From the accounts given of what happened next, one may infer that Henry gave Francisco his permission, and perhaps a suggestion, to share the news of his decision to quit and vanish with all his regular employees. The shop superintendent, Henry's long-serving secretary, and the doctor in charge of the infirmary were only three of the many employees who followed Henry Rearden in his retreat from society. Rearden Steel shut itself down completely. In the month that followed, one manager would try to run them and would ask for a transfer, and the next manager would enrich himself by selling off most of the equipment.

Presumably Henry Rearden and his employees all joined the community that Henry came to know variously as Mulligan's Valley and [[Galt's Gulch]], where Henry was enthusiastically received by everyone, even one [[Andrew Stockton]], a foundry owner who realized that Henry Rearden must inevitably put him out of business.

From the account given of Dagny Taggart's uninvited visit to the Gulch, and the things that several of its residents said of Henry, he was enthusiastically received by everyone, even one [[Andrew Stockton]], a foundry owner who realized that Henry Rearden must inevitably put him out of business.
