Line 20:
At some point during their training, the X5's were forced to participate in an exercise involving the hunting down and killing of a prisoner, which they accomplished with ruthless effectiveness. Ben, in particular, was exhilarated by the hunt, and even Lydecker was alarmed by the savagery of their attack. Later, during the night, the X5's climbed up onto the roof of the barracks, where Ben showed them the teeth of the late prisoner, which he had pulled out as an offering to the Blue Lady.
 
One day, during a drill, onehis ofbrother the young X5'sJack collapsed from a seizure and was taken away by the guards. The others never saw him again, and Ben would later say that he had been taken to the Bad Place, where he would be slowly eaten up by the "Nomlies".
 
Eventually, the X5's lost patience and rebelled, escaping the facility and fleeing into the forest, where they split up and left Manticore far behind.
