“Jack stared in sheer amazement at the great cathedral of light. It was breathtakingly beautiful, but he still felt uneasy. Taken all together, the symbolism of the place could not have been clearer: the three pillars of science inside a military womb. You should never have agreed to this, a voice in his head said. This is not what science is for.” (Art by Josh Newton)
"Jack felt small and insignificant as they approached the huge hangar. In the growing darkness, the colossal structure reminded him of something out of a science-fiction movie, a monochromatic plated beast, one of the great sandworms of Dune." (Art by Josh Newton)
"Admiral Curtiss tried to process the incredible scene. The landscape would have been beautiful if not for the four huge funnels of black smoke and the thousands of vultures he saw swirling through the sky. " (Art by Amara Checchio)
"The wreckage was like nothing Admiral Curtiss had ever seen—at least fifteen mangled cars and trucks filled with dead and injured." (Art by Josh Newton)
