"Psychwash them probably. It's simple and there's never any trouble afterward." Gil answered.
The leader stood up and addressed the three individuals before him.
"We have decided that you are to be sent to the psych laboratories!"
The Rebel woman instinctively raised her hand to her mouth in fear. Nancy and the other man stiffened but their glances remained steady.
"We will give you a day to think about what is to happen to you. If, in that time, you decide to come to us with information concerning your Rebel groups—their whereabouts, their plans and so on, you may do so. Otherwise our plans for you will be carried out!"
He sat down. "Let me remind you that the fate of those who have been psychwashed is not very pleasant. They no longer think. They move when they are told to move. They do only what they are told to do. They don't read books and they don't paint pictures. They—."
"They are not very different from the rest of the people in Dreamtown, are they?" Nancy interrupted.
"Take them out of here!" the man screamed.
Nancy's remark created angry excitement among the examiners and as they discussed it among themselves Brant and Gil watched the three people being led swiftly from the room.
