Kitty Farmer asks Rose to take Sparkle Motion to Los Angeles
Kitty must stay in Middlesex to testify for Cunningham, so she asks Rose Darko to chaperone the girls to Star Search. Rose agrees. The plane the Artifact belongs to now has passengers.
Who is there
In Sparrow's terms
- Sparkle Motion
- Samantha Darko's dance troupe, coached by Kitty Farmer. Their trip to Star Search in Los Angeles puts Rose and Samantha on the plane whose engine becomes the Artifact.
- Manipulated Living
- The living people around the Receiver whose behaviour, without their knowledge, steers him toward returning the Artifact.
- Artifact
- The metal object that marks the start of a Tangent Universe and must be returned to the Primary Universe to end it. In Donnie Darko, the jet engine.
