"Two volunteers! WONDERFUL! I will have a hard time deciding between both of you, so I'm going to wait for your friends to vote. I have patience. Plenty at that too. I can wait for minutes, hours, days, until my job comes. I have nothing to lose myself, for now. There's nothing you can all do and I already locked the doors so nobody can come in...or out. Take your time, folks! One of you will contribute to the science by me...Head of Death...or as properly said...KALLEH-E MARG!"
It was, for the first time, a dire situation for the squad. Damned if they did and damned if they didn't. Either way, Head of Death was not very encouraging. His mocking veneer of politeness was contributing to the horror of the room. Alina was silent, defiant at that. She would spit in the direction in the madman's face. "Oh, we have a feisty one here. I'd like that. Still, I'm waiting for the final result. If a tie is indeed reached, I will flip a coin. Head for the first man, tails for the second man! Even if your group sends a rescue mission, I have preparations. This won't be easy."
