The First DisturbanceThe First Disturbance from "Strangers". Paper moons take flight A force without a source At Zebediah Lomack’s house, moon images detach from walls and circle Dominick Corvaisis.
Paper moons take flight A force without a source At Zebediah Lomack’s house, moon images detach from walls and circle Dominick Corvaisis. Their movement shifts between wonder and assault, leaving him unable to decide whether the force is good or evil. A first act of control Dominick’s command stops the images. Red rings appear on his palms, linking the spectacle to the other unexplained marks and suggesting that the power may be his own.

Memory drives a second disturbance Sound and shaking return As Dominick Corvaisis attempts to remember the night at the diner, a tremendous rumble and electronic whistle fill the room. Objects shake and the windows implode. Power and memory coincide The group cannot explain the event, but it occurs as Dominick approaches the blocked past. The phenomenon suggests that the repressed memory and the new ability are closely connected.
Testing the ShakersTesting the Shakers from "Strangers". An ability is demonstrated Small movement becomes levitation At the diner, Dominick and Brendan Cronin focus on salt and pepper shakers.
An ability is demonstrated Small movement becomes levitation At the diner, Dominick and Brendan Cronin focus on salt and pepper shakers. Both rise, spin, and move without anyone touching them. Control fails The demonstration expands to chairs and more objects, which crash against the ceiling. The group escapes injury, but the display proves that the power is real and dangerously difficult to control.
Dom Opens the Inner DoorDom Opens the Inner Door from "Strangers". The gift becomes a tool A security barrier Inside Thunder Hill, Jack Twist cannot open the inner door with ordinary equipment.
The gift becomes a tool A security barrier Inside Thunder Hill, Jack Twist cannot open the inner door with ordinary equipment. He asks Dominick Corvaisis to use the power that has already emerged in him. A deliberate act Dominick concentrates, and the heavy electronic door slides open. The feat is risky but controlled, turning telekinesis from an alarming spectacle into a means of entering the truth.
Disarming the WeaponsDisarming the Weapons from "Strangers". Power meets an immediate threat Weapons are torn away When Falkirk reveals two armed nuclear devices, Dominick pulls the guns from Falkirk and Horner.
Power meets an immediate threat Weapons are torn away When Falkirk reveals two armed nuclear devices, Dominick pulls the guns from Falkirk and Horner. He and Brendan then attempt to remove the bomb components before the countdown ends. An uncertain future The devices are disabled and the group survives. Dominick’s power has become a public fact, but his fear of losing control remains a real cost of the gift.
