A hundred billion people in the Solar System stepped out of their homes, boarded their spacecraft, and flew out of the planetary atmosphere, the space station's enclosure, or stood on the deck of the ship, quietly looking up at the stars.
Without a sound, the starry sky in front of them shook, became briefly foggy, and then incredibly clear.
All astronomical observatories in the Solar System simultaneously reported that the physical rules within the Solar System had changed silently, and the nature of light had been altered.
The Dome arrived on time as usual.
Everyone knew that from this moment on, humans would never see the real starry sky again.
In the previous timelines, humans didn't even know about the Dome's changes to the galactic rules, and they had unknowingly lost their freedom.
Now they knew, and they had already saved the previous rules with huge data in advance.
