Despite his stint being cut to just 90 seconds, and an initially frosty reception, Danes ended his speech with cheers from the crowd. He spoke of making the leap fifty thousand years BC from animals to humans, and compared the effects of the miracle to humans ascending into Angels. At the end of his speech, the word "Revelation" cued the screens at the back of the stage to display the PhiCorp logo.
The event was a big draw, with audiences flying into the city. In particular, Jessica MacCauley arrived early from Redlands, and was most looking forward to seeing Oswald Danes. The Prime-time News Channel reported live from the Miracle Rally. (TV: The Categories of Life)
