         Adie opened her eyes with a deep breath, inhaling as much air as her lungs could hold.    She touched the spot on her breast where the bullet had hit her, where she had felt the pain.        But she was unhurt. There was no sign of a bullet wound.          A head appeared, hovering over her face. It was Ratman.    Rage overcame her and she reached out for his throat with the desperate wish to choke him until all color disappeared from his hideous face.                    But the guards held her down before she could do him any harm.         He coughed slightly, speaking in a thin voice.                "Your brain has been diagnosed unfit for the blueprint.                          The simulation is now over."
