the two-way communicator* Can anyone hear me?
Antonio; Si
Mole: Hey, I just found out abt Jones' problem
Antonio; And/
Mole: *told him abt the device he saw at the bk of Oz's neck* I think tht's the reason for the brainwashing
Antonio; Could be
Mole: Anyway, removing it by force might be risky, so I wont attempt to touch it first, bt I will try to hack into the main controlling system of tht gadget n see wht can I do. How r u guys all holding up?
Antonio; Trying our best
Mole: I'm trying my best here as well, at the same time trying not to get caught

Leah; 8sighed8

Sakura; 8seemed to be in a daze8
Spryman: *cradled her close*
8everyone looked out8

8no one rarely made a sound8
*the hormones were also listening to the broadcast n those who were adrenaline junkies were laughing n cheering, shouting "About time!"*
Leah; Shut Up!
* one of the hormones heard her n picked up a bottle n threw it at the window*
Drix: Hey!! I'll show wht u get for hurting my wife *aimed his cannon at him bt couldnt shoot anything* Dammit, they deactivated my cannon
Alexis; 8growled and hissed8
Morty: *still cradled Julius close*
Julius; 8was out cold8
Ozzie: *came in bringing food as usual*
8they looked up at him8
Ozzie: *slipped the food in n stared at them quietly*
8none made eye contact8
Ozzie: Target announcement. Public execution. Elimination time T-minus 24 hours
Alexis; 8snarled8
Ozzie: *turns to see Thrax*
Thrax; 8was completely comatosis8
Ozzie: *for a split second, something seemed to short-circuit as the cell went to his knees, going towards Thrax's direction n banged at the wall, tears falling, bt his face was still blank*
Antonio; 8looked over8
Ozzie: *continues to bang the wall at Thrax's direction, tears continue to fall, tho his face was still in a blank state, as if trying to wake him*
Antonio; 8cocked a brow8
Mole: *called in* Yo, anybody there? Do u read me?
Antonio; Si
Mole: Hey, tell me wht is Jones doing right now?
Antonio; Strangely enough, crying
Mole: Wht else is he doing?
Antonio; 8pointed the mic in ozzy's direction8
Ozzie: *still slamming the wall, slowly his face was showing emotions little by little, tears pouring like rain, until he was literally screaming* THRAX!!! THRAX!!! BABY, IT"S ME!!! THRAX, WAKE UP!!!
Mole: Yes! I almost got it!
Antonio; What?
Mole: I am trying to deactivate the machine on his neck. Make him come out more. The system is an AI, n a little fickle to begin with, bt as time goes by, the AI learns to detect any signs of the real Oz trying to come out n shut him out. I'm trying to deactivate the system
Ozzie: *still screaming, banging agaisnt the wall*
Spryman: Momma? Momma, is tht u? Momma!!
Leah; Paul keep back
Mole: Almost there...Almost there...Ah, crap!
Ozzie: *almost immediately, he stopped screaming n banging, his face bk in a blank state again, then slowly got up n left quietly, like as if it nvr happened*
Antonio; What the hell/
Mole: Agh, the AI shut me out. It discovered my intrusion n override my system. I lost the real Oz again
Antonio; 8punched the wall8
Mole: Sorry, Perez. I'll keep trying. U guys just hang tight, OK?
Antonio; Time's running out
Mole: I knw, I'll be on in ASAP
Antonio; 8nodded8
Mole: Right. I'll get in touch ASAP. Ovr n out
Antonio; 8closed the link8
Ricardo: He was there. Oz was almost there. Wht happened?
Antonio; The damn thing found Mole
Ricardo: Wht thing? I dont get it
Antonio; 8explained8
Ricardo: Oh no...This is reli tough...
Antonio; 8nods8
Ricardo: Since wen has he evr had tht sort of technology?
Antonio; Who knows
Drix: I do. I designed tht AI
Antonio; What?
Drix: I designed tht AI. It was actually meant to be a sort of behavioural control for the hormones. Aftr the incident with the hormones to Jared, I made a vow to make the hormones at least a bit safer wen they r released. Jared and I, before he changed to ELektra, came up with the idea to create this AI to detect any form of overboard violence n subdue it. I was abt to let Paul knw abt my creation, wen this incident happened. Wen it got worse, I had to abandon the project to save my family. He must've gotten a hold of him, tht Gunther, n modified it
Antonio; Figures
Drix: If I knew this would actually do this to Oz, I would nvr hv created it...
Leah; How vere jou suppose to know Drix
Drix: *sighed* N now my creation has turned Oz into a brainwashed robot
Leah; 8nuzzled him8
Drix: *hugged her bk* I feel so terrible, tht I'm responsible for turning Oz...into a mindless machines. Wht if this is also wht would happen to the hormones? I might cause more damage for Hector, stunt his growth, evn
Leah; 8gently nudged him8
Drix: *bit his lip*
8the group sat in silence8
