Chapter 21: Tearing

Through months of Samuel’s storytelling, the Solution is secretly revealed to the population of Dome City. Many people individually are moved to prepare themselves for the transition in a manner that is hidden from the institutions and authority structures of Dome City. Unnoticed by most, the industrial wheels begin to turn in a different direction. There is a tension sensed in the city amongst all of its residents, like the buildup of energy just before an explosion rips apart what is closest, the holding of a collective breath. Each citizen, from the towers of Wonderland to the depths of The Dregs, senses that they have a duty to transform their world, to challenge the rigid ways and summon life from the dispirited souls of a city full of individuals driven mad by Πβ, turned into cheerful zombies, feasting on the media flesh of a dead civilization. All sense that it is time to challenge the powers that be.

One day, Samuel feels compelled to go to the room in the Occupational and Civic Reinvestment Training Facility where he first discovered the Πβ signal. There he finds again the control room with the enormous screen that is displaying the Πβ signal. He walks over to the console below the screen and, armed with the Six Secrets revealed to him in his encounter with The Beast, enters the code that transforms the Πβ signal into a revelatory release entering the cranial data ports of all citizens simultaneously. The ensuing explosion of realization creates a buzz of activity as each citizen activates the plans that they have subconsciously been working toward for months as a result of Samuel’s AirNet stories. Each citizen begins to turn on the machinery they have been transforming these past few months, inspired by Samuel’s stories.

Then there is a momentary quiet as all movement comes to a halt. The city stops, as if time is suspended, a united consciousness utterly focused on a common end. Suddenly, the Dome City shakes violently, as if the very ground beneath them trembles at the might of an entire population woken from a terrifying, brilliant dream, ready to rise up and overcome. Samuel runs out the back door exit of the control room to go outside near the edge of the Dome and see what is happening. The quake continues, yet buildings stand firm as the landscape outside of the Dome appears to slowly sink around them. A great cloud of dust and smoke rises from the area surrounding the Dome, which continues to fall below the Dome City. But then Samuel realizes that the ground isn’t falling out from around them – rather, the entire Dome City is rising, rocketing up and off of the face of the planet! As the Dome City rises further, Samuel believes he can see green jungle below past the desolation of the Barrens that once surrounded the now airborne Dome City. A red beacon shines from the top of the Dome, guiding their way into the heavens. Transcending the gravity that once held them firm to the ground and climbing into outer space, Samuel notices out of the corner of his eye a glint of Novalight shining off of a twin Dome that remains in the jungle valley far below.
