The Scorch Trials Chapter 47

By James Dashner

Chapter 47

Time for a Thomas-dream. He's fifteen, and he and Teresa are staring at a massive bank of screens.
Teresa says, "I can't believe they're all dead" (47.4). Hmm, a promising statement.
Teresa's referring to the original Creators. Apparently, they all died.
Thomas then says, "All that matters now are the patterns. The killzone. Nothing else" (47.14).
Okay, so those things are clearly really important, but Thomas still has no idea what they are. Then he wakes up.
When Thomas wakes up, Harriet and Sonya are staring at him, and they tell him they want to know what he knows.
Thomas figures now is a time to possibly get out of this sticky situation, especially since Teresa has gone to scout the area.
Thomas promises he'll tell Harriet and Sonya everything—because why not?—as long as the girls tell him everything they know, too.
The girls are skeptical about Teresa, so Thomas thinks he might be able to join forces with them. Or at least convince them not to kill him.
The girls agree and then go over to fetch the rest of the girls. Story time.
