After that, we were more cautious and more stealthy. Brennan was next and we didn't know what to do. We don't know much about him except the fact he was a thief. So we decided to spy on him for a while. I spied on him while Sam was taking notes. Even then we didn't learn much. But a little information was enough. Brennan always trains with the robots at the dojo whenever he has free time and that is when we will strike. Brennan is very proud of his abities and humiliating him would be simple and a great prank.
That afternoon, Brennan, as usual, was training and we waited until he was done. Once he left, we made sure no one was at the dojo and I stood by the door watching for anyone. Sam went in and made some adjustments. She made a remote control that controlled the robots' level. Brennan trains by fighting these robots and we planned to sabotage his training and have the robots whip him.
On the next day, as we had predicted, Brennan was training. We stayed in the air. Sam had made a ice platform connecting to the the second floor taking us into the middle of the air. From there, we had an excellent view of Brennan and was able to control the robots.
As usual, Brennan set it at easy. He like working from the bottom up. Slowly, Sam increased the robots' fighting level. Brennan didn't seem to notice. We increased the level more rapidly. Brennan still didn't notice.
We increased to a level higher than what Brennan fights at. Brennan thought they were getting stronger and he liked it. The more he fought, the harder they got. Finally, the robots overwhelmed him. Like we predicted, he tried to call for help. Sam had disabled his com-link ring so he had no help. He tried to fight them but they were too powerful. When we thought he had enough, Sam shut them off.
He looked releif and angry at the same time. And then he stormed off to Adam's lab.
"ADAM!" yelled Brennan. "There's something wrong with your stupid $$ robots! I nearly got killed in there!"
Then we realized he thought it was Adam's fault. We didn't care if Brennan was angry at Adam for something he didn't do, he deserved it after the way he treated us. I almost wished Brennan would hurt Adam but then a part of me felt sorry for Adam. I had a feeling Sam felt the same way.
As we got closer to the lab, we heard Adam shut the door, he was afraid we might hear something we weren't suppose to hear, again. We tried to listen through the door but it was too thick. I think the room was sound-proof. Then we heard glass tubes breaking and Adam screaming in pain.
I was horrified at what I had done. Adam was hurt because of me. Then, I looked over at Sam. She seemed unaffected by this, so I asked her why.
"Sam, I can't believe what we had done!" I said.
"This is what Adam deserves. I don't feel sorry for him at all," she answered.
"How can you be so cruel and heartless?" I asked.
"I guess I don't have sympathy like you. I mean you can't stand Adam being yelled at because we had done something wrong," she said and I looked at her surprised.
"What do you mean yelled at? Brennan is hurting him, isn't he?" I asked kind of unsure myself.
"No way, Brennan would never hurt Adam. And what gave you that idea?" she asked.
"I heard glass tubes breaking and Adam screaming," I responded.
"You got it all wrong. Brennan rushed into the lab and knocked over some test tubes. And for Adam, he was picking up the broken tubes and cut himself. Does that explain everything?" she asked.
"Yes. But how did you know?" I asked.
"I am a psionic and I can see through other people's eyes and I saw through Adam's eyes," she said.
After a while, Brennan came out, calmly. Again, Brennan stared at us like everyone stared at us after Jesse's incident. We asked him what happened. He said the robots malfunctioned and they nearly killed him. He needed a talk with Adam about them. I guess he didn't think it was us at all. And then Adam called us and Brennan to see him.
He told us that the robots malfunction wasn't a malfunction. It was a sabtoage and he said it was done by someone in Sanctuary. Then Adam stared at the two of us and said it was done by a computer expert and it was a clever plan. With that said, we couldn't help but say it was us. Then we realized that was a mistake. Then as usual, Adam punished us with washing the dishes for a week. With that said, Operation Brennan was complete.
