The First Disturbance

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.
The Motel Reenactment

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 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 Door

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 Weapons

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.
