Tally feels betrayed and whilst roaming the evacuated Diego hospital gets a ping from Shay. Shay has found Zane lying in critical condition in the hospital. Despite the medical staff's efforts, Zane's brain damage is too much to repair, so he dies. Tally is distraught and decides to go back to her city to confess to Dr.
Cable, hoping that this will end the war. Tally does this and sneakily cures Dr. Cable, who comes to her rescue when Tally is about to be de-specialized. Tally escapes and finds David. At the end of the book, Tally sends a ping to Shay, Peris, and Maddy regarding her future with David as the new Special Circumstances, determined to protect nature from human expansion. Tally and David have been traveling all over the world and finding mysterious, empty mass drivers hidden within mountains.
Andrew Simpson Smith reports to Tally that he has seen strange, alien-like creatures salvaging metal from the Rusty Ruins near her home city, but soon after, the strange beings kidnap him.
The new Special Circumstances search the planet for him and his kidnappers when they see Aya Fuse's City Killer story.
Aya had found a mass driver filled with odd metal cylinders and discovered that they were laced with smart matter, allowing them to transform into a missile-like shape. In her story, Aya concludes that the mass drivers are a type of weapon that can launch the missiles and destroy every city in the world.
Tally senses an opportunity to get close to the alien-like beings and just two hours after the story kicks, Tally sends Aya a ping warning her that the new Special Circumstances is on the way. Tally asks the Cutters for some extra backup and is obliged by Shay and Fausto. Together, they easily break into the maximum-security mansion where Aya is hiding.
Amazed that an Ugly already has five rooms to her name, they nevertheless explain to Aya and her friends that they are all in danger of getting kidnapped by the weird beings. The Cutters all put on Ugly disguises and keep Aya and her friends close by riding two to a hoverboard.
They are soon chased by hovercars flown by the inhuman beings, all according to Tally's plan. Although the Cutters make their struggles look realistic, they allow everyone to get kidnapped. Tally faces down Aya's anger at being used as bait with icy calm, explaining that Aya, Hiro , Ren , and Frizz are safer with the Cutters than out on their own. Soon enough, two Inhumans visit them. One named Udzir politely apologizes for kidnapping them but insists that its necessary for the Inhumans to remain hidden for now.
Unfortunately, the more the Cutters lie, the more Frizz becomes agitated. Physically incapable of keeping anything secret, he blurts out the true identity of Tally, Shay, and Fausto. After a moment of shocked silence, Tally launches herself at the Inhumans and incapacitates them all with Shay and Fausto's help. She struggles to fly the hovercar however and must settle for autopilot, which is programmed to bring them straight into the Inhumans' hoverport.
Shay straps some parts of a hoverball rig onto her arms, takes Ren and dives out the window. Fausto does the same with Hiro. Tally is prepared to take Aya but doesn't care about taking Frizz, especially after he explains Radical Honesty to her. But when he agrees that they'd be safer without him and urges them to leave him behind, Tally reluctantly brings him along.
They head for the tallest ruin, picking their way through the tangle of the jungle as they argue about brain surgery. Tally thinks Frizz is too lazy and courage-missing to learn how to tell the truth on his own, and he thinks she runs away from her problems by hiding out in the wild instead of facing them. He suggests that she shouldn't give up on loving someone just because the last person she kissed died.
Finally, Tally can't take their agonizing slowness anymore and steals a couple hoverball rigs from some Inhumans. As she knocks them out, Aya notices one of her victims start to fall the long way down to the ground and sends a ping to her hovercam , Moggle , telling it to catch the unconscious woman. When they tell her what they've done, Tally coldly explains that sending a ping could allow the Inhumans to trace their location and rebukes Aya for sending her hovercam after her at all, but is glad that the inhuman was rescued from falling to her death.
Even so, Tally refuses to let Aya collect Moggle and she's forced to leave it behind. Now able to sail above the jungle, they reach the tallest ruin in no time. Along the way, Frizz mentions that its possible the Inhumans aren't making weapons, just trying to harvest as much metal as possible to slow the Expansion. Of course, that still leaves the question of what they're planning on doing with the metal, but if the Inhumans truly are trying to protect the planet rather than destroy it, Tally might be on their side once they stop kidnapping people.
The trio soon reunites with the others, including David. Aya is confused at first that he's an Ugly, not a Special Cutter, but her questions are silenced by Tally's death glare. David has brought a radio transmitter in case Tally wants to call for backup, but she decides that they should be certain what the Inhumans are planning to do first. She and the rest of the new Special Circumstances go out to explore the place and get some answers, ordering Aya and her friends to stay put.
Eventually, they find hundreds of missiles. The sight convinces them that the Inhumans are going to bomb every city in the world, and so Tally gives the order to destroy them. They manage to obliterate a handful of the rockets before Aya suddenly pings Tally, frantically trying to explain that the Inhumans are not trying to blow up the world.
Instead, they're hoping to launch themselves into space where they'll live in orbital habitats. Tally, angry that Aya has disobeyed her again , is disinclined to believe her. Only when David thinks that Aya may be right does Tally call off the attack. Later, they all go to Nana Love's Thousand Faces party.
Despite Tally's grumbling, she and her friends attend primarily to show their support for the Inhumans, now known as the Extraterrestrials. It doesn't take long, however, for Tally to become uncomfortable with all the attention and she slips away with David to the camera-free garden, where they enjoy a private moment hidden in the shadows.

Only by making a whole new world, which is just what Maddy and Az had begun to do. You react to symmetry, skin tone, the shape of my eyes. She scanned the captives, looking for Shay and David.
The familiar faces in the crowd were haggard, dirty, crumpled by shock and defeat, but Tally realized that she no longer thought of them as ugly.
It was the cold expressions of the Specials, beautiful though they were, that seemed horrific to her now. Just most of them. Some of them must have had the right idea.
It was hard to think of the Rusties as actual people, rather than as just an idiotic, dangerous, and sometimes comic force of history. But there were human beings down there, whatever was left of them after a couple of hundred years, still sitting in their blackened cars, as if still trying to escape their fate.
David nodded. Nothing left to itself. Everything turned into a bribe, a warning, or a lesson. But that was all ugly stuff. Crazy love and jealousy and needing to rebel against the city. But you grow up, you know? People had their minds changed without their knowledge. As doctors, we took an ancient oath never to do anything like that. Plot Summary. All Themes Conformity vs.

The Rabbit Pen Quotes. The Oil Plague Quotes. The most affectionate thing that she does for me is that she makes time for me every other day despite her busy schedule. She also fulfills my need for control since I have a say in many of the things she does in life, ranging from choosing clothes for an evening party to more complex things like dating and breaking up with her romantic partners. I believe that our relationship is symmetrical because we mirror each other in personality.
She and I have the same choice of food, clothing, and almost everything in life. Very rarely do…. No one ever had to guess where they stood with my mom — they knew. None of that changed as we grew older, especially when she became a grandmother. Any time the grandkids were around, at least one of them was sitting in her lap enjoying the love from their Nana. These were just some of the wonderful words spoken during her funeral…. We laughed, boy, did we laughed, because to her laughter is the truths indicator we were giving lives.
We talked about everything, including this, which we thought was going to be decades from now. But we talked, we talked about the end of our lives, the college that our children will attend, the clothing we would wear, the food that we would cook, the advantageous we were going to take. I stand here strong because of her! I will always miss Tessie's voice, her touch and her smile.
Tessie always looked at life like she saw it for the first time, a glitter in her eyes and a smile on her face. When she finally learns about the brain damage and becomes a motivated rebel, we're shaking our fists right along with her. In other words, because she's reluctant to rebel at first, we get to take the same mental trip as she does.
But Tally doesn't exactly start out as a law-abiding citizen. From the first time we meet her, Tally is pulling a trick—breaking in to New Pretty Town. And we learn that this isn't her first time. She likes pranks. When Tally and Shay aren't arguing about the pretty surgery, what are they doing? Pulling tricks: pretending to fall to frighten younger uglies, riding hoverboards at night, riding outside of the city, etc. So it's no surprise when we get to the end of the book and we read this: "Tally smiled.
At least she was causing trouble to the end" Because it sure seems like Tally's favorite thing in the world is causing trouble. Or as David puts it, the scratches on her face tell a story about her: "you take risks" That's totally Tally: she's a risk-taking trickster. And she has to be a trickster to survive here because she's the underdog: one person fighting a whole organization made up of superhumanly powerful people.
The Specials of Special Circumstances are stronger, faster, and more dangerous than Tally. All she has is her tricks and a hoverboard—against a police force with hover cars. In that way, she's like Bugs Bunny: the other guy always has the more powerful gun, but Bugs knows how to trick the other guy into making some mistake.
That's what Tally does when she makes up stories to tell Dr. Cable or when she breaks out from the Smoke with a hoverboard after the Specials invade.
