Plot[]
The aliens are in jeopardy, as the Advocacy's collective counsel is crippled from the weakened state of one of the three. It seems that a dark cloud is lifting, but only Harrison believes they remain a threat.
Synopsis[]
Needing medicine for a sick Advocate, the aliens steal human brains. Their transmissions stop. Everyone except Harrison concludes that the aliens have gone. He links the brain thefts to alien activity. Sylvia Van Buren's strange drawings lead Harrison to a power plant where the aliens, processing the brains in a crystalline device, cure the Advocate and then leave.
