"BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!" A shrill alarm erupted from the Feierbahahs. They seemed to have sensed Anna's memory intrusion, their expressions a mask of extreme shock.
"Heh heh, how interesting. They even have a mental shield. But such little tricks don't work on me. Hmm… let's see… My god, they're actually cloned from eggs! The Foundation's genetic modification technology is truly formidable."
"Don't waste time on this useless stuff. Look directly at their memories from after they reached adulthood."
"What's the rush? I know what I'm doing."
While Anna was examining their memories, Charles suddenly noticed their complexions were turning a deathly, ashen gray.
He lunged forward, forcefully prying open the mouth of one Feierbahah.
He saw that one of the man's molars was shattered. A rich, metallic stench billowed out, stinging Charles's eyes.
"Charles, don't breathe it in! That's deadly poison!"
