Falafel drive-in san jose. Falador diary osrs. The Wave is set at Gordon High School over a period of nine days. But this isn't your average high school drama story. Day 1: Ben Ross shows his students a documentary on the Holocaust. He' upset when he realizes that his students have questions about the Holocaust that he can't answer – he wishes he could give them more. Day 2: Ben decides to try an experiment that will help his students understand how it was possible for the Nazis to gain control without someone stopping them. And the experiment begins: he starts by showing them how they can be more disciplined by adjusting their posture and following certain rules. The students already love Ben and they seem to enjoy the exercise. Day 3: Ben's students want more of what went down the day before, so he goes along with it. He creates a group called The Wave, complete with a logo, mottos, and a salute. One student, David Collins, thinks The Wave can help Gordon High's losing football team, and he starts teaching his teammates about the rules of the group. David's girlfriend, Laurie Saunders, is kind of excited about The Wave, too. But, when she tells her parents about it, her mom freak out and Laurie wonders if she has a point. In fact, something about The Wave just creeps her out. (Hey, Shmoop is feeling a little creeped out, too. ) Meanwhile, Ben's wife Christy is also concerned about The Wave and she hopes her husband isn't getting into something he can't control. Day 4: Laurie and David get into a tiff on the way to school when she voices her doubts about The Wave. In class that day, Ben gives his students Wave membership cards, which designate some students as "monitors" who are supposed to report Wave members who break the rules. (Uh oh. ) He also tells his students that they need to start taking action, action to benefit The Wave. He orders them to recruit new members. (Double uh oh. ) Laurie is increasingly doubtful about The Wave, but her friends get angry when she mentions it. Plus, The Wave seems to be really helping Robert Billings, the class loser. Now that they have The Wave, students accept Robert and he's actually becoming a leader. So it can't be all bad, right? Right?! On this day, Ben realizes how big The Wave is becoming and he hopes he has it under control. Day 5: A lot goes down on this day. Laurie, editor of the school newspaper, gets an anonymous letter from a student complaining that Wave members are bullying other students to try to make them join The Wave. Not good. Robert Billings asks Ben if he can be Ben's bodyguard – Ben agrees. Um? The pep-rally for Saturday's football game becomes a Wave rally, and some two hundred new members join. Yikes. When Laurie refuses to go to the rally, David breaks up with her. So, she hangs out in the publication office of the school paper with other staff members while the Wave members rally. Laurie's had enough: she decides to investigate The Wave and write an exposé about it for the paper. Day 6: At the football game, Laurie tries to go into the bleachers to talk to her friend Amy, but is told that she can't go up unless she gives The Wave salute. She refuses to give the salute and just heads on out. (Pretty cool how she stands by what she believes in, even with intense peer pressure. ) Day 7: On Sunday, Laurie and the school paper staff have an emergency meeting to flesh out their special issue on The Wave. Day 8: The special issue is published, which inspires many more students to come forward with bad stories about The Wave. Ben is in big trouble with the principal and many parents, and he knows he has to find a way to stop this mess before things get worse. After a creepy experience after hours for Laurie in school, David begs Laurie to stop criticizing The Wave. She refuses and he gets physical with her, throwing her to the ground.. Immediately, David realizes what he's done. The Wave has made him forget who he really is and what he really cares about. He and Laurie make up (that was quick! ) and go to Ben's house to beg him to stop The Wave. Day 9: On Tuesday, Ben ends the experiment by telling his students that they have been acting like Nazis. (As noted in "What's Up With the Ending? " this is a tad problematic. ) The Wave disbands, leaving Robert Billings in tears. Ben finds Robert crying and heads out with him for a chat and a bite to eat. Hopefully, Ben will find a way to help this kid out… a way that doesn't involve a way-too-weird experiment. Chapter 1 Laurie Saunders is sitting by herself in the publication office of The Gordon Grapevine, Gordon High's school newspaper. Laurie is all alone in the office, much to her irritation. She's been with the paper for the past three years, and the paper has never once come out on time. Even as the editor, she hasn't been able to change the pattern. Laurie leaves the office. There's a few minutes left in this period, and she walks over to Mr. Gabondi's extremely boring French class. She looks in the window and starts making faces at her best friend Amy Smith. Amy can't help giggling like crazy. Oops. Mr. Gabondi is at the door, looking angry. Luckily, the bell rings before he can yell at her, and Laurie and Amy run off together to their next class. Cut to Ben Ross. He's a teacher, trying to set up a film projector so he can show his history class a film. (The sort-of-real events on which this novel is based happened in 1969, before Blue Ray, DVD, and streaming video. It was a sad time, we know. ) Ben is hopeless with anything mechanical. His wife Christy, who teaches music at Gordon High, is the opposite – so he lets her handle the mechanical issues. What a team! Ben and Christy have both been at Gordon for two years. Ben is probably the most popular teacher there: students like the way he gets so into whatever he's teaching. His excitement rubs off on them, and they actually do their work. (Nudge, nudge, teachers worldwide! ). Teacher Ben uses a lot of creative exercises in his class to get students interested. Maybe he was channeling Shmoop! Other teachers aren't so thrilled with Ben, though. They think that when he gets older he'll start doing things their way – lots of homework and handouts. They also have a problem with the fact that he doesn't wear a suit and tie to work. And in the end, a couple of them are just jealous of him. Ben puts the projector aside and glances over the homework papers. Amy Smith and Laurie Saunders have the only A papers. There are lots of B's and C's. Brian Ammon, a quarterback on the football team, and Robert Billings, "the class loser" (1. 18), get the two Ds. Wah wah. When the bell rings and the students come in, Ben asks David Collins to set the projector up for him. David is Laurie's boyfriend, and captain of the football team. Not surprisingly, this guy gets the projector set up easily. Ben passes out the homework, complaining – for the third time this semester! – that it's too messy. Chapter 2 World War II is the topic in Ben Ross' history class. The movie he's showing is about Nazi concentration camps, or death camps. (Since we know your curious minds are itching for more, here's a brief historical interruption. Concentration camps were a tool of the Holocaust: in Germany, Poland, and other eastern European countries, millions of Jewish people – and other minorities – were imprisoned in these camps. They were starved, tortured, and murdered. A really important and awful historical moment. ) The students stare at the men and women shown in the film. These people are literally starving to death, and they are pure skin and bones. Ben's already seen this film, but it's still hideous to him. Now Ben gives the class some history: he says that a man named Adolf Hitler is responsible for what they are watching, and that it all went down between 1934 and 1945. Hitler believed that non-Jewish German people were "a superior race" (2. 3) and that Jewish people were the enemies of the rest of the Germans, so he developed and carried out a plan that was meant kill all Jews. (So scary. ) The film is now showing starving Jewish people being forced to stack dead bodies while Nazi soldiers supervise. Ben says that the Nazis imprisoned millions of Jewish people and anyone else they thought of as inferior. He says that Hitler called his plan "the Final Solution to the Jewish problem" (2. 5) (We get a little more history in here, too: people in the camps usually didn't last a year; some only lived for days or weeks. Ben says that over ten million men, women, and children were killed during this time period. ) This is not easy stuff to stomach, we know. The film is over, and Ben turns the lights on. Most of the students don't seem affected by the hideous film. Maybe it seems like just another violent movie, or maybe they can't relate to it because their lives are basically free of war and suffering. Robert Billings is actually asleep. He slept through that?! Laurie Saunders, though, looks like she's been crying. And Amy Smith looks like the film bothered her, too. Amy asks Ben if all German people were Nazis. Answer? Far from it. It turns out that only about ten percent of Germans were actually Nazis. (Here you might be wondering, what the heck is a Nazi? Well, we're giving you a little bonus history lesson. Use it to impress friends, family, and teachers: See, the Nazi party was a legitimate political party in Germany. In 1933, a man named Paul von Hindenburg was reelected as President of Germany. He wanted nothing to do with the Nazi party [or its head, Adolf Hitler], but he gave in to certain pressure and appointed Hitler as chancellor of Germany. When Hindenburg died in 1934, Hitler claimed the presidency and the Nazis became the ruling political party in Germany until the end of World War II in 1945. Got it? Okay, now back to the book. ) Amy asks why the rest of the Germans didn't stop the Nazis from murdering the Jewish population. This is a tough question and Ben isn't sure. He says that after World War II, many German people said they didn't know what Hitler was doing. (If you want some food for thought on this issue, check out Marcus Zusak's awesome young adult novel about the Holocaust, The Book Thief. ) Some people in the class think it's impossible that the German people didn't know what was going on. Ben responds: he says Nazis were "highly organized and feared. The behavior of the rest of the German population is a mystery – why they didn't try to stop it, how they could say they didn't know. We just don't know the answers" (2. 15) Not much of an answer, but it's the truth. The class is still talking about all this when the bell rings. David Collins, for one, is ready to go. The film did bother him, but his stomach is bothering him more. It's lunchtime! David tells his girlfriend Laurie to hurry up so they can get to the cafeteria before the crowds start. He's not psyched when she tells him she'll meet him there soon. Laurie approaches Teacher Ben: she says that she can imagine any human being, even a Nazi, being that horrible to other people. Ben says that after the war, lots of Nazis said that they were forced to do what they did. They would have been murdered themselves if they hadn't done what they were told. Laurie just can't believe that either. She's a tough sell. Robert Billings tries to sneak out without confrontation about the homework, but Ben catches him. He warns Robert that if he doesn't do better, he'll have to give him a failing grade. Turns out Robert couldn't care less, and Ben isn't sure what to tell him. He knows that Robert's big brother, Jeff, was the perfect student, Mr. Popular, and a star athlete when he was at Gordon. Maybe Robert isn't trying at all because he thinks he can never measure up to his brother. Ben decides to voice this: he tells Robert that he doesn't have to compete with his brother. Robert doesn't react, he just says he has to leave. Chapter 3 David Collins has already scarfed down his lunch when Laurie Saunders gets to the cafeteria. When Laurie sits down, they watch Robert Billings: he sits at a table, and the two girls who were already sitting there get up and leave. Not cool, girls. David thinks Robert acts the way he does because of the way people treat him. Laurie adds her two cents: she says that her mom knows Robert' mom. Apparently, Robert has been tested and there's no real reason why he does bad in school: there isn't anything wrong with his brain. Having done their share of people watching, Laurie brings up the film from class. David says it bothers him, sure, but that it's not something they can do anything about. It's just part of history. Laurie agrees, but doesn't think they can just forget about it either. David tells her that even if they don't forget about it, they can't go around feeling bad about it all the time either. Who do you agree with? Soon, Amy Smith and Brian Ammon show up. The topic of the film comes up again, and Amy says she's shaken up by it, too. Seems like this film really got people talking. Laurie says she's leaving to go work on The Gordon Grapevine. Amy isn't part of the newspaper staff, but she decides to hang out in the publication office with Laurie. They talk about their boyfriends and about what they will do next year, once they've graduated. Though she doesn't say it out loud, Laurie feels like Amy is always competing with her. Ever since Laurie started dating David, Amy decided she had to date a football player, too. And it doesn't end there: she's competitive about grades and popularity, too. Doesn't sound like the best friendship in the world, that's for sure. In fact, this competition keeps them from being the kind of close friends Laurie wishes they were. Soon enough, two other members of The Grapevine staff show up: Carl Block, the investigative reporter, and Alex Cooper, the music reviewer. When Laurie asks them where their articles are for the new edition of the paper, they both say they have a plane to catch and then, in a truly mature fashion, they run away. Chapter 4 Ben Ross is troubled. He feels bad that he couldn't give his students answers to their questions about the Nazis and the German people in history class, so he stops by the library on his way home and picks up a bunch of books on the topic. The more you know, the more you can teach, right? Ben's wife Christy played tennis with a friend tonight, so Ben spends hours reading. None of the books seem to have the answers he's looking for, though. He thinks about it: maybe the only way Ben's students would understand is if they were somehow in a similar situation. Hmmm. Ben kind of likes that idea. Maybe he can spend a few class periods trying to give his students "a sampling, a taste of what life in Nazi Germany might have been like" (4. 3). (Sounds kind of dangerous, don' t you think? ). After tennis, Christy had dinner with a friend, so she doesn't get home until around 11:00PM. Even that late, she finds Ben still buried in his books. She knows Ben gets really obsessed with whatever he's working on, and she asks what the latest project is. He's too distracted to answer so she looks at some of his books. When she sees the titles, she asks him, "What are you doing, cramming for a degree in dictatorship? " (4. 19). Ba-dum-chh! He explains that his students asked him some important questions that he wasn't able to answer. But it turns out that none of the books he has seem to have the answers either. The students might only be able to understand through experience, he tells his wife. She reminds him that he has to teach the next day so he should head to bed. But of course, she's sure he'll be up all night reading and thinking. Chapter 5 It seems like business as usual in Ben Ross's history class. But then the students notice what he's written on the blackboard: "STRENGTH THROUGH DISCIPLINE" (5. 2). Ben explains that today's class will be about "discipline" (5. 4). This doesn't make them very happy, to say the least; they thought that Mr. Ross was way better than to lecture them about stuff like discipline. But wait, it isn't what it sounds like. What he's really going to talk about is power and success. Discipline, he says, is the way to get power and success. First, he uses football as an example. Turning to the football players in the room, he points out that in order to be successful at football, the players have to have discipline. Right? Right. One player points out that they have had a two year losing streak. Not great. Next, Ben uses ballet dancing as an example, turning to the ballerina in the class. She agrees that she has to be disciplined to succeed in ballet. Okay, so now we're getting the point: Ben tells the students that any art requires discipline. And now, he says, he can show them how to "create power through discipline" (5. 15). To his surprise, his students look interested. Awesome – good start. Ben says it all starts with posture. He has Amy sit up very stiff and straight to show what a disciplined posture looks like. The other students follow suit, even Robert. Ben tells the class to follow Robert's example and… they do. Next, Ben has the class practice getting up from their chairs, lining up, then getting back to their seats. They practice until they are able to do this in a super-fast, organized way. After this exercise, Ben is amazed at how quiet the class is. They are excited and ready for more. (Maybe it's the endorphins? ) He says there are three other rules they need to follow in order to achieve power and success through discipline. First rule: Everybody has to have a pencil and paper and take notes. Second rule: Stand next to your desk whenever you answer a question. Third rule: When you answer a question, you have to say "Mr. Ross" before you answer. The class seems to agree with the rules. Well, that was easy. Ben starts firing questions at the students about history from the textbook readings. The students answer really quickly, following Ben's new rules. The bell rings, but nobody moves. Eerie. Ben gives them reading homework and finally dismisses them. The class rises together and leaves the classroom. In the hall, Brian, Eric, Amy, and David talk about what happened. They think it was pretty amazing. Brad says it was no big thing – just a different way of doing what they always do: answering questions. David thinks there is something more to it than that. He leaves the group and goes to the bathroom. In the stall, he wonders if Brad is right. No, he doesn't think so. The class was so excited. If he could somehow get the football team as organized and excited as the class was today, maybe they could win a stinkin' game. He leaves the stall, but he stops when he notices someone standing by the sink. It's Robert. He's looking in the mirror. David watches as Robert straightens his posture and makes motions with his mouth, like he's still in Mr. Ross's class today, answering questions. That night, Ben tells his wife about what happened in class. She can't believe the class stayed after the bell rang. We know, right?! She asks if he will keep on with the experiment, but he says he isn't sure. He needs to talk to the class about the other aspect of World War II, the war with Japan. He doesn't tell Christy, but he was just as caught up in what happened today as his students were. He really liked the way these kids were able to answer so many questions so rapidly. It was kind of amazing. We'd say so. Chapter 6 The next day, there's a major first. Ben is late to class, but when he gets there, all the students are already in class, sitting quietly and stiffly at their desks with their new posture. Whoa! When he realizes this isn't some kind of joke, he decides to continue with his experiment. He goes to the board and writes the word "COMMUNITY" under the words "STRENGTH THROUGH DISCIPLINE" (6. 7). He explains that community is "a bond" that holds together a group of people who are working toward the same goal. It's "the feeling" (6. 10) you get when you work together with others for something that is bigger than any individual person. David totally gets what he's talking about and thinks it could be really useful for the football team. Ben continues: community, like discipline, is something they will have to experience to understand. Okay, so now they have two mottos: "Strength Through Discipline, " and "Strength Through Community" (6. 13). The students each get up, stand by their desks, and recite the mottos. Laurie and Brad look uncomfortable, but finally, they join in. Next step: Ben says they need a slogan for their community. He draws a wave on the blackboard: their movement will be called "The Wave" (6. 43). He says they will also have a salute: he forms his hand into the shape of a wave and then puts it against his left shoulder. The students practice the salute until they get it right. Ben says that whenever they see another member of The Wave, they should give the salute. Now, Ben asks each member of the class to give the salute and say the motto. (What the heck? Mottos and salutes and a logo? This is where things start to go from creepy to really creepy…). After school that day, David tells Eric about his plan to use ideas from The Wave to improve the football team. Eric is skeptical: he isn't sure that they should even tell anyone outside the classroom about The Wave. Then Brian gets in on the conversation: he says that he would do just about anything to be more successful at football. A guy named Deutsch, who wants to steal Brian's position on the team, starts teasing Brian. Things escalate quickly, and all of the sudden, Brian and Deutsch are about to get into a fistfight. David gets in between them and says that this is why they can't win. They don't act like a team: instead, they're just a bunch of individual guys, each out for himself. David is sure they could win if they had more of a sense of teamwork. Eric (who seems to have changed his tune) urges David to tell the other players about The Wave. And so it begins: David starts by telling them about the mottos and showing them the salute… Chapter 7 That night, Laurie Saunders tells her parents what's been going on in her history class for the past two days. Mrs. Saunders isn't psyched: it's all too military for her. But Laurie doesn't think it's a bad thing. So far it's been a good experience; it's actually been bringing her classmates together. According to Mr. Saunders, anything that will help students "pay attention" (7. 8) can't be bad. Laurie continues to share her thoughts, and she brings up Robert Billings. How can The Wave be bad if it's stopped kids from picking on him? History class, says Mrs. Saunders, should be about learning history, not about learning to be part of a group. Things are starting to heat up! To counter his wife's argument, Mr. Saunders says that learning about working together as a team or a group is how America was made. Groups like the pilgrims had to cooperate and act toward a common goal. Community is indeed important, Mrs. Saunders admits. But America is also about people being independent and thinking for yourself. This is what she wants for Laurie. Once again, Laurie tries to defend The Wave, but her mother just isn't having it. Her father supports her, saying that Ben Ross probably knows exactly what he's doing, and Mrs. Saunders shouldn't worry about it. Well, to Mrs. Saunders, it sounds like Ben is "manipulating" (7. 20) his students. Laurie assures her this isn't the case. (Whatever the case may be, this whole The Wave thing is definitely causing a stir! ) Luckily, Mr. Saunders changes the subject by asking where Laurie's boyfriend David is tonight. He comes over almost every night to study with Laurie and to talk to her dad about sports and engineering. Turns out David wants to be an engineer like Laurie's dad. Laurie tells him that David decided to stay home and study for history tonight. What?! Well, The Wave can't be too horrible if it has David studying! That's Mr. Saunders' opinion, at least. Cut to the home of Ben and Christy Ross. Ben is telling Christy that, so far, his experiment seems to be turning his class into better students (and better people! ). They really seem to like being told exactly what to do. Christy understands this: it's definitely easier to do what you are told than to think for yourself. (Pretty risky business, if you ask us. ) But something about The Wave really bugs Christy. For one thing, Ben is acting like the students in his history class are now better than the other students or something. She asks Ben how far he is going to go with his experiment. He's not sure, but he's really curious to see what will happen when he continues with it. Half joking, she warns him to be careful. Chapter 8 David and Laurie both walk to school. In tenth grade, David started taking a little detour that went right past Laurie's house. At first, he would run into her about once a week, but soon they got to know each other. Once a week turned into almost every day. What David doesn't know is that Laurie was watching for him from her window and meeting up with him on purpose. Sneaky! On the third day of The Wave, David picks up Laurie on her way to school. He's very excited about using The Wave for the football team: even the Coach Schiller thinks it might work. Laurie tells David that her mother is worried that The Wave is some kind of "brainwashing" (8. 5) and that Ben Ross "is manipulating" (8. 7) the students. David says Laurie's mom is nuts and that all she does is worry about everything all the time. (Hey, our moms do that, too! Maybe it's a mom thing. ) A little disagreement starts to erupt. Laurie gets defensive: she never said she agreed with her mom. But David points out that she didn't say her mother was wrong either. Laurie wants to continue this discussion with David about The Wave, but she doesn't want them to argue, so she backs down. Crisis averted, but discussion halted. When Ben Ross' students come into the classroom today, things are a little different. There's a poster in the back of the classroom with The Wave logo on it. Ben then passes out little yellow cards that he calls "membership cards" (8. 27). He tells them that if their card has a red X on it, it means they are a "monitor" (8. 31): Monitors are supposed to tell Ben if any members of The Wave aren't following the rules. Robert and Brian both have a red X on their cards and they actually look pretty happy about it. People who don't have an X, on the other hand, don't look so happy. Laurie asks what the point of this is. Good question. Ben says, "It's just an example of how a group might monitor itself" (8. 38). Next, Ben turns to the board and writes the word "ACTION" (8. 39). He says that discipline and community are nothing without action. He asks if the class believes in The Wave. They enthusiastically chant, "yes! " (8. 41). Well then, they'd better start taking some action, Ben says. Laurie is standing with her classmates, but she's beginning to feel really strange about the whole thing. She doesn't like the way that everybody will do anything Ben Ross says, without even questioning it. Ben tells them that the first action they need to take is to recruit other students into The Wave. David and Eric are pretty psyched about this. They were worried that they weren't supposed to tell anybody about The Wave, but now they know they did the right thing by sharing it with the football team. Phew. The students start to share their super positive feelings about The Wave. Once student, George Snyder, says that he finally like he's a part of something. After some share-time, Ben tells the students to give the salute. They do so with lots of enthusiasm, and then they chant the mottos. Ben can tell that this isn't a game anymore. His students really are The Wave now, acting as one body. He's pretty sure they could continue this on their own, but he knows they are devoted enough to him as a leader that he can keep them under control. Eek. At lunch, the members of The Wave all sit together. Even Robert Billings is accepted into the group. Laurie asks if anybody else thinks all this is a little bit odd. Everyone has a different answer. Amy says it's just different: it's just that Laurie isn't used to it. Brad says he likes that it cuts through all the little groups at school: this way, they are all together as one community. Sounds nice enough. But Laurie isn't sure she likes that. Brian jumps in and reminds her that she'll be reported to Mr. Ross if she breaks any Wave rules. He grins to show he's just kidding, but… yeah. David defends Laurie: she's not breaking any rules, he says. But then Robert chimes in: according to him, if Laurie really was against The Wave, she would be breaking the rules. Whoa. Everybody is super surprised that Robert is speaking up this way. But Laurie decides that if The Wave is helping Robert fit in at school and become more assertive, it can't be all bad. In fact, to say The Wave is a bad thing would be like saying Robert should sit by himself at lunch every day like he used to. So she keeps her doubts to herself. Chapter 9 Ben realizes that The Wave is really catching on. Students who aren't even in his history class are coming to sit in on his lessons – even skipping their real classes and using free periods to be able to make it. Even though the class is bigger, things are still organized and calm, thanks to rules of The Wave. Ben's students are very quick to answer the questions on the readings. But there's just one thing: he notices that the answers they give in class and in their homework assignments are short: they don't have a lot of thought behind them. He thinks they'd probably do well on a multiple choice test, but not so well on an essay where they needed to think things through. Ben has also heard that the football team is now using The Wave: Coach Schiller actually stopped Ben and thanked him. This is getting pretty big. Since everyone has been so enthusiastic, Ben has asked some of the students what it is they like about The Wave. There seem to be two main responses: some students like it because it's new; others like it because it makes sure everyone is equal. We're now in The Gordon Grapevine 's publication office with Laurie and the other staff members. They're trying to have a meeting: the paper is scheduled to come out next week and nobody has their stories ready. Surprise, surprise. When Laurie asks for story ideas, Carl brings up The Wave. Everyone agrees that it's a pretty big story; in fact, it's probably the most interesting thing going on at school. Since Laurie is in Ben Ross' history class, the other staff members think she should be the one to do a story about it. She's not sure she has enough information to write a whole story about it, but she agrees to at least give it a shot. Laurie has been careful to avoid the topic of The Wave at home. But tonight, her mother brings it up. Apparently, Laurie's mom and Robert's mom ran into each other at grocery store. Robert's mom was raving about the positive changes she'd seen in Robert since he joined The Wave. This is a bit worrisome to Laurie's mom. Why? Well, she thinks Robert fits the pattern of somebody who has joined a cult. People who join cults, she says, are often trying to escape from an unhappy life. Joining a cult allows them to get a new personality and to start fresh with their lives. Well, wait a second: what is the problem with that? To Laurie, that sounds like a good thing. According to Laurie's mom, the problem is that Robert is depending on The Wave for his new personality. Outside of school, where there is no Wave, Robert will continue to have problems. Okay, confession time: Laurie admits to her mother that she isn't interested in being part of The Wave. Her mom is relieved: she knew Laurie wouldn't be taken in by something like that. And she really is worried about all the other students, the ones who do believe that The Wave is a good thing. Laurie reassures her mom: she thinks The Wave is just a fad. It will pass. There's still more to talk about, though. Her mother brings up the pep rally on Friday: she heard that it's turned into a Wave rally. Laurie explains that it's just a pep rally for Saturday's football game, but her mom says she heard that two hundred new Wave members would be inducted into The Wave at the rally. Yikes: doesn't sound like any old pep rally to us. But don't worry, Mom! Laurie insists that Mr. Ross is a great teacher: he'd never create a cult at school. Laurie just wishes people would hurry up and get over it. Even her boyfriend David and her best friend Amy are into it. It's starting to get annoying. Saunders is glad that Laurie isn't into The Wave, but she warns her daughter to be cautious. And sure enough, after their conversation, Laurie wonders if her mom might be right about all of this after all. Chapter 10 While Ben is drinking coffee in the teacher's lounge, he gets a message that Principal Owens wants to see him. Dun dun dun. He's pretty sure he's in trouble. But he has to admit, it would be a bit of a relief if Principal Owens told him to shut down The Wave. On the other hand, what would happen to Robert Billings? Thanks to The Wave, Robert has gone from class loser to an accepted member of The Wave community. Plus, he's finally doing well in his classes. If The Wave were to end, would Robert go back to the way he was before? Ben is also worried that if The Wave were to shut down now, his students wouldn't have learned what he wanted them to learn from it. The whole thing would have been for nothing. When Ben gets to Principal Owens' office, he's a little surprised. He thought Owens would be angry, but he seems to be smiling and happy. What gives? Not so fast. First, he asks Ben to explain The Wave. Ben explains that it's an experiment to help students understand what happened in Nazi Germany. Now Owens looks a little less happy. (Duh. ) Owens is not psyched about the chanting and the salute. He warns Ben to be really careful with this. Ben promises that he's completely in control, but Owens wants to be sure that a mob of angry parents isn't going to show up asking why their kids are joining some weird cult. Again, Ben promises him that won't happen. And since Ben has never let him down before, Principal Owens is going to let him continue with the experiment. And so it continues… Chapter 11 The next day, Laurie finds an anonymous letter slipped under the door of the publication office. Mysterious! It's from a student: a junior at Gordon. The student is upset: he and some of his friends have been threatened into joining The Wave. And what's worse, he has no idea what The Wave members will do to people who don't join. When Ben walks through the halls after his meeting with Owens, he is amazed at all The Wave activity going on. These kids seem to have an unlimited amount of energy to devote to The Wave. Soon, Ben notices that someone is following him. He turns around and sees that it's Robert. Robert smiles at him and he smiles back. Hmm, okay. But wait. Robert continues to follow him. He finally asks Robert what's going on and Robert tells him that he's Ben's bodyguard. Robert is convinced that as leader of The Wave, Ben's life could be in danger. It dawns on Ben that he is considered "the ultimate leader of The Wave" (11. 28). In fact, he's also heard some students mentioning orders that supposedly came from him. But he hasn't actually given any orders to anyone. Very curious, indeed. Not wanting to put a damper on Robert's excitement, Ben agrees to let him be his bodyguard. After all, this might be good for the experiment by exaggerating Ben's image as leader of The Wave. Chapter 12 Laurie isn't sure she wants to go to the Wave rally in the gym. The anonymous letter just added to her growing feeling that The Wave is something to be afraid of. Suddenly, she hears loud noises. When she looks out the window, she sees Brian Ammon fighting with another guy, and a crowd of students are standing around them. A teacher manages to separate them and takes them toward principal's office. Laurie can hear Brian yelling The Wave mottos as he walks. Uh oh. David comes up behind Laurie, surprising her. He says that the guy Brian was fighting is Deutsch, the one from the football team who wants Brian's position. (Yeah, we saw that one coming. ) Laurie wants to know why Brian was shouting The Wave motto – kind of peculiar, she thinks. But David says that they are all just really excited about The Wave. No big deal. He also says that if Deutsch were in The Wave, he wouldn't be trying to steal Brian's position: he'd been acting like part of the community instead. Then David takes it one step further: he wishes that non-Wave people would be kicked off the football team. Wow. Laurie has had enough: she tells David that she's not going to the rally. Not surprisingly, David is really peeved: he wants her to be serious about The Wave. Then there's some more arguing: Laurie: "I can't believe how crazy this has gotten. The Wave is taking over everything" (12. 24). David: "The Wave makes sense, Laurie. Everybody's on the same team. Everybody's equal for once" (12. 25). You get the drift. Finally, Laurie makes a sarcastic remark and David flips out. He accuses her of not liking The Wave because it has stripped her of her popularity. Now she's just like everybody else. Ouch. Laurie denies this and then spits out a super solid comeback: she calls him "stupid" (12. 32). He tells her that if she feels that way, she should go find herself a smarter boyfriend. (Ouch, dis! ) Then he walks away and goes to the rally. Hmmm, that didn't go so well. Laurie hides out in the publication office during the rally, trying to figure out what she can do about The Wave situation. Soon Alex and Carl join her: Carl didn't go to the rally, and Alex snuck out early. Neither of them is even slightly interested in being part of The Wave. They tell Laurie they need to publish something on The Wave. And fast. (Go free speech! ) Laurie asks Carl and Alex to tell the members of the staff who aren't in The Wave to meet at her house on Sunday for an emergency editorial session. Laurie stays in her room by herself that night. She and David had a date, but he didn't show up. They have had fights before, sure, but he's never stood her up. This is serious stuff. Ugh, she can't believe that The Wave actually broke up their relationship. Laurie is crying when her dad knocks on her door. She wipes her eyes and lets him in. Now it's her dad's turn to talk to her about The Wave: he's really worried because a boy was beat up after school today. Laurie says it was probably somebody who refused to join The Wave, but her dad explains that it's not so simple. The boy who was beaten is a Jewish boy. Laurie is shocked. She explains that the whole thing started because Mr. Ross wanted them to understand what happened in Nazi Germany. Her father says it sounds like things have gone too far. Sure does. Neither of them is going to stand by and watch this happen. The parents are going to see the principal about it on Monday, and The Gordon Grapevine is going to put out a special issue on The Wave. Her dad tells her to be very, very cautious… and she totally agrees. Chapter 13 Amy and Laurie always sit together at football games. Laurie is particularly excited to see her friend this time: after she tells her about the Jewish boy who was beaten, she's sure Amy will understand that The Wave is dangerous. And of course, Laurie wants to talk to Amy about the fight she had with David. Major dish session. Laurie sees Amy up in the bleachers and rushes up toward her. But Brad from history class stops her: he says she can't go up there unless she gives The Wave salute. What?! Laurie argues with him, and he admits that he doesn't really believe in all this either. She refuses to give the salute, but Brad lets her go up anyway; he figures no one is watching them. But now, Laurie isn't so sure she wants to go up in the bleachers after all. She asks Brad why he's part of The Wave even though he knows it's crazy. He doesn't give her a straight answer, but he tells her that people are noticing that she isn't into The Wave. She should watch her back. ) Denied her girl talk, Laurie goes on with her day. There are a heck of a lot of staff members missing from the editorial meeting at Laurie's house on Sunday. Carl says the people who didn't show up are afraid of making The Wave mad. Time to talk shop: the special edition will include the anonymous letter Laurie got, and an article by Carl about the guy who was beaten. Carl reports that the boy wasn't badly hurt. It turns out it wasn't a beating, just a scuffle. It's also unclear as to whether they were actually fighting about The Wave. It seems like some guys who aren't part of The Wave might have used The Wave as an excuse to fight with the boy. Not cool. Even less cool: one of them had called him "a dirty Jew" (13. 36). (In case you were wondering, in the real experiment on which this book is based, no one called anyone a name like that. Why do you suppose our author decided to add this to the book? ) So, the special issue will also include interviews with teachers and parents. But the biggest article is the one Laurie is writing herself. The article "condemned The Wave as a dangerous and mindless movement that suppressed free speech and thought and ran against everything the country was founded on" (13. 37). Now that's an opinion. Her article also points out that The Wave doesn't even work. Their football team lost again. Burn! They plan to have the issue out by lunchtime tomorrow. Chapter 14 Laurie really needs to see Amy before the issue comes out. She hopes that after Amy reads her story, she'll get out of The Wave before anything bad happens. But Amy doesn't react the way Laurie planned. Instead, Amy chews Laurie out, saying she can't talk this way about The Wave. According to Amy, Laurie is only doing this because she's fighting with David. Not true! Laurie tries to explain that people are actually being hurt because of The Wave. Amy won't have any of it: she likes being part of The Wave. Everybody has the same social status and finally, Amy doesn't have to worry about competing with Laurie. This just confirms Laurie's suspicions: as we've heard before, Amy has been trying to compete with Laurie throughout their friendship. Amy continues: she says that the only reason Laurie is against The Wave is because it means Laurie isn't so special anymore. Laurie is shocked and angry to boot. But guess what: she's printing the story anyway. (You tell 'em! ) Amy heads in the other direction – probably to report Laurie to The Wave authorities. Fast forward to the next day. When the issue comes out, it's super popular and it encourages a lot of people to voice their opinions. Students start talking about bad experiences with The Wave, and kids who didn't want to join step up and claim they have been threatened and abused. Parents and teachers have been talking to the principal about The Wave all morning, and counselors have started to interview students about it. This is a really, really big deal. Ben Ross – the man behind it all – is in the teacher's lounge reading The Gordon Grapevine. He has a terrible headache and wonders how things could have gone so wrong. He's sure that somehow it's his fault. (Um, yeah: Shmoop has to agree with him on that count! ) He also realizes that the football team's loss kind of bothers him. He was thinking that if The Wave had worked for the team, he could justify it. But wait: he isn't supposed to want The Wave to work, or even to exist. This wasn't supposed to be what his experiment was about. He's super confused, to say the least. Now we get the scoop on how David feels about all this. He still thinks The Wave is a good thing. If everybody had joined, there wouldn't be all these problems. Also, their football loss does not mean The Wave doesn't work. The team had only known about it for five days when they played. At least they have some team spirit going on now. David's pretty sure that Laurie and her staff made up a lot of the stuff they printed in the paper. He can deal with Laurie not wanting to be part of The Wave, fine. But he's upset that she took things further: she's actually trying to destroy The Wave. And where's Robert in all of this? Well, Robert tells David that the things in the article are lies. David – who we know agrees with him – just tells him not to worry about it. Robert doesn't buy it. He says: "Laurie Saunders is a threat […]. She must be stopped" (15. 34). (Somebody's watched Terminator one too many times. ) This doesn't sit well with David, so David starts to argue with him. Brian jumps in, stopping David and telling Robert to relax. Brian says he and David will handle Laurie. Brian pulls David aside: he thinks David can probably convince Laurie to stop attacking The Wave. David agrees, but he just doesn't feel right about it. Chapter 15 Christy Ross rushes home after school to see what's up with her husband (Teacher Ben). It turns out Ben skipped half of the school day, and she's sure it has to do with the whole Wave situation. Sure enough, when she gets home, Ben is reading a book on "Nazi youth" (15. 1). (When the Nazis ruled Germany, they trained young people to further their mission. Marcus Zusak's The Book Thief has a lot of interesting things to say about this, and shows young people both resisting and embracing this kind of education. Also, be sure to check out "Education" in the Themes section in this learning guide! ) Christy wants to know where her husband disappeared to, but he says he's too busy to talk to her right now. She insists that they talk immediately about The Wave. It's becoming a big problem: her students are skipping her classes to go to his. All the teachers are up in arms about this – everybody thinks he's has no idea what he's doing. Ben gets it: "Don't you think I know that? […] I know what they're saying about me. That I'm crazy with power…that I'm on an ego trip" (15. 8). (Is that what you think about Ben? ) Christy asks if his goals have changed – is he doing this for a different reason now? She feels like he's a totally different person, like she doesn't even know him anymore. She knows her husband "goes overboard" with things: he gets obsessed and can't stop himself. But now's the time for him to stop with The Wave. It has to end. Ben admits that it looks like he's out of control, but he says it's too early to stop the experiment. It's really important that the students involved in The Wave realize that it's wrong. If they don't stop the experiment on their own, they won't learn anything from the experiment. Christy doesn't agree: she says that the most important thing is to stop The Wave before something really bad happens. Ben holds his ground, though: "I have to push them until they get the point. I might be teaching these kids the most important lesson of their lives! " (15. 16). Christy still doesn't see things his way. (Whose side are you on? ) She tells him that Principal Owens was looking for him all day, and wants to see him bright and early tomorrow, in his office. That same afternoon, Laurie and The Grapevine staff celebrated the success of their special issue. It's not enough to stop The Wave, but it sure can't hurt. They hope that now, Wave members at least won't be threatening and bullying other students anymore. Laurie stays late to clean up, since the rest of the staff conveniently disappeared when the fun stuff was over. It's dark when she finishes, and she's all alone in the school. She wonders if someone from The Wave might try to get back at her for what she's written. No – she's sure she's just being "paranoid" (15. 21). Laurie walks down the hallway – the school is creepy when it's dark and empty. Gulp. When she gets to her locker, her heart starts beating like crazy. Somebody has painted the word "enemy" (15. 23) on her locker. (So much for paranoia! ) She tells herself to relax. They want her to be afraid, but she's sure she isn't in any real danger. But then she thinks she hears footsteps. She can't control her fear, and gets more and more scared as the moments go by. The sound of footsteps gets louder, and she runs out of school as fast as she can. She keeps running until she's out of breath. She feels a little better now, out in the night air. When she passes the tennis courts on her way home, David and Brian are sitting in Brian's van – waiting for her. When David tells Brian he's going to talk to Laurie by himself, Brian responds, "Just as long as she understands […]. We're not playing around anymore" (15. Brian is talking like Robert now. David catches up to Laurie. He tells her to stop attacking The Wave and tries to convince her that the Wave is a good thing, but Laurie refuses to listen. Now we're in David's head: he has to make her understand. She could ruin The Wave for everybody. He grabs her arm. She tries to get away, but he holds on tighter. Then he screams: "Laurie, stop writing those articles! Keep your mouth shut about The Wave! You're ruining it for everybody else! " (15. 56). Laurie isn't deterred – she says she can write anything she pleases. Now David is really pissed. He grabs Laurie's other arm and yells right at her: "We can stop you, and we will! " (15. 58). WOW. This is scary stuff. Laurie yells back that she hates him, The Wave, and everybody involved in it. And at this point, can you blame her? "Shut up! " David screams at her, knocking her down onto the ground. Immediately after he does this, he feels bad. (He'd better! ) He asks if she's okay and tries to help her. He says he's sorry. He can't understand what just happened: he loves Laurie and would never want to hurt her. Revelation time! If The Wave could make him hurt her, then maybe she's right. Maybe it is bad. As he realizes this, Brian drives away down the street. Back at the home of Ben and Christy Ross, Christy interrupts Ben again. She's been thinking: no questions asked, Ben really has to end The Wave tomorrow. If Ben doesn't end it, Principal Owens will. And if that's the case, the parents won't trust Ben anymore, and probably won't want him teaching their kids. What's more, Christy could lose her job over this, too. People will think that she had something to do with The Wave. (Guilty by association, right? ) Ben agrees (finally! ), but he doesn't know how he can end it in just one day. Well, too bad, sport – you'll have to come up with something. It's reflection time. Ben starts to think about how The Wave has changed him. He admits to himself that he enjoyed being thought of as a leader and having a bodyguard. He enjoyed the little bit of power that being the leader of The Wave gave him. It turns out that this little lesson in power is teaching him a thing or two as well. Ah, the teacher becomes the student. Suddenly, Ben gets an idea of how he might be able to end this the right way. He tells Christy his plan and hopes beyond hope that it will work. Christy goes to bed as Ben goes over the plan in his mind. When he's finally satisfied, he decides to try to get some rest. But not so fast! As he's turning off the lights, the doorbell rings. It's Laurie Saunders and David Collins, saying that they have to speak with him. It's urgent. He invites them in and listens to their concerns about The Wave. In this moment, Ben realizes that his experiment was actually a success. All he wanted was to show his students a little bit about what it was like to live in Nazi Germany. It worked. Ben promises Laurie and David that he will stop The Wave, but he won't tell them his plan. He's worried that word will get out; and if The Wave members are going to end things themselves, they can't know about his plan ahead of time. He asks them to trust him. Ben also asks them if they know any two people who have absolutely nothing to do with The Wave. Laurie tells him that Alex Cooper and Carl Block from The Grapevine are completely Wave- free, unlike most of the other students at Gordon High. One last thing: Ben begs Laurie and David not to tell anybody they've talked to him. They need to go to school tomorrow and act like nothing unusual is going on. What on earth does he have up his sleeve? Chapter 16 As the chapter opens, Ben is sweating while Principal Owens yells at him about The Wave. Ben admits that he made a mistake. He thinks he can make things right, but he needs Principal Owens to give him one day to do it. Fine. Owens will let him handle it, as long as he promises that it will be over today. But if things get any worse, Ben is outta here. Fired. In history class that day, Ben tells his students that there will be a Wave rally that afternoon at five. Only Wave members are allowed to come. Then he drops a bomb: he tells them that Wave isn't just going on at Gordon High. Over the past week, teachers all over the U. S. have been teaching The Wave. In fact, the U. is in a sorry state, and he thinks that The Wave is the only thing that can save the country. David doesn't like the sound of this. It sure doesn't seem like Ben is going to end The Wave. Laurie agrees: she looks over at him, obviously frightened. What is going on?! Jumping up from his seat, David starts to blurt out that Ben said he'd end The Wave. Before he can get it out, Ben stops him and tells him to sit down. Continuing, Ben says that tonight, during the rally, "the founder and national leader of The Wave will appear on cable television to announce the formation of a National Youth Wave Movement! " (16. 20). The class cheers, but Laurie and David can't take it. They stand up and tell everybody that Ben is a liar. Ben tells Robert take over the class while he takes Laurie and David to the principal's office. And as the three of them walk toward the principal's office, they can hear the students in history class chanting The Wave mottos. Laurie and David accuse Ben of lying to them last night: he promised to end The Wave and it sure doesn't seem like he's doing it. Ben assures them that he's ending it, and he begs them to trust him. But it's not that easy: they really don't buy it. Still, Ben says he hopes everything will be clear tonight. David and Laurie wait forever in the principal's office. They are sure this is some kind of trick to prevent them from trying to stop The Wave. When they finally get in to see Principal Owens, they tell him their fears. He doesn't seem worried, though, and assure them that everything will be okay. They are not cool with this. David doesn't want to be there to watch whatever is about to go down, so he and Laurie both decide to leave school for the day. As they walk away, David tells Laurie that he feels really bad: he can't believe he got sucked into The Wave. Laurie holds his hand and comforts him. He only got into it because of the good things about it. That's the problem: the people in The Wave can't see the bad parts. What really confuses David is that so many people think The Wave is a positive force. He wonders if it's possible that he and Laurie are the ones who are wrong. Laurie and David hang out in the park, and she remembers how he snapped back to himself the night before. His love for her made him forget The Wave. In fact, it's kind of amazing that something so bad is actually bringing them closer together. Cue big hug. Aw. As they sit in the park, Laurie remembers the day Ben showed them the film of the Nazi concentration camps, the day before Ben started the Wave. She asks David if he remembers telling her that something like that could never happen again. (We remember! This is where Laurie could have given him a big, fat "I told you so" but she holds back. ) David says he just can't believe all of this is happening. Apparently, their conversation triggers an idea in Laurie and she says they should go back to school: she needs to see what Mr. Ross does with her own eyes. David is afraid to go back: he's worried that he might get sucked into The Wave again somehow. Laurie says she's sure he won't. Chapter 17 Ben is amazed as he walks toward the auditorium. The Wave members had completely organized this rally in just a few hours. That's quite a feat. Robert, all spiffed up in a suit and tie, meets Ben. Ben tells him that all the doors need to be locked and guarded during the rally. Christy comes up to Ben and wishes him good luck. She believes in him, and he wishes he believed in himself just as much. Robert gives Ben the go: all the doors are now locked and guarded. Ben walks up onto the stage and stands between two big TVs. The crowd goes wild as they chant The Wave mottos. Once the room as calmed down, Ben tells them, "In a moment, our national leader will address us" (17. 22). Then he tells Robert to turn on the TVs. Meanwhile, Laurie and David are trying to find a way into the rally. Inside the auditorium, the students are getting anxious. The TV screens are blank. As he watches his students, Ben realizes how much they want a leader, someone to tell them what to do. The biggest lesson he wants them to learn is this: "to question thoroughly, never put your faith in anyone's hands blindly" (17. Suddenly, one student has had too much: he jumps up and says, "There is no leader, is there! " (17. 29). Without hesitation, two guards remove that student out of the auditorium. During the confusion, David and Laurie manage to make their way in. They watch as Ben tells the other students that there is a Wave leader. Right on cue, Alex Cooper turns on the projector and Carl Block opens the stage curtains so the screen is visible. "There is your leader! " (17. There are sounds of shock from the crowd. (Suspense! ) On the projection screen is a giant image of Adolf Hitler, leader of the Nazis. We'll let that one sit for a minute. Okay, ready? Here we go: Laurie recognizes it as the film that Ben had shown in class last week. She's excited. Now it's time for Ben to break the news: there is no National Wave Youth Movement, and no leader. But at one time, there w as such a movement, and Hitler was the leader. He asks the students if they now understand where they were headed: "How far would you have gone? Take a look at your future! " (17. 35). Some of the Nazi soldiers on the film are even younger than the students in the auditorium. Ben continues: "You traded your freedom for equality. But, you turned your equality into superiority over non-Wave members. You accepted the group's will no matter who you had to hurt to do it. " (17. He says they would have all made excellent Nazis(! ). Now maybe they can understand how the German people allowed Hitler to murder millions of people. He hopes that the members of The Wave will remember this lesson forever and never again blindly follow a leader. Now that's a doozy. Realizing that it sounds like they are the ones to blame for all of this, Ben switches the topic to himself. He says he's very sorry. He knows that this has hurt them. He wanted to teach them something important, but things went further than he ever imagined they could. And you know what? They aren't the only ones who learned a lesson. Ben, too, got something out of this: he had become way too involved in his own experiment and his role as leader. The students in the auditorium are obviously shocked. Some are even crying. Ben tells Laurie and David that they will use the next class period to talk about what happened, and then go back to the usual history class. He says he's going to skip this lesson in his future classes. Good call, Ben. Ben watches until all the students have left. He is so grateful it's over, and that it ended the way it did. He's about to leave, but he hears someone crying. Poor kid, he thinks. He goes up to Robert and compliments him on the way he looks. Then he asks if Robert wants to grab something to eat: they need to talk. And that, Shmoopers, is the end. Be sure and check out "What's Up With the Ending" for some discussion.

Fala fala. My skull felt like John Henry and the steam engine were in a race to see who could burrow through it the fastest. I ached all over and it was like every nerve fiber was turned up to 11. My hair hurt. It was like the world's worst hangover and more. Yet I was fairly certain I hadn't been drinking. I remembered clocking out from work and taking the bus home. The closest bus stop was on the exact opposite side of Thompson Park so, like usual, I cut across the park towards my apartment. This time, though, I had stopped because there were these weird lights floating overhead. Then I had been illuminated by a shaft of light and... Oh. My eyes snapped open. I was in a spartan white room. The walls seemed to emit a soft white light. I was also butt naked and strapped to a steel operating table. I clenched my butt cheeks together in a desperate bid to avoid what I figured was scheduled for the main event. "... rhythms... alert... fully integrated, " a voice sounded from nowhere. I was only catching a word here or there. Not because the voice was low either. No, it boomed loud enough to make my throbbing skull feel like it was about to explode. I cringed in my straps and tried in vain to release my arms so I could clamp them over my ears. Maybe someone out there noticed my reaction and took pity on me because when the voice spoke again the volume was at a less ear splitting level. "..... asynchronous... presently, " the voice said again. Yeah, it wasn't my imagination after all. I was struggling to follow the words because they weren't in English. They weren't in any language I ever head before either. I wasn't even sure that the "words" could be made by a human throat. Yet I understood them. Sort of. When the voice spoke up a third time I concentrated on the sounds and found that eased comprehension. the symbiotic... but only in the language areas. Extraordinary, really. The Chimera really did.... work of art if I do say so myself, " the voice concluded. I couldn't tell if the voice was male or female. The inflection and tone of voice was all wrong too. It made the voice sound almost synthetic but I knew instinctively that wasn't true. The speaker was very much alive but, I was now certain, not human. After an agonizing moment where nothing happened, part of the wall ahead of me dissolved and a pair of figures stepped into the room. The first thought that occurred to me is that, apparently, hazmats suits look the same all across the universe. The pair were definitely not human. The proportions and shapes were all wrong. But the suits? They would be right at home at the CDC. Walking balloons with gloves and boots and a clear plastic face plate. The face behind the plastic looked like a shriveled up apple with too many eyes. The eyes were like a spider's. Two large compound eyes with smaller sensors scattered around its head. The taller one opened its toothless maw and that same voice spoke up again. should be integrated enough to allow mutual comprehension, " the voice said, "But there is no way of knowing as we are dealing with eons of neural drift patterns. Still, you can try. " The shorter one stepped forward and addressed me. "Can you comprehend me? " it asked. "Evening, " I greeted, "How's Elvis doing these days? " The two figures stared at one another. "The symbiotic matrix must have affixed itself irregularly, " the taller one concluded, "I was afraid of this. We may be completely unable to communicate with it. " The shorter one looked back at me. "Are you able to comprehend me? " it asked, "If not then we shall have to dispose of you and find another subject for interrogation. " I didn't like the sound of the word dispose so I opted for tact this time. "I understand you just fine, " I said, "But if you bring out a probe without the decency to lube it up first you can forget asking for a second date. " The two regarded each other. "Extraordinary, " the taller one said, "It seems to be able to understand us but it's like half its words are complete gibberish to us. Perhaps the symbiote hasn't completely updated its lexicon of their language to the ship. " The smaller one considered this. "Perhaps it is a token gesture of hostility? " it mused, "A war cry or a declaration of defiance? " "It's called sarcasm, " I called out, "Better get used to it because if this is how your make introductions on your world you are in for a lot of it. " They both regarded me. "I do believe, " the taller one said, "That the symbiote is linked. You may interrogate the subject, Captain. " The shorter one, the Captain I now realized, strode forward until he was standing beside me. "There are over 7 billion of your species, " he said, "How is this possible? " "Well, " I said, "When a mommy and a daddy love each other very much and Barry White is singing in the background-" "Captain, " the taller one interrupted, "I believe the gibberish is a defense mechanism. He is likely unaware of the Barricade Worlds status. " The captain smacked his lipless mouth a few times before turning to face me once more. "How has your species survived? " it asked me. "We wonder the same thing, " I informed it. "Then you know of the Khrikll plague? " One word did not translate. I just looked at the captain. " "How did your species survive this? " it asked. "I have no idea what you are talking about, " I said. The captain looked at the taller one who I now thought of as the Science Officer. "It is likely telling the truth, " the Science Officer concluded, "I find no traces of the plague present in its body. Yet, oddly, there is evidence of infections with several related diseases. It seems to have developed and immunity to them. " Again the lipless mouth smacked. A sign of anxiety, I realized. I was starting to pick up elements of their body language. Curious. The captain faced me again. "The infantry species, " it asked, "What happened? " "What are we talking about? " The wall before me flashed and became a screen of some sort. Projected on this screen was a rather familiar looking figure. Well, familiar in the sense that I had seen it before in museums. But usually they were wearing animal skins and carrying clubs. The mechanized armor and high tech assault rifle were an interesting twist. "That's a Neanderthal! " I blurted. The two aliens regarded one another and looked back at me. "What happened to them? " the captain asked. I tried to shrug but the straps made it difficult. "We're not sure, " I admitted, "They seemed to have lived with our kind for a few thousand years and just dwindled away. Some scientists think they interbred with us. " The captain's mouth smacked more vigorously. Agitation. "Only the commandos have survived? " it asked. "Commandos? " I asked. "Your species! The Chimera Commandos! " "I have no idea what you are talking about. " "Captain! " it was the science officer, "Perhaps if I gave this creature some background it might facilitate our interrogation? " The captain's mouth jittered, but it stepped back and allowed the Science Officer to take its place. The screen flashed and I saw a picture of Earth floating in the inky blackness of space. "Your world, " the Science Officer said unnecessarily. "Nice place, " I told it. "It is a hell, " it corrected me, "A rock with unstable tectonic plates, destructive weather patterns, and aggressive fauna. Which is perhaps why the Chimera used it as their personal petri dish. " "You keep talking about the Chimera. Who is that? " "Genetic tinkers, " it told me, "An ancient race from the far side of the galaxy. They manipulate their own genes and the others they come in contact with. Trying to make the perfect species. Who did not join them willingly were conquered. " "They sound unpleasant, " I agreed. The screen flashed again. This time to an image of multiple flying saucers firing energy beams at a t-rex with cannons strapped to its sides. "The Second Wave Invasion, " the Science Officer informed me, "The attacked our ground forces with these dragons. We eventually traced their origin back to your planet. We thought we destroyed their weapon factory when we launched an asteroid at the planet to destroy all life. Without their dragons to supplement their ranks they were forced to retreat. " The image flashed back to the image of the Neanderthal in battle armor. But the image was now zoomed out and I saw another person behind him. A more modern looking human wearing lighter armor. "The ground troops from the Third Wave Invasion, " the science officer concluded, "Imagine our surprise when we traced their origin back to the same planet! " "Our bad? " I said. "Your species were extremely versatile shock troops, " it went on, "Exceeding violent, easy to heal, strong, fast, limber, and, most of all, numerous. Your biology made you highly resistant to psionic and chemical attacks. We were forced to create a biological weapon to wipe out your species. A virus so dangerous that we have blockaded your entire sector for eons waiting for the disease to run its course before investigating the effectiveness. Now we find you not only survived but thrived! More numerous than ever! " I tried to shrug again. "Healthy living and a lot of porn, " I said. "Another defense mechanism, " the Science Officer declared, "But I believe you understand us. Despite our best efforts to destroy your hell world it seems to insist on providing the most vicious monsters known to the galaxy. Which is why we are here. " "To try to wipe us out again? " I asked. "Hardly, " the captain said, "Early scout ships from the far quadrants are alerting us to movement among the Chimera strongholds. They are scaling up. " Both of them jittered their mouths. "The Fourth Wave? " I guessed. They recoiled from me but didn't deny it. Oh boy. Looks like things are going to get interesting real soon. Part II Part III.
