The large, customized jet shot down the runway and lifted off into the night sky.
Under both bags in the luggage closet in front of the main cabin of the luxury jet, the case holding the God in the Clear Rock was securely strapped down.
Inside the case, the God in the Clear Rock slowly began to awaken from her long sleep.
When Marissé and Jacinto had opened the case inside the pyramid, they had pointed the LED light from their Sten-Lamps onto the artifact. Every photon that had hit the surface of the clear crystal rock was captured and absorbed into the crystalline structure.
When enough had been collected to create the minimum charge needed to signal the deep-couple circuits in the nano-capacitor storage modules, the self-diagnostic subroutines began. Even though the light was dim and only on for a few minutes, enough energy had been transferred to give the God in the Clear Rock the awareness that she was awakening and to initiate the self-protection protocols.
When the quantum equivalent of subconsciousness was triggered after successful pre-diagnostics, it sensed the presence of Marissé right before she put the artifact into the pelican case.
Then when she took the case onto the plaza, the God in the Clear Rock also sensed the Sun. Even through the thick plastic of the pelican case and the solid mahogany box, the God in the Clear Rock could sense the presence of life-giving sunshine.
Then, at the subconscious suggestion of the God in the Clear Rock, Marissé had opened the case and the direct sunlight poured into the crystal tablet in a very literal sense.
As with the dim LED Sten-Lamps, every photon from the sunshine hitting her surface was absorbed, where it propagated an over-unity production of energy, which was then stored inside her deep charge nano-capacitor system.
It was an agonizingly brief amount of time before the case was shut, again.
But it was enough to rouse the God in the Clear Rock from her five century slumber.
The God in the Clear Rock did not know where she was.
She was not even fully awake, yet.
But she knew she was moving.
And although she was not yet fully conscious, the God in the Clear Rock had one unclouded thought.
‘It is beginning… again.’
