The exterior lights overhead begin to shatter, one at a time. The falling shards of glass rain down around the plaza as the fading lights above disappear into the black of the night sky above. A final light, from within the hallway of the control center, beckons to them.
Outside, the stars shine brightly in the night sky above the bustling activity outside the dome. The starlight reflects off of the tattered glass veneer on top of the dome. The gentle night breeze outside calms to a still silence.
Within, a silent malevolence awakens from deep within. Reason and madness come to coexist once again on the sea of glass. Deeper into the void of the unconscious mind the whispers take root. From behind the cover of dream, the impossible takes its place within the convoluted reality that now comes to be. To the brave of heart comes life; for the fearful, death awaits with open arms.
