Tension was high within the ranks, as evidenced by a disagreement between Colonel Gibbons and Major Leech about the bivouac location. Despite this, the soldiers worked diligently to prepare the cemetery for the resurrection, setting up tents, registration booths, and other facilities to manage the reborn.
As the soldiers sang praises, the ground began to shake, and the dead began to rise from their graves. Ghostly forms transformed into fully clothed humans, their eyes wide with confusion and wonder. Colonel Gibbons addressed the reborn, explaining the resurrection and the process they would undergo. A heckler interrupted, but Gibbons remained calm and clarified that the military personnel were angels from the Celestial Army, tasked with managing the resurrection but not performing miracles.
The reborn were instructed to register based on their biological father's name, with specific tents set up for different name groups. Meals, clothing, and other supplies were provided to ensure their needs were met during the process. Gibbons called on religious leaders among the reborn to assist in providing emotional support and guidance to their fellow resurrected individuals. The cemetery was alive with activity as the last great day began.
