After several hours of driving, Kiser and Garestaer arrive once again at the Black Hills area of South Dakota.Rapid City, South Dakota, Constitutional Republic of Freedonia
Pouring over the book, DeWitt finds that it is a journal-apparently Eberhardt's from a very young age. The letters are oddly scrawled, obviously those of a child, but there are two distinct scripts-one much tighter, smaller than the other, the other with broader, somewhat sloppier, loopier strokes. As the pages continue on, the two seem to merge together, tending towards the first, tighter letters, until they are essentially indistinguishable.

Faces of stone. How I wished I could be them. How Katerina longed for them. Amazed at the life from rock. I stand numbed, a cruel inversion, rock from life. Such is how we immortalize men. Carve them into nature. We believe that if the simulacrum of their visage continues to gaze, that they still remain. It is hope. It is foolish. It is the arrogance of man to think that, even in domination, they are complete. The greatest conqueror is humbled still by time and nature. It always returns. It is not powerful, but a coward. Greatness brought down not through strength, but corruption. The mark is left clear and bright, a castle's bastion in glory, but sees no battle, rots from the inside. So too, will it be here. She will never see the faces, they will never see her-and soon, none shall see them again. Life from stone is a crueler trick than is thought. We seek permanence, and instead see only inevitability. We see that the strongest do not survive in their glory, but, in their moment of triumph, spiral into nothing but decay.
From the inside is where it comes. I will be the agent for her. The cruel faces, the mockeries of the joy she had expressed, fall, life from stone killed by stone from life. It is just.

"OK. We're going to search every building until we find Eberhardt. I'm trusting you, Kiser," Garestaer says as he leaves the limo, looking around the area for any signs of life.

Kiser gets out and points at the giant eagle statue. "What about in or under that? It could be the entrance to the heads."

The choppers at last reached their destination, and the NARU prisoners were led out into a small building, where a man awaited them behind a desk.

The bald man glanced up, waved his hand. "That will be all, gentlemen."
He looked at Kate steadily. "I have a feeling that you are not entirely aware of just what you have done."

As they gazed, an itinerant preacher, the sort common in Freedonia, strode up behind Garestaer.
"God's work is mighty, is it not? It is in times like these that I think of Psalm 105:4"
'Seek the Lord, and his strength: seek his face evermore."
He smiled. "May that verse guide you in this troubling time, my son."

"Did you know that Angels, Cherubim, really, actually have four faces? It is in Ezekiel."
"And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle"
It is always interesting to think of. The four faces of the Angels, who serve God, who is, of course, our rock, as it says in the Psalms.
"The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."

The man chuckled. "Oh, I am sure you are, sorry, at least, that you were noted-but I rather think your definition of aid is skewed. You see, in most civilized nations, someone seeking to aid does not use chemical weapons on their ally's soldiers, for instance."
"What to do, what to do. It better serves the interests of those I represent for their to be peace-perhaps, at least for the moment, but you managed to make yourself famous on live television. The people are looking for a scapegoat, Ms. Sanborn. I wonder how well you would fare in that old Jewish tradition?"

I try to work for the population, not for myself. I've always been a simple person, I need little except food, water, shelter, something to write with, and people to talk to. I've learned that everyone is worth loving, except maybe the most evil of the evil. Yet when I see the affluence of the new technology company CEOs in San Francisco living in their skyscrapers, yet only a quarter mile away the poor people of The Mission, or farther, most of the people of Oakland, forced out of their homes and forced into either a life of effective slavery or of homelessness... I... sometimes I actually do want to cry over it. But crying is only taking time away from the hours that I can put towards helping these people. At first I just wanted to help through feeding people, donating to charity, but the more I looked into it, the more I realized that this system is stacked against the majority and wants nothing but the status quo. I am a communist not because I think people should be forced to work, or because I want to be Stalin, but because there are millions of disenfranchised people that cannot speak, cannot vote, cannot do anything to change their life. There are some who come up from poverty, but they are few and far between, and most of these people are turned into symbols of oppression, because the oligarchs use them to prove to the poor masses that they can rise up, too, but that is a lie. They cannot all climb the social ladder, and they need to realize this."
"Mr. President, I admire your work here in California. For being as pro-business as you are, life here is far better than in most places on the continent. You are not evil, you are, overall, a force that helps the majority. But no matter how many reforms you enact, this current system is unable to truly bring about equity. Now, if you could, I would very much like to go home, now."
