Alone with nothing to lose, Randell made up his mind. Life would not be worth living if he could not figure out the mystery calling to him from inside the crystal. It was worth the sacrifice...all he had was his own life. And his mind.
The love of his wife had gone. The respect of his peers... stripped. His children had forgotten him. This work was all he had. It was everything. What damage he would endure in the process of finding the truth, it would be worth it. And whatever accolades would be gained from his discoveries, he would welcome them. He deserved it all.
Recoiling at the thought with fake humility he said to himself, "I give it up to God."
