constantly, always outstripping their capacity to master it.
“Something is missing in the Sequence. Another way of looking at it, or another layer,” Rip had said years earlier when he presided over the first secret meeting with Booker’s scientists. He and the others had become convinced that if they could uncover more about the origins of the Cosegans and the Sphere, they could find that missing key.
The Sphere’s stunning views of the world had convinced the scientists that the future, and humanity’s existence, were doomed unless they could discover how to use its power to change the planet’s destiny.
The pressure weighed on everyone involved. Two of the scientists had already committed suicide in the face of overwhelming odds at stopping it—a chain of events, already underway, which would lead to the culmination of the three Death Divinations : A super plague that would kill billions, irreversible climate destabilization, and World War III.
Chapter 5
Gale grabbed her pack as they dashed from the Range Rover toward the waiting chopper. Everything she needed was in there. She’d been prepared to run, they all had, and in some way she’d been running every second since they discovered the Eysen-Sphere.
Kruse climbed into the small helicopter after Gale. It would fly them to the hospital in the capital city of Suva, on the island of Viti Levu. Fiji was made up of hundreds of small islands, on one of which Gale, Rip, and Cira had been living for almost five years. Cira had been airlifted with Harmer from the school playground almost ninety minutes earlier.
For the first year after Gale and Rip “died,” they bounced around the world in a dizzying whirl of travel where they almost never slept in the same place for more than one night. The tension, the constant fear of being caught, and the race to dig deeper into the Eysen’s secrets set a grueling and unsustainable pace. Finally, when Gale became pregnant, Booker moved them to El Perdido.
At first it was a wonderful reprieve, but other than a small staff, along with Kruse, Harmer, and a few other AX agents, they were alone. Gale came to see the isolated island as a prison. She wanted Cira to grow up with other children, and after convincing Booker, they selected Fiji. Its remote location made it a natural choice, and was big enough to get lost in, yet small enough to be safe.
They’d been happy there. Cira had thrived in her small English school. Gale had even started to occasionally feel normal, as normal as one could feel while looking into the Sphere every day. They watched, miraculously, as if a portion of the universe had been a high definition look at both the origin and end of the world.
Now they would have to return to El Perdido . . . if they made it out of Fiji in time.
How could she not have seen this coming in the Sphere? They’d been so focused on trying to understand who the creators of the original Eysen had been, the ones they called the Cosegans. Rip and Gale believed if they found answers to what they called the five Cosega mysteries within the Sphere, they could possibly uncover the key to stopping the Divinations:
1. What is the Sphere?
2. Who were the Cosegans?
3. Where did they come from?
4. Why did they leave the Sphere?
5. What happened to them?
After successfully decoding what Rip called the “first layer” of the Cosega Sequence, they had spent years exploring its endless views and information. Even after all that though, they still could not comprehend the enormity of the Sphere, nor imagine a fraction of what it could do.
Gale’s mind had become cluttered with what she referred to as “exSpheriences,” some of the most haunting of which were her talks with dead people. At times the conversations threatened her sanity, but many gave her peace. Through the Sphere she had found forgiveness from Fisher and Tuke, two men who had died after innocently helping them escape. She and Rip
