An unnamed Centauri telepath was hired by Malcolm to unlock memories in Brother Edward's mind. Brother Edward ran into the Centauri while on his way back to his temporary quarters in Brown Sector. Slightly confused by the incident, he had little time to think as he suddenly experienced a terrifying hallucination of a woman being murdered, a black rose left in her mouth, and words written in blood upon the wall. After this point, his behavior began to deteriorate as his mind became more troubled.
