In his research, Equality 7-2521 discovers a new force of nature. He uses this force, which he calls the “power of the sky,” to build strange new devices. He roams through the tunnel, garnering everything from this remnant of the Unmentionable Times that he can—boxes with bars of metal, wires leading to globes of glass on the wall, and more. He does not understand these strange objects, but he studies them. He believes that the people of the Unmentionable Times understood this force of the sky, and that they had somehow harnessed it to power their devices. He believes that the objects he has found in the tunnel bear some relation to this power. He commits himself to understanding this power even though it means going against every thing he has been taught to believe by the Councils.
