"What started?" 7 asked
Suddenly 13, 14, 15 and 16 walked out from the lift
"Hello, we got the stuff from our old-what?" 14 begun. She was staring at 5.
"It started, the change has begun..." 2 muttered.
"What change?" 16 asked "and why 5?"
"We don't know what, but it spreads buy the talisman. Poor 'diseased' souls are trapped inside and need the closest body. They will die inside but spread a virus changing the body to fit the soul." 9 said.
12 walked over to 5 and took out the talisman from his buttoned fabric and held it low. Suddenly there was a click and part of the talisman pressed in and glowed; 12 throw it to the ground which made it press out and stop glowing.
"So we can have to leave it alone" 15 pointed out to everyone.
"The machine has... followers that will kill anything in it's way to get the talisman." 13 said as if she'd practised it.
"What? How did you-oh yeah, sorry I forgot" 9 asked remembering her 'mind reading'.
"So what can we do?" 15 asked.
"Only time will tell what happens. We have time. But not 5. We must look after him well and research what will happen"
