→The scab
The pilot made one last desperate control input before crash-landing in a pasture. To Galt's further horror, Dagny Taggart was the pilot. To his immense relief, she survived with nothing more serious than a broken ankle.

Having little choice, John Galt hand-carried Dagny down a winding dirt trail from the crash site to the roadhead, where Midas and Hugh Akston drove up to meet them. He did not delude himself into thinking that she would join his strike immediately, and so he introduced her as "the [[scab]]." He consulted Dr. Thomas Hendrix, whom he had recruited six years later, to treat Dagny's injuries. Then he rented Midas' automobile and gave Dagny a tour of the valley and its town.

That evening, he brought Dagny to a dinner party at Midas' house. There Galt allowed the townspeople to speak for him. Each one told her why he or she had quit the world, and also showed her some of what they had invented in the valley. Galt and Mulligan also shared with Dagny a short history of the strike and the valley.
