61306 Hampton Loade 06/11/22 by light steam

7 2

Acquired earlier in 2022, along with the Steam Dreams business, 61306 has been in the workshops at Crewe to be fitted with air brakes for compatibility with the LSL stock.

Testing and familiarisation with the locomotive has been going on at the Severn Valley Railway using the train of 6 LSL Mk3 coaches kept there.

Unfortunately these didn't run last Thursday and Friday when the weather was best behaved but there was the promise of some favourable weather this morning, the sun even made a brief appearance but not exactly when needed.

Lego Union Pacific Big Boy in 1:38 by Dennis Glaasker

14

When it comes down to scale modeling with Legos a lot has happened over the last years. Its more and more recognized as a true scale modelers medium, and I think that is great. About three years ago I decided to build more different things then only the trucks that I had built so far. I built Harley Davidsons, Hot rods, and started with trains.

After the two big 1:16 scaled American diesels, I thought it would be nice to have something dynamic for events: A true scale locomotive on actual Lego rail gauge. I opted for the Union Pacific Big Boy: (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Pacific_Big_Boy).

There are already many models of this type of locomotive but I wanted one for myself as it has always appealed to me since I was a kid. I did some math calculating back from the Lego track gauge, coming to a 1:38 scale.

Building such a big locomotive to run on Lego rail is a bit of a challenge. I had to deal with the following facts:

-The standard Lego curve is too tight for such a long locomotive. Therefor I choose the Radius 104 aftermarket rail.

-The wheels are not existing as such. In diameter 45 mm there is nothing available from the shelf. I worked together with Jaap Kroon to design and 3D print a set of custom wheels. To make it look more realistic I chose to add the valve gear as well. We designed the valve gear with Lego compatibility in the back of our heads. It should not become too fine compared to the bricks.

-Power. This thing is heavy. And it has a lot of batteries to add to the weight. The solution was three genuine Lego Power Functions XL engines directly geared to the axles of the tender. I chose the tender to push the locomotive as it was much more convenient to house the engines and batteries there. In order to get all the ‘juice’ to the engine I chose a regular RC Battery pack and the Tamiya connector was hooked up to a PF cable. To control it I mounted a SBrick, so there is no restriction of battery power in the whole system.

-Lights. I wanted to add some realistic lights as well. Initially I wanted a smoke generator but the proper 5V kit was not available anymore, so I dropped it (for now). Rob from Brickstuff.com supplied a very cool lightkit for the locomotive.

It includes a dimmer for the contour lights. All in all there is about 2 meters of wire in the locomotive. It took me about 2.5 months to finish.

Specifications (locomotive and tender)

Length: +/- 106 cm

Width: +/- 9 cm

Height: +/- 13 cm

Bricks: +/- 3400

A big thanks to Rob @ www.brickstuff.com and Jaap Kroon for the 3D printing support.

Interference testing by European Space Agency

32 1

Testing one, two and now, three.

Radio frequency testing has begun on the first Orion spacecraft that will fly around the Moon for the Artemis 1 mission, just two weeks after thermal and environmental tests were completed at NASA’s Plum Brook Station in Ohio, USA.

Electromagnetic compatibility or EMC testing is routine for spacecraft. All electronics emit some form of electromagnetic waves that can cause interference with other devices. Think of the buzz that speakers give out right before an incoming call on a mobile phone.

Spacecraft electronics can cause similar interference, but out in space such interference can have disastrous consequences, so all systems must be checked before launch.

EMC tests often take place in a special shielded room constructed of metal walls and doors and foamy spikes (aka Absorbers) that block out unwanted external electromagnetic radiation, like ESA’s Maxwell chamber at its technical site in the Netherlands.

Though not an EMC chamber, Plum Brook’s thermal vacuum chamber is made of aluminium that does provide electromagnetic shielding, making it a suitable substitute.

To test electronics, the spacecraft will simulate a flight in realistic conditions with most of its subsystems and equipment powered and in operational mode.

The electronics are first tested for compatibility in this electromagnetic shielded chamber. Equipment will be switched on to test whether they do potentially disturb one another.

In the second round of tests, electromagnetic fields will be applied using antennas around the spacecraft to test the susceptibility to interference from external sources. The Orion capsule is equipped with electromagnetic field sensors to take measurements as the disturbance frequencies are injected into the chamber.

While all subsystems are a potential source of radio frequency noise, of particular interest are the transmitters that intentionally generate radio frequencies. These can easily disturb other equipment sensitive to electromagnetic noise, like GPS receivers, tele-command modules and other communication elements.

Orion’s European Service Module provides power, propulsion, and crew life support.

ESA experts are on site monitoring all tests alongside NASA colleagues as Orion moves closer to its first flight without a crewaround the Moon.

Ricki, mon filleul roumain (A ADOPTER) by myri_bonnie

11 24

Vous le savez peut-être, la situation en Roumanie pour les chiens est terrible. Comme je n'ai pas pu adopter de chien roumain (j'y ai pensé, mais sans possibilité d'essayer avec Lewis, j'ai préféré adopter Elsa avec qui j'ai pu faire un essai), je "parraine" 3 chiens roumains (dans 2 associations différentes). Ricki est mon plus ancien filleul, je suis sa marraine depuis 2014. Et il y a quelques jours, il a pu quitter le refuge pour aller en famille d'accueil. Ce n'est pas encore une adoption, mais il se comporte tellement bien que j'ai bon espoir pour lui et de toute façon une famille d'accueil c'est bien mieux qu'un refuge roumain. J'en ai pleuré d'émotion car je ne pensais pas qu'un grand mâle plus tout jeune (il va avoir 10 ans) comme lui aurait cette chance. J'étais d'autant plus triste pour lui ces derniers temps parce qu'après des années passées avec son grand copain Ursu (qui était aussi mon filleul), il s'est retrouvé seul dans son enclos à la tragique mort d'Ursu.

Pour ceux qui veulent lire (en français) ou voir les photos, RV ici : archeternite.forumactif.org/t9357-ricki-xgriffon-ne-le-25... (les dernières pages le montrent en famille d'accueil). Et pour mes contacts français, vous pouvez toujours passer le mot puisqu'il est à adopter. Merci

(photos prises par sa famille d'accueil et gentiment mises à ma disposition)

As you may know, the situation in Romania for dogs is terrible. As I could not adopt a Romanian dog (I considered it, but without the possibility of trying the compatibility with Lewis, I preferred to adopt Elsa), I "sponsor" 3 Romanian dogs (in 2 different associations). Ricki is my oldest "godchild", I have been his "godmother" since 2014. And a few days ago, he was able to leave the shelter to go to foster care. It is not yet an adoption, but he behaves so well that I have good hope for him and anyway a foster family is much better than a Romanian shelter. I cried with emotion because I did not think that a big older male (he will be 10 years old) like him would have this chance. I was lately even more sad for him because after years spent with his big friend Ursu (who was also my" godchild"), he found himself alone in his enclosure to the tragic death of Ursu.

For those who want to read (in French) or see the photos go here: archeternite.forumactif.org/t9357-ricki-xgriffon-ne-le-25... sponsor-by-myri_bonnie-sc-r-sos (the last pages show him in foster care). And for my French contacts, you can always spread the word since he is to be adopted. Thank you

Cheops in Maxwell chamber by European Space Agency

34

ESA’s exoplanet-characterising Cheops satellite being prepared for electromagnetic compatibility testing inside the Maxwell chamber at ESTEC, the Agency’s technical heart in Noordwijk, the Netherlands.

Once the chamber’s main door is sealed, Maxwell’s 12 m-high metal walls form a ‘Faraday Cage’, blocking electromagnetic signals from outside. The ‘anechoic’ foam pyramids covering its interior absorb internal signals – as well as sound – to prevent any reflection, mimicking the infinite void of space.

Once switched on Cheops was illuminated with a two-way radio beam. The satellite was then rotated and tilted through various angles to detect any potentially harmful electromagnetic ‘cross-talk’ that might occur between its subsystems. Testing also ruled out any radio emissions arising from the satellite that might interfere with its launcher during its rise to orbit.

ESA’s Cheops satellite will measure the sizes of known exoplanets by detecting tiny fluctuations in the light of their parent stars. Cheops, or ‘CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite’, combines a state-of-the-art scientific performance with a compact design – 1.5 m by 1.4 m by 1.5 m in size, it weighs in at about 300 kg fully fuelled – allowing it to be flown as a secondary passenger on a Soyuz launcher inside its ASAP-S adapter.

Last month, once its ESTEC test campaign was complete, Cheops left ESTEC for Airbus Defence & Space’s facility in Madrid to undergo further evaluation, including testing of its solar arrays, a ‘leak check’ of its propulsion module and a fit-check with its launcher adapter.

Once all tests are done, the satellite is planned for launch next year from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Name still in progress - pondering keeping my samurai armor naming scheme or being witty \ dull. (WAR SHOULDERS! ...nah.... but don't tempt me...)

Anyways! This is not the final release textures but its 90% of the way there. It will come with 3 variants: Plain with patch ( shown on right) - this fits the modern aesthetic as a kevlar\soft body armor shoulder armor solution (W/ full perm patch texture which is the same texture as from my "VALKYRIE PLATE CARRIER" - so if you made one previously you can drag and drop it for 100% cross compatibility)

The other 2 variants will be Sci-Fi \ Cyberpunk (Left one with dat' glow because people love glow!) - will have 2 versions - one as seen and one without the 3 circles glow but with the line glow.

These will come in my standard colors + white fabric for a first time + Full perm armor plate textures - Black\White + Clean \ Worn Variants - so you can add any unit designations or logos etc to it)

Keep tuned for the official release!

B♭ (B Flat)

A Novel by Mitsushiro Nakagawa

“Synopsis”

A Palestinian group from Gaza hacks into North Korea’s cryptocurrency system, stealing hundreds of millions of dollars. Their true goal is not money—but to recreate the lost homeland of Gaza on American soil.

Amid the backdrop of hardline Republican immigration policies and a growing wave of xenophobia, a quiet plan begins to take shape: the gradual collapse of America from within.

During a speech at Madison Square Garden, Republican presidential candidate Justin Bradford is shot. Almost simultaneously in Los Angeles, former president Owen Reed is attacked at a rally for Democratic hopeful Ryan Bennett.

Two assassinations—mirroring one another—ignite a nation’s deepest divide. Yet, against all odds, Justin survives. His blood type is one in 2.5 million: the Bombay Blood Group.

The only person who can donate such blood is Anaya Patel, a community art facilitator working in Brooklyn. Her blood, stored in the Bellevue Hospital Blood Bank, is used for an emergency transfusion that saves the candidate’s life.

Jack Vance, an agent of the U.S. Secret Service, suspects a Gaza-based network behind the attacks. Together with Cameron Bartlett, the FBI Director of the Los Angeles Field Office, and Veronica Reeves, a senior investigator from New York, he begins to uncover a vast conspiracy.

Their investigation leads them to Rafi Gannam, a former architecture student at the Islamic University of Gaza, who has infiltrated redevelopment sites across Los Angeles and New York—embedding C4 explosives deep within beams and structural cores.

His targets: new residential districts where agents of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and ERO (Enforcement and Removal Operations) live—symbols of “the order America built.”

Veronica urges the President to pursue dialogue to prevent further destruction, but President Grant M. Ranford refuses to listen.

Meanwhile, the recovering Justin and his Democratic rival Ryan appear on national television, calling for unity beyond political divisions.

Their words of reason, however, are drowned out when Grant takes the stage in Iowa, defiantly declaring: “We will never bow to terror.”

Among the crowd, Rafi’s operatives have already taken their positions.

As chaos erupts and the stage collapses, Amir Nasser—once Rafi’s comrade, haunted by the memory of his sister’s death in Gaza—tries desperately to halt the chain of destruction.

But Rafi’s conviction remains unshaken.

Under the twilight beneath the Williamsburg Bridge, amid the city’s fading noise, the two men part ways.

It is the boundary between prayer and vengeance, between hope and nothingness.

Recently, director Ridley Scott remarked that streaming films and series have become dull.

I agree.

If you have two hours to spare for such stories, I ask for only two minutes of your time.

Two minutes with my novel will outlast those two hours.

I am confident of that.

僕の新しい小説

　B♭　（ビーフラット） ……. Mitsushiro Nakagawa

“あらすじ”

北朝鮮の仮想通貨システムをハッキングし、数億ドルを奪取したガザ出身のパレスチナ人グループが、アメリカ合衆国へ密かに潜入する。

彼らの目的は、失われた祖国ガザを、アメリカの地に「復元」することだった。

共和党による強硬な移民政策と、国内にくすぶる排外感情を利用し、アメリカ社会を内側から崩壊させる計画が静かに進行していく。

共和党大統領候補ジャスティン・ブラッドフォードがマディソン・スクエア・ガーデンで演説中に狙撃され、ほぼ同時刻、ロサンゼルスでは前大統領オーウェン・リードもまた、民主党候補ライアン・ベネットの集会で撃たれる。

国家を二分する双方向の暗殺。だが、ジャスティンは奇跡的に生還する。

彼の血液型は、世界でわずか250万人に一人といわれる「ボンベイブラッド」。

その希少な血を提供できたのは、ブルックリンで活動するコミュニティアート・ファシリテーター、アナヤ・パテルだった。

彼女の血液はベルビュー病院の血液バンクに保存されており、緊急輸血によって、候補者の命はかろうじて繋がれた。

シークレットサービスのジャック・バンスは、テロの背後にガザ出身の組織が関与していることを察知し、FBIロサンゼルス支局長官キャメロン・バートレット、ニューヨーク支局の特別捜査官ヴェロニカ・リーブスと共に捜査を進める。

やがて彼らは、イスラム大学で建築学を学んだラフィ・ガンナムが、ロサンゼルスやニューヨークの再開発現場に潜入し、梁や構造体の中枢にC4爆薬を仕込んでいた事実に辿り着く。

標的は、ICE（移民・関税執行局）やERO（執行・送還作戦部門）の職員が暮らす新興住宅街——すなわち、「アメリカが築いた秩序」そのものだった。

ヴェロニカは、これ以上の破壊を防ぐため、大統領への対話を進言するが、現職のグラント・ランフォード大統領は耳を貸さない。

一方、命を取り留めたジャスティンと民主党候補ライアンは、テレビを通じて国民に訴えかけ、分断を乗り越えようとする。

だが、その理性の声を嘲笑うかのように、グラントはアイオワ州での演説を強行し、「テロには屈しない」と宣言する。

その会場には、すでにラフィの仲間が率いる工作チームが潜入していた。

崩壊する会場の惨状を前に、仲間の一人アミール・ナッセルは、かつてガザで妹を失った記憶に引き裂かれ、破壊の連鎖を止めようとする。

だが、ラフィの信念は揺るがない。

ウィリアムズバーグ橋の下、夕暮れの喧騒のなか、二人は決別する。

それは、祈りと報復、希望と虚無の境界線だった——。

僕のこの小説は、来年、２０２６年２月末日に公開します。

先日、リドリースコット監督がサブスクの映画やドラマ群がつまらないと話していたようだけど、同感です。

僕も非常に退屈です。

それらに2時間を要するなら、僕の小説を２分間だけ読んで欲しい。

その2分間は、２時間を越えるでしょう。

僕は自信があります。

ぜひ、期待してお待ちください。

Boulevard des Lumières by Brickester

43

This is my very first 'Moc'. The idea was to create a building inspired in the Haussmann style present in most of central Paris, without any piece count limit that would keep the modular compatibility and the minifig scale. So this is not a direct replica of any particular one. The street name is also fictional, there is no 'Boulevard des Lumières' in Paris, but its spirit is highly Parisian.

Testing New MakeHuman by Iohannes Crispien

32 8

They have had the recent update out for a while, but I finally took some time to try it out. The results aren't exactly all that good yet. As usual, rigging frustrates me. Why they can't make their Opensim rig and settings work to export out the model correctly is annoying. Not everyone wants to go through all the troubleshooting to get things to work properly, especially when this has been something that a lot of people have been requesting for years to fix. Sure, I have Avastar, and could try to figure out how to do all that, but I really don't have the time at the moment. So maybe I'll try Thursday or Friday to go through a few tutorials. It's just irksome that MH has been asked several times to work out these compatibility issues, and each update that has promised to deal with the issue has yet to resolve it. Not to mention, it looks like they changed the UV maps again, so I'm going to have to figure that out as well... >.<

[Improved] “Storm” Light Double-Gauge Artillery Railbarge Mk.LXXVI by Beau Donnan

24

A pivotal milestone in railship development, the Storm was among the first series of double-gauge rail vessels designed specifically to form a train.

Previous double-gauge vessels were less structurally complex and operated individually. Since these retronymically-termed “rigid” shoulder-less railships were more constrained in their length, (and therefore their volume) by track geometry, the capacity taken up by their internal engines and fuel storage was particularly burdensome.

The improved efficiency of dedicated locomotives within a double-gauge train permitted any non-motive vessel to allocate more of its capacity to weaponry, often resulting in an immense turret spanning nearly its entire beam. The addition of swiveling shoulders between the trucks and body allowed these vessels to grow to sizes far beyond those of rigids.

The first non-rigid double-gauge vessels saw action in the latter stage of the Great Steam War, but remained effective long into the era of internal combustion.

Play Features:

-L-Gauge compatibility (concentric curves and narrowing offsets up to 22.5º)

-Motorized turret rotation

-Detailed interior

(Of course, this is not the final draft.)

The female protagonist was originally written as a married woman.

However, as the story unfolded, the constraints of that setting became too restrictive.

Therefore, I have changed her status to single, now living with her partner.

Scene: Los Angeles – The Beaudry – Majid Hamza

1:47 p.m. The heat of downtown Los Angeles drifted between buildings, and the dry air shimmered above the asphalt, warping the ground like a mirage. The midday sun poured vertically into the canyon of skyscrapers.

The façade of The Beaudry reflected the sunlight like a cold mirror, casting flickering shards of light into the eyes of passersby.

The Beaudry, standing in the heart of downtown Los Angeles, is a modern high-rise residential tower. Though its exterior is cold and inorganic, the building boasts luxury amenities. It faces Wilshire Boulevard and 7th Street, just steps from the 7th Street Metro station, offering exceptional convenience in an area where the business district intersects with the city's creative scene—a location in high demand.

960 W 7th Street. For a weekday afternoon, the area was oddly still. Though the office district bustled just a few blocks away, this particular corner seemed wrapped in a strange stagnation of air. Only two or three office workers passed by, presumably out for lunch.

A line of black Ubers honked briefly, then vanished down the road.

The glass-paneled entrance hall was as silent as a gallery. Behind the reception desk, a sculptural white lighting fixture floated like a piece of minimalist art.

Only residents or prospective tenants accompanied by real estate agents came and went. Visitors were rare. No one made eye contact. Everyone stared into the glow of their phones.

Majid, seated on a bench beside the bus stop with a few others, gently touched the mute-reader inside his bag. Subconsciously checking his surroundings, he connected the outdated smartphone—disconnected from the internet—to a tablet that operated only over Wi-Fi.

A few days earlier, he had received a single line from Rafi:

“July 24, 3 p.m. Look for the ‘♭’ mark at the bottom of mellow-echo.net.”

Majid quietly opened his browser. mellow-echo.net—the abandoned official site of a defunct indie music label. Its HTML pages hadn’t been updated in over a decade, but they still floated in some forgotten corner of the internet.

He scrolled to the very bottom. Against a gray background, an image of a musical note, slightly fuzzed with digital noise, lay embedded on the page.

At first glance, it looked like a mere piece of decoration. But when Majid held the mute-reader’s lens to the screen, a deep-layer QR code rose to the surface.

The scan took 0.7 seconds. A short encrypted sentence appeared:

"LA, 7/26, 21:00. Underground. Contact P. K1 → 38.91n / 118.40w"

Seconds later, the message vanished. The device powered down. Its memory wiped to zero. The QR code deleted itself from the server.

Majid’s screen now displayed the interface for a C4 detonation signal.

On the black display, a quiet message blinked once:

“C4-ID: Vanta+Core / Ready.”

He carefully lifted a thin directional antenna from the bag, aligning it along the seam of his trousers, resting it on his lap.

The C4 embedded deep within the pillar of The Beaudry awaited his signal.

This high-rise tower was built with hypersteel structural columns. According to the laws of engineering, if a single critical point was destroyed, the entire building would collapse upon itself like a tower of sand. Five years ago, under instructions from Rafi Gannam—then a student of architecture at the Islamic University—Majid had worked at the construction site and planted the charge. Los Angeles had been his responsibility. The East Coast buildings were under Rafi and Amir’s domain.

Majid took a single deep breath, then slid his finger across the screen.

0.7 seconds later, without a sound, the center of the tower gave a faint shudder. No one noticed. But in the next instant—

A snap. Or something like it.

The Beaudry began to fold in on itself, like a spine silently snapping. From the columns to the floors, from the ceilings to the walls—a silent avalanche of collapsing structures, all engulfed in pale dust. What had been standing just seconds before was now vanishing into the canyon of the city in a swirl of white fog.

A wind blew through the street. The building's mass, once so tangible, dissolved as if it had never existed. Only a soundless death cry remained, shivering the air with a cold, invisible tension.

The collapsed building lay frozen, silenced, severed from the city’s murmurs.

Majid adjusted the silver rim of his glasses and stood. Ignoring the rising chaos around him, he walked slowly toward the subway.

Even the sound of his footsteps was not erased by the thunder behind him.

主人公の女性は、当初、既婚者でしたが、物語の展開上、制約が大きすぎたため、独身とし、同棲している設定へ変更しました。

場面　ロサンゼルス　ボードリー　マジード・ハムザ

　午後1時47分。ダウンタウンの熱気がビルの隙間を吹き抜け、乾いた空気がアスファルトの表面を歪ませていた。真昼の太陽が、ダウンタウンの谷間に垂直に降り注いでいる。

　ザ・ボードリーのファサードは、まるで冷たい鏡のように白く光を跳ね返し、通りを歩く人々の視界をちらつかせている。

　ロサンゼルスにあるザ・ボードリーは、ダウンタウン・ロサンゼルスの中心に位置する高層の住宅タワーで、建物自体は近代的で無機質な外観だが、ラグジュアリーな設備を備えたビルだ。ウィルシャー通りや7th通りに面しており、地下鉄の7thストリートからもすぐそばだ。便性が高く、ビジネス街と芸術系エリアが交錯する地点でとても人気が高い。

　960 W 7thストリート。その一帯は、週日の昼間にしては静かだった。オフィス街の喧噪がほんの数ブロック先にあるにもかかわらず、この一角には妙な“空気の滞り”があった。人通りはまばらで、ランチのために出てきた会社員が2～3人歩き去るだけだ。

　ビル前に停められた黒いUberの車列が、短くクラクションを鳴らし、すぐに消えた。

　ガラス張りのエントランスホールは、まるで展示室のように無音で、受付の背後には白い彫刻のような照明装置が浮かんでいる。

　建物に出入りするのは、住人か、不動産エージェントに連れられた見学者ばかりで、訪問者の数は極端に少ない。誰もが互いを見ない。誰もがスマートフォンの画面を見つめている。

　上階のバルコニーにふと視線を上げると、午後の光に照らされたグレーの植栽と、黒いラウンジチェアが無人のまま置かれている。

　ここは、人の気配があるのに「音」が存在しない、そんな場所だった。

　遠くで、清掃車のローラーが道路をゆっくりと転がしていく音が響いた。

　数人が腰掛けていたバス停のベンチに並んで座ったマジードは、バッグの中の“ミュートリーダー”にそっと手を触れた。無意識に周囲を確認しながら、手元の旧式スマートフォン──ネット非接続の「ミュートリーダー」をWi-Fi専用のタブレットに接続した。

　数日前、ラフィから一文だけが届いていた。

　「7月24日、午後3時。mellow-echo.netの最下部にある“♭（フラット）”マークを見ろ」

　マジードは静かにブラウザを開いた。mellow-echo.net──それは廃業したインディーズ音楽レーベルの公式サイトで、十年以上更新されていないHTMLが、今でもネットの片隅に残っている。

　マジードはページ最下部にスクロールした。グレイの背景に、わずかにノイズがかかった音符記号の画像が埋め込まれている。

　一見すると、ただのデザイン装飾にしか見えない。しかし「ミュートリーダー」のカメラでレンズをかざすと、そこにディープレイヤーQRコードが浮かび上がった。

　0.7秒のスキャンだ。画面に表示されたのは、暗号化された短い一文──

　「LA, 7/26, 21:00。地下。Pへ接触。K1→38.91n/118.40w」

　数秒後、表示は消え、端末はシャットダウンした。記憶領域はゼロ化され、QRコードはサーバーから自動削除された。

　マジードの手元のデバイスには、C4起爆用の信号送信画面が表示されている。

　“C4-ID:Vanta+Core/Ready.” と表示された黒い画面が、一度だけ微かに明滅した。

　マジードはバッグの中から細く仕込まれた指向性アンテナをそっと持ち上げ、ズボンの縫い目に沿わせるようにして膝の上に置いた。

　　ザ・ボードリーの柱の中心に埋め込まれたC４は、マジードの信号を待っていた。

　この高層ビルは、ハイパースチール製の柱が内部フレームに組み込まれており、一点を壊せば残りは構造力学に従って“砂の塔”のように自己崩壊する設計だ。5年前、イスラム大学で建築学を学んだラフィ・ガンナムの指示で建築現場で働き、仕込んだものだ。マジードはロサンゼルスを当時任されていた。東海岸の建築物についてはラフィとアミールが仕切った。

　マジードは一度だけ深呼吸し、画面に指を滑らせた。

　0.7秒後、何の音もなく、まずビルの中心がわずかに揺れた。誰も気づかない振動だ。だが次の瞬間──

「──ッ」

　高層建築そのものが骨の中心、まるで背骨を折られたように、ボードリーのボディは静かに沈み始めた。柱からフロアへ、天井から壁へ、粉塵とともに連鎖する沈黙の断崖──

　破片は内側に吸い込まれるように崩れ落ち、つい数秒前まで“存在していたもの”は、白い霧とともに都市の谷間に吸い込まれていった。

　通りに風が吹き抜けた。そこにあったはずの質量は、まるで最初から虚構だったかのように失われていった。音のない断末魔だけが、辺りの空気を冷たく震わせた。

　崩れ去った建物は、凍りついたまま沈黙し、都市のざわめきから切り離されていた。

　マジードは、銀色の眼鏡の縁を掛け直すと、静かに立ち上がった。騒然とし始めた周囲を無視し、マジードは地下鉄へ向け、ゆっくり歩き出した。彼が残した足音さえ、爆音にかき消されることはなかった。
