Epilogue It was the biggest fireworks display that the residents had ever seen. It seemed to go on forever. The barrier held up the entire time, and eventually the barrage ceased. Using the announcement system that Dawe had used for so long to talk with the town, the people were able to send a message to land. After it was confirmed that they were not there as an enemy, the land city sent out a boat with several representatives. After discussions between the representatives and the new leaders of Barrier City, they formed a truce and began working with each other to bring the city back into the world. Soon afterwards, they were able to conv

20. Sion found Schultz sitting on the curb of the street, breathing heavily. "Schultz?" he asked as he walked up to him. Shultz looked up at him, disappointed that he wasn't Jak. If it had been, he would have somehow created for himself a second wind and throttled him to death. However, he remained exhausted. Between breaths, he managed to get out, "Haven't seen you in a long time. You're still working with him?" "Yeah, Schultz. We got thrown out of the city by Dawe and had to sneak back in. Sorry about the whole pit thing. It turned out that we didn't need that aspect of our plan." "You mean that you were going to use me to launch you tw

19. "Is it the time to do something yet?" Packard asked, after Jak and Sion had come back inside. He had been bored out of his mind since they had moved into the apartments. Sure, taking care of the people of the camp was indefinitely important, it definitely lacked an element of excitement or fun. "Is there anything we can do?" Jak was deep in thought on that exact question. "I have a feeling that the people of this city aren't too pleased with Dawe, and they will want to do something about it. Our best shot at taking Dawe down is to get in cahoots with that resistance." "How exactly do you plan to do that?" Sion asked, partly interested

18. "He's still going to blast the city into space?" "Apparently the fact that we came back in wasn't an issue for him. He probably thinks that it was just some kids messing around with a broken down Transpod. I think we're still in the clear. Anyway, we've got to find a place for these people to stay. Once we get up there, it's going to be freezing." "Movie theater?" "No, we can't admit over five hundred people to the complex at once. I think we should go and see if my place is available. I don't think that anyone else would have moved into it in this amount of time," Sion said. "Can your apartment hold five hundred people?" asked Jak.

17. The image of a very happy squirrel appeared on the screen, and said in a typical squirrel voice, "Welcome to the Intranet, Mr. Dawe. Where would you like to go?" A menu of options popped up alongside the squirrel, with hundreds of different options that the four of them would love to have explored. However, they knew what they had to find, and it eventually scrolled onto the menu. Jak clicked on the link that was labeled 'City Layout and Assets'. Instantly, a full screen digital map of the city came up in front of them. On the right side of the display was a blank search box. Jak moved the cursor over to it, and activated it. He typed i

16. They kept to the spiraling stairwell for the entire trip down. A clock on the wall read 3:34 A.M. To their surprise and shock, they encountered a security officer walking up between the second and third floors. At first, they tried to enter the door to the third floor in order to hide in an office or whatever else they happened upon, but the door was locked. Running up the stairs would have been a dead giveaway, and so they decided to put Jak's theory into practice. Jak and Sion began having a very sensible sounding conversation about the increasing price of hammers within the wholesale district. Sha and Kiva occasionally chipped in dif
