The Grand Highblood will be taken out of his cell for surgery on Friday, June 8. He will be injected with a drug that will render him powerless and paralyzed, except in that he can speak. He will be able to feel the surgery, but will not feel pain from it. His forehead will be cut open and his brain exposed, then injected twice: once with green fluid and once with tyrian purple fluid. His forehead will then be replaced with a clear, plastic-like covering, and his brain will slowly turn tyrian purple and green in color.

The Grand Highblood will recover enough to interact and use abilities within one hour. He will find his loyalties have transferred from Condesce to Jason, but he will be otherwise unchanged.
