Silence.

(Video clip of this scene -- 1:19 - 4:29)

"Five..."

"Four..."

"Three..."

"Two..."

"One..."

"Mute disengaged."

The woman standing before a large radiocomputer lifts her hand from the keyboard. You find yourself in an old, abandoned church, standing beneath the gaze of a hauntingly beautiful figure depicted in stained glass. With you is your partner, a larger policeman with insane mutton chops, a group of teenaged speedfreaks, and Soona, the woman at the computer.

Complete silence fills the room.

No wind outside. No waves. No floorboards creaking. Total, continuous silence.

In the silence, you see dust move on the floorboards. The speakers vibrate. Plasterwork begins to crumble down the walls...

A low hum starts creeping up your spine. It's a song inside you -- not in the speakers, not in the room. A great bass sigh in the basement of your mind. Slowly it builds, until the air around you starts to vibrate.

"Guys, what's going on?" one of the youths asks, alarm in his voice. A slight rattle like crystal clattering in the cupboard fills the air, joining the chorus.

"It's getting louder..." a wide-eyed youth says, eyes fixed on the basins of water set on the floor in a circle. The water looks like it's boiling.

"HOSIANNAH! MOTHER OF MEGA!" yells Egg Head, the loudest of the speedfreaks.

"Hey, uh, what's that weird rattling sound...?"

"The BEAUTY AND THE BEAT! The future of dance, PLANETARY!"

"No, Egg! It's the window."

The broken stained glass window shudders, the woman depicted on it looking almost as if she's breathing. Hand on your gun holster, you step aside, looking around for a possible escape route.

"The window is going to come down. NO, THE ROOF..." The woman at the keyboard looks up. A screech fills the air, a scream of wood and nails -- the pillars of the church twist and creak above and around you.

"COME DOWN TO US! LOVE!"

"That's it, I'm muting it!" She reaches for the keyboard...

"OH, I WANT TO DANCE WITH SOMEBODY!" Your partner cries inexplicably, tapping his foot.

"OH, I WANT TO FEEL THE HEAT WITH SOMEBODY!" Egg Head is all too eager to join in.

Soona is furiously smashing something on her keyboard. "Shit, it doesn't stop! Acele, have you...?"

The younger girl in the room, Acele, calls back, "Yes, I've turned it off! Andre, pull the compressor! The place is going to come down...!"

"Fuck..." Andre frantically smashes buttons. "I can't shut it up, the signal's passed... It's not in here, it's..."

With a great roar, the vault of the roof twists above you, glass shatters near the door... It's coming down.

"Egg Head! It's in the desk!" your partner yells.

And then it stops. Totally and utterly -- as if there never was a sound. Only your ears still ring from the shock. Everybody is staring at Egg Head -- holding a dangling cable in his hand. A black three-pin connector.

"I pulled the plug," he says, calmly. "It was getting too hard core."

Memshare: Silence.

Silence.
