The Parasitized and the Immune?
"So Byron really was taken away by them. He must have realized they were the Star Gate Council when they took him away. Otherwise, he wouldn't have put up no resistance at all, or told Agu to hide." Thor thought.
Actually, Murich had made a fair point.
Thor thought of the Phantom Color World. If he hadn't also been a mass of twisted Fate Lines, the moment he saw the Phantom Color World's true form, he would have been blown apart by the vast, incomprehensible knowledge.
Pearl was in that situation, but the Death Herald Demon seemed to have given her somewhere to reside out of consideration for Thor.
Pearl's life form had probably changed completely by now. Whether that was good or bad, he couldn't say. In any case, Thor could tell she had lost some of her feelings and humanity.
After taking a moment to absorb all this, Thor asked Murich, "The Parasitized die, and the Immune seem to suffer mental problems, too. What does the Star Gate Council plan to do next?"
Murich didn't explain further. He lowered his eyes and bowed his head slightly. "I'm very sorry, Lord Thor, but the information beyond this point is confidential to the Star Gate. Without Lord Alik's permission, I can't tell you. If—if you're willing to join the Star Gate's Migration Experiment, I believe Lord Alik would be willing to share all our internal files with you."
Thor stood up. "I'm sorry, but I'm exhausted right now and don't have any spare time to take part in your experiment. Since it's confidential, I won't pry. But you should at least give Senior Byron back to me, shouldn't you? He may be Immune, but I don't think he'd want to take part in your Migration
