Solicitation:
America is in a full-scale revolution! While the Authority combats the chaos spreading through its country, attempts at locating the super-villains responsible are coming up empty. Could there be a saboteur in their midst?
SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT
Synopsis
The Sons of Liberty are aboard a ship with their mysterious leader and benefactor. The ship’s virtual reality mechanism broadcasts menacing images of the Authority across the skies in every city, inciting hatred against the team.
While Hawksmoor enters his press conference to publicly censure the Sons of Liberty’s actions, Midnighter steps his plan into action.
Realizing he cannot perform his mission alone, Midnighter enters the Carrier’s control room and convinces the Carrier to let him interface with its consciousness. He downloads the memories of the future shown him by the elder Apollo. A confused Jenny Quantum witnesses Midnighter’s interfacing with the Carrier.
Meanwhile, the Sons of Liberty have staged another revolt in Seattle. More shamanists are slaughtered in their churches. When the Authority arrives in Seattle, the rioters are long gone, again without a trace.
Several more revolts break out over the next few days. Chicago, Kansas City and Minneapolis are hit with similar damaging and deadly results.
The Authority is befuddled. They can’t find the Sons of Liberty and their followers anywhere. But the Doctor taps into the earth and anticipates their next attack. Dallas is the only place in American that isn’t sterile and without feeling.
Apollo is the first to arrive in Dallas to confront the rioters. Paul Revere catches Apollo off guard and knocks him for a loop with Maiden America’s mallet. When the rest of the Authority arrive, the Sons of Liberty have vanished. Apollo reveals the throng of rioters disappeared through a shift-door, exactly like the one their Carrier creates to transport the Authority, only their shift-door was blue instead of yellow.
The Engineer concludes the Sons of Liberty must have their own version of the Carrier.
Midnighter begins to rip into the team, scolding it for its self-righteousness. Midnighter chides the Doctor for taking on a messiah complex with his new religion faster than Hawksmoor appropriated his own brand of politics.
Hawksmoor calls the Midnighter a homophobic remark and the two fight. Their fight makes the news, and rumors of a rift amongst the team begin to spread.
The Engineer breaks up the fight, and Midnighter walks away from the team.
