How It All Goes Down
Pressia (Teacup)
- So Willux owns a fleet of airships. Good old Hastings filled us in with some good information.
- They're all on their way to find the airships in the black sedan the Dome gave to Ingership, but Hastings can only give them limited information due to his behavioral coding. Unfortunately, he is still loyal to the Dome, but has to fight it.
- Of course, Bradwell doesn't trust him.
- They pass a bunch of fast-food places on the way, and they talk about Cygnus. Apparently, Cygnus was also a Greek Myth about two friends named Cygnus and Phateon.
- The two friends had a chariot race, but they flew too close to the sun (sort of like what Icarus did), and both crashed down to the earth.
- Cygnus was okay, but Phaeton was stuck under the roots of a tree in the ocean.
- Zeus gave Cygnus a choice: either live forever, or turn into a swan so that he could retrieve Phaeton's body and give him a proper burial. The problem is, if he turns into a swan, he'll only live as long as a swan.
- Cygnus chose to be turned into a swan, and Zeus was amazed by his unselfishness, so he created a constellation in the image of Cygnus — a swan.
- Anyway, this story relates to Ivan Novikov's drowning. Hmm, maybe Willux really was trying to save him?
- Back to the plot: they're driving towards an amusement park, but the car gets caught on something: that's right, a trap made from the remnants of a teacup ride.
- El Capitan is furious that his car just got damaged, but something worse is happening. The ground is rumbling below them.
