In the beginning of the book Thomas was very mad at the association he used to work for before he went into testing to find a cure. WICKED had done a lot to him. First off after weeks of restless and deadly testing he was locked in a room and isolated from all of his friends for a month. WICKED tried to control Thomas for evil and make him a murderer and even tried to kill him to get the cure for the flare. "Thomas fought desperately against it, straining to get control of his muscles. But something foreign had taken over his body" (Dashner 129). He even joined a group (The Right Arm) who's main purpose was to destroy WICKED. Thomas had good reasons to hate WICKED and their cause but he would always wonder, Why did I join and work for these people before testing? However, throughout the story, when more clues pointed to the darkness of The Right Arm, Thomas was on the brink of realizing why he had helped WICKED.
Thomas reentered the WICKED headquarters for a Right Arm mission and he was forced to have fatal surgery for a cure. He went to sleep thinking it was the end of his life. He woke up to a letter on a desk in the room from the leader of WICKED. "I was able to stop the procedure and save your life, we have enough data for the cure... I'm asking you to help all of the immunes and your friends in getting out of this facility and meeting in the flat trans. Here we will make a stronghold for the immunes" (Dashner 276). On the other hand, the right hand was going to blow the whole building up whether there were people in it or not. This really changed Thomas' view from what is was the whole Maze Runner trilogy. He went on to help the immunes escape and go through dangerous conditions where living was a roll of the dice.
