Chapter 14
In this chapter, Salter Wherry monitors video feeds and global news reports from Salter Station, observing the deteriorating environmental and geopolitical conditions on Earth, including drought, volcanic eruptions, and rising sea levels. He reviews footage of Judith Niles and Hans Gibbs, and urgently orders a revised schedule to evacuate the Neurological Institute's staff and resources to Salter Station within thirty days, reflecting the escalating crisis and imminent collapse of terrestrial stability.
