"This is it. Through this special Gel, we connect the consciousness—or voices—of everyone in the Kingdom into a vast network."

'Thinking it over,' he realized, 'a network like this would indeed allow an army to act with perfect synchronicity in battle, respond instantly to commands, and coordinate construction projects, doubling their efficiency.'
'To an outsider who didn't know the truth, wouldn't this high degree of synchronization and coordination look exactly like being "controlled" by a single, unified will?'
