—MORE IN ANGER, MARYA MANNES GILROY RANCH, CALIFORNIA The Gilroys lost their ranch to the military once the quarantine on the Fellowship was imposed. Now media access to the hill overlooking the Fellowship's compound was restricted. Roland Symes had been invited to witness the take-over of the Fellowship compound, as were Bill Towers and Wyatt Powder and their news crews. Roland knew they had been selected because they had shown no love for the Fellowship, although hid it behind a thin veneer of objectivity. Video cameras had captured the brief firelight and the retreat of the cultists to the launch facilities. Even more spectacular was the escape attempt of the Genesis and the subsequent missile attack. The explosion was recorded, but they were too distant to assess the damage. Then came the most dramatic video,- the fall of the Genesis, the chase by the sphere, and finally the sphere's collision. Somehow the pilot of the Genesis had regained control in the nick of time, plowing a furrow in the earth and then caroming into the air again.
