How It All Goes Down
- Despite planning out all of the scenarios in his head of how he'd react when the door finally opened, Thomas ends up doing nothing.
- In comes Rat Man, the guy who gave everyone the whole Scorch Trials spiel back in Book Two.
- So, this guy casually strolls in telling Thomas he has good news, but Thomas is understandably ticked off.
- Rat Man tells Thomas that he still has the Flare—but WICKED's data is almost complete.
- Rat Man also tells Thomas the whole plan of WICKED: analyze the kids' brain patterns, build a blueprint from them, then develop a cure for the Flare from the blueprint.
- Oh, remember the whole Thomas has the Flare thing? Rat Man decides to drop a bomb and tell Thomas he's actually immune to the Flare.
- Apparently, there are people like Thomas out in the public called Munies, and they're universally hated by the masses.
