‘And if you’re hypnotised long enough, you’ll be brainwashed forever.’ At once, every cell in Kip’s body snapped awake. ‘Brainwashed forever?’ he yelled. ‘How long do we have to be hypnotised before that happens?’ ‘A while for highly trained people like Space Scouts,’ Zara replied. ‘With others, well…you just never know.’ She looked at Finbar. His eyelids were lowering. Finbar’s wolf hearing is extra-sensitive! Kip realised. He fell asleep before me last time. And he hasn’t had all the special Space Scout anti-hypnosis training I’ve had. Still, Kip knew even he couldn’t resist the flowers forever. He had to stay awake – and make sure Finbar did too. When did I last feel super-awake? he asked himself. It was during Space Scout training. Those vertical wall sprints and rocketboot- assisted high jumps had been tough. I couldn’t have done it without EarTunes! EarTunes were songs played directly into the eardrum. All Space Scouts had EarTunes chips implanted in their earlobes on the first day of training.
