But before that can happen, Berk-her former Pod mate who is being groomed as a Scientist-steps in and persuades the Scientists to keep Thalli alive as a test subject.
Seen as a threat to the harmony of her Pod, Thalli is taken to the Scientists for immediate annihilation. Thalli has kept her malformation secret from those who have monitored her for most of her life, but when she receives an ancient piece of music to record as her community’s assigned musician, she can no longer keep her emotions secreted away. The Ten scientists who survived the nuclear war that destroyed the world above believe that emotion was at the core of what went wrong-and they have genetically removed it from the citizens they have since created. Thalli is different than others in The State. The toxic gas that will complete her annihilation is invading her bloodstream. Thalli has fifteen minutes and twenty-three seconds left to live.
