Chapter 9 – notes.

-          David and Rosalind discover that Petra is also telepathic when she almost drowns, but is saved because she telepathically cries out for help.

-          Surrounding people question how David and Rosalind knew that Petra was drowning, and they casually lie, by saying that Petra’s cries were ridiculously loud, and they’re surprised that no one heard.

-           David’s dream reoccurs at night, but this time Petra is Joseph’s victim.

-          David is frightened of someone finding out about Petra’s ability, and he and the other group members try to telepathically contact Petra, and warn her, but they were unable to connect with her.

-          David realizes that Petra is not aware of her abilities yet, and she was only able to contact him and Rosalind earlier, due to the great danger she was put in. David thinks about trying to explain to her in person about her ability, but decides against it, as it might expose both of them to more danger.

-          David decides telling Petra when she’s older.

-          Pg.85 – Rosalind mentions that Petra is now six, and in the previous chapter she was just born. This shows time speculation.

-          David has flashbacks to last year, when there was a huge number of increasing deviations.

-          35 fields had to be destroyed, 3 of which were Josephs, and 3 were Angus Morton’s.

-          Jacob shares his anger about the huge amount of mutations with David.

-          Jacob believes that Waknut is not doing enough to keep their society “pure”, and God is punishing them.

-          Jacob believes that it’s the start of the new age tribulation

-          The high winds, and the radiation carried over by the wind into Waknut, is the real reason of all the mutations.

-          People tended to look for scapegoats, to blame all the deviations on.

-          Anne (a member of the group),is getting married.
