![]() The Right Arm then took him into protective custody. They said he could get out of the WICKED compound if he pretended to be crazy, so he did. Gally tells them that people from the Right Arm contacted him while he was recovering from the Maze. Against everyone else’s advice, Thomas insists they find Gally before finding Hans. Brenda and Jorge explain it’s a renegade group intent on bringing down WICKED. Gally’s note says that he’s now a member of the Right Arm. She doesn’t believe the note could be from Gally, however, because the boy went crazy with guilt when he realized what WICKED had manipulated him to do. Thomas thought he had beaten Gally to death, but Brenda assures him he didn’t. Gally and Thomas were enemies in the Maze, and it was Gally, who under the control of WICKED, killed Thomas’ best friend, Chuck. He informs them that they are suspected of having escaped from WICKED and that they should follow his advice. A stranger approaches Thomas and his friends. Thomas and Minho have never seen so many people in one area. When they arrive, Newt insists on staying aboard the Berg while the others hunt for Hans. Uninfected people can still lead fairly normal lives, but everyone is monitored closely to keep an outbreak from occurring. Denver is one of the few cities left that has not been overrun by the Flare. The group decides to fly to Denver to find him. She tells them of a man named Hans who can remove the devices. Brenda warns them that until they get the devices out of their brains, WICKED can still, if they get close enough, manipulate them. After a battle with armed guards, Jorge manages to fly them out of the area in a Berg, which is an airship. Brenda leads Thomas, Minho and Newt to Jorge - another friend from the Scorch. Thomas again feels the sting of betrayal. They scour the WICKED compound for their friends, but Teresa and the others have escaped without them. Thomas is dragged into the operating room and sees Brenda, a girl he formed an attachment to in the Scorch. Thomas, Minho and Newt refuse to undergo the operation, but Rat Man eventually tries to force them. Sometime later, Newt gives Thomas a note and tells him not to read it yet. Thomas is saddened to hear Newt’s name among those infected. Rat Man also tells them the names of those who aren’t immune from the Flare. Of course, the procedure requires them to allow WICKED to put a probe into their brains to remove the device. Rat Man interrupts their reunion to inform them that they will now be given all their memories back. ![]() The few memories that have managed to re-emerge do not support Teresa’s claims that WICKED is good. Her constant assurance that she was only doing what the old Thomas would have wanted her to do, does nothing to help his emotions.Īll of his memories had been wiped away before he entered the Maze, as they were for all the Gladers. His closest friend had done nothing but hurt and betray him throughout the Scorch. When he meets up with Teresa again, he can’t help the feelings of distrust that creep into his mind. Thomas is released from isolation and reunited with his friends - Minho, Newt, Frypan and others from the Maze and the Scorch. It’s hoped that by monitoring the Munies in various stress and decision-making scenarios, scientists can map out a blueprint of their minds and figure out a way to cure those infected. The disease works by eating away areas of the brain. That’s why they’ve been put through the Maze and the Scorch trials. ![]() The disease eats away the minds of the afflicted until they turn into Cranks, zombie-like creatures that roam cities killing people until they’re killed themselves.įortunately for Thomas, he and most of his friends are Munies - immune to the Flare. Now, he hopes to convince Thomas to continue to work with WICKED to find a cure for the Flare. ![]() Rat Man, so nicknamed by Thomas because of his rodent-like features, had been the man to inform Thomas and the other Gladers about the Scorch. Alone with his thoughts and his anger, Thomas is surprised that only the fact that WICKED (World in Catastrophe: Killzone Experiment Department) won’t let him bathe is what’s driving him crazy.įinally, “Rat Man” enters the cell and explains everything to him. Instead of being given the cure for the deadly Flare disease as he’d been promised after surviving the Scorch, Thomas is separated from his friends and kept in isolation for three weeks. ![]()
