lyrics

Chapter 4: πβ

Samuel’s mind cannot turn from the previous night’s dream. Yet, another more tangible distraction is about to take place. While in Occupational and Civic Reinvestment Training, Samuel meets someone named Avogadro claiming to be a member of a secret guild that believes that the history and ideology of Dome City is a front put on by a conspiracy of government, media and economic institutions.

Avogadro pulls his sleeve back to reveal a forbidden skin marking resembling a combination of letters from an ancient script. He learns of a backdoor out of the facility from his mysterious co-worker, who invites Samuel to test his conspiracy tale by taking that way home. Samuel debates with himself deeply during his Reinvestment Training and is conflicted. What he knows to be true does not coincide with the accusations of Avogadro, a stranger, truly, who has nonetheless piqued a not-wholly-unfamiliar sense in him: curiosity.

Going through the backdoor, Samuel happens upon a kind of control room. Avogadro said that a Secret Number is being broadcast through the various media streams that cycle constantly to the population of the city via the standard cranial data ports. This number, known only as Πβ, is a way that the leaders of Dome City maintain social control.
Samuel realizes then that he is looking at that very number on a large display screen at the front of the control room. He makes a quick exit so as not to be detected.
