WilkinHOST
No one wanted to give voice to the thought that the faces around this cargo bay might, at some deeper level, belong to strangers in identical uniforms.
WilkinHOST
Thunder boomed so close above that powdered dust rain from the air returns.
WilkinHOST
A loose length of pipe clanged rhythmically nearby.
WilkinHOST
Nothing moved, yet the station creaked and flexed as if restless with its own memory.
ElinNARRATOR
It's seeing us, or remembering how to see us.
ElinNARRATOR
Thunder crashed, windows rattled, and in the milliseconds before every feed crashed to black, I saw something behind my own shoulder in the camera.
ElinNARRATOR
Rows and rows of faces, pressed against glass that shouldn't exist, each mouth forming the same question, soundlessly.
ElinNARRATOR
Asterisk, are you there? Are you listening? All our lines fell dead.
WilkinHOST
Against protocol, I threw my coat on and barreled toward the service stairwell.
WilkinHOST
Thunder boomed so loud it shook dust from the ducts.
WilkinHOST
At the base, Anna waited, side-lit by a spare torch.
WilkinHOST
There's something on the rocks, new, she hissed.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
This the sun's heat would be unable to accomplish in an age, though beating on it incessantly with its quivering heat; so much more nimble and overpowering is this other force.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
And now in what way these are begotten and formed with a force so resistless as to be able with their stroke to burst asunder towers, throw down houses, wrench away beams and rafters, and cast down and burn up the monuments of men, to strike men dead, prostrate cattle far and near,—by what force they can do all this and the like I will make clear, and will not longer detain you with mere professions.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
Thunderbolts we must suppose to be begotten out of dense clouds piled up high; for they are never sent forth at all when the sky is clear or when the clouds are of slight density.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
That this is so beyond all question is proved by facts evident to sense.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
Clouds at such times form so dense a mass over the whole sky that we might imagine all its darkness had abandoned Acheron throughout and filled up the great vaults of heaven.
WilkinHOST
"I think the land remembers names," he whispered.
WilkinHOST
"It remembers who it's owed." Thunder rumbled, spreading through the fields and the crowd like a warning.
WilkinHOST
People began to murmur, not daring the field, but shifting their weight, hedging away from the stones that marked the ritual boundary.
WilkinHOST
I said, "Do you know these stones hold the names of those taken?" Micah's face grew hard.
10 MINS LATER
WilkinHOST
Hannah, arriving minute later, saw the unearthed crypt and murmured, "There's more than just names here.
WilkinHOST
The ledger's deeper than anyone admits." We all stood dripping, the ring of unearthed stone at our feet.
WilkinHOST
Thunder cracked, the rain thickened, and the yellow-green glow flickered between the roots, fainter but unmistakable as it shimmered upward.
WilkinHOST
Lee gripped my wrist.

David WalesNARRATOR
Section 3, The Story of the Thunder Medicine.
David WalesNARRATOR
It was in the long ago.
David WalesNARRATOR
Our fathers had no horses then, but used dogs to carry their belongings.
David WalesNARRATOR
The dogs were then held back, and the hunters advancing with ready bow and arrows would shoot and shoot the bighorn at close range and generally kill the most of them.
David WalesNARRATOR
One day, while most of the men were hunting, three young unmarried women went out to gather wood, and while they were collecting it in little piles here and there, a thunderstorm came up.
David WalesNARRATOR
Then said one of them, a beautiful girl, tall, slender, long-haired, big-eyed, "Oh, Thunder, I am pure, I am a virgin.
David WalesNARRATOR
If you will not strike us, I promise to marry you whenever you want me." Thunder passed on, not harming them, and the young women gathered up their firewood and went home.
speaker_1NARRATOR
Water pooled in the depressions.
speaker_1NARRATOR
Thunder rolled across the sky, and lightning split the darkness of storm clouds.
speaker_1NARRATOR
And still Rizpah remained.
speaker_1NARRATOR
People must have passed by occasionally.
speaker_0NARRATOR
The tall grass swayed between them like a living curtain, half concealing, half revealing, refusing the polite fiction of distance.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Thunder cracked directly overhead, loud enough to shake bone.
speaker_0NARRATOR
and the downpour arrived in earnest.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Sheets of warm summer rain that turned the world to gray-green chaos and drove the temperature of the air against the fever rising under both their skins.
8 MINS LATER
speaker_0NARRATOR
He angled his hips against the give of Logan's body, pressed, held, and then sank home in one long, deliberate slide that neither of them managed to survive in silence.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Ugh.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Thunder rolled continuously, a low, endless growl that swallowed every gasp, every broken attempt at speech.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Only sound fragments remained, a name torn half free and instantly drowned, the wet slide of skin, a creek of grass crushed flat beneath them.
WilkinHOST
Her sentence dissolved in the shared dread pooling in the center of the room.
WilkinHOST
Thunder rolled outside, steady, unbroken.
WilkinHOST
For a while, no one spoke, all of us waiting for the signal to deliver a final judgment.
WilkinHOST
Late in the waning day, Rud snapped, ordering prep for possible evacuation.
WilkinHOST
I saw her hands tremble.
WilkinHOST
"You're not thinking right, kid," Sasha barked.
WilkinHOST
"If the signal can get inside our heads, who's to say it's not already controlling what we'll choose?" Thunder shook the hull.
WilkinHOST
The fish stormed.
Brett SchumacherNARRATOR
"No, that's what this storm looks like.
Brett SchumacherNARRATOR
Some people spend their whole lives trying to understand, but we are never meant to know." Thunder boomed and the wind screamed behind him, like it was underlining what he was saying.
Brett SchumacherNARRATOR
"I'm sorry, Nick, but you have to stay in the car with Mallory.
Brett SchumacherNARRATOR
I'm so sorry this is happening.
