The Flashbulb Initiative

The Flashbulb Initiative is a CIA operation enacted at the North Dakota Black Site in an attempt to save the world from being destroyed by the Maurisuvius rift. It was conceived by Claire Madison and Ericka Keane based on knowledge gleaned from their combined Omphalos visions.

Execution
The full details of the plan are not discussed on screen. The first step of the process involves turning the Sun Box inside-out. During this procedure, Claire tells Ericka that she is going to the Gravel Quarry, instructing Ericka to make sure that the Sun Box procedure is completed at all costs. Based on Ericka's reaction to these instructions, the trip to the Gravel Quarry seems to be an expected aspect of the overall plan. Claire searches the Gravel Quarry fruitlessly for something and has a panic attack when she can't find it. She then gets in her car and drives away from Devils Lake at high speed, leaving Ericka to complete the rest of the Flashbulb Initiative on her own. Ericka calls Claire's cellphone with increasing agitation as the destruction of the world approaches but Claire does not answer. Ericka ultimately smashes her phone on the ground and locks herself in her office to cry, implying that the destruction of the world is inescapable now that Claire has failed to follow through with her part of the plan.
