Almost at once, Ragnar Danneskjold laid on a commando-style raid on the [[State Science Institute]] facility where John Galt was being held. At least half the male population of Galt's Gulch participated, along with Dagny, Henry Rearden, and Francisco d'Anconia. Dagny drew the first blood in that attack, which succeeded easily because the men who guarded that facility were not only incompetent but also afraid to decide even the simplest things. They found John Galt lashed to a mattress and connected to an electroshock generator that had, happily, broken down. John assured them all that he was unharmed, and that he had known all along that his torturers would never deliver a lethal shock. Hurriedly they unbound him, allowed him to dress, and took him to Francisco d'Anconia's aircraft, which Ragnar had landed nearby.

As they overflew the Eastern seaboard, Dagny gasped as she beheld it plunged into darkness. John told her sternly not to look down, but Dagny had already seen. The lights had gone out, and were not likely to come back on until the society was totally collapsed.
