"Well, yeah. It was almost done. I wanted to see what was going to happen." -Slamm-0! "Maybe you should pull your head out and see what’s going on in the world." -Bull "Stuff’s going on? Hold on …" -Slamm-0! "Don’t see many headlines. If anything, it seems like a quiet day." -Slamm-0! "Are you looking at the newsnets? Maybe try digging into the sources who tell the real news? -Bull "Holy drek." -Slamm-0! That’s why you’re getting no news. Philly, DeeCee, Newark, St. Louis and more have all gone dark. No Matrix traffic at all." -Glitch "What happened?" -Slamm-0! "Good question. No explosions, though, at least none large enough to take out a city. So they’re probably still there." -Glitch "We really need to figure out how to get MoMN off this channel. Anyway, drones are inbound—they’ll get us pictures of what’s happening." -Bull "Dunno, since I don’t know what this is." -Bull "Guys, Kay St.’s pinging me with an urgent message. Like, panicked urgent. I’m patching him in." -Slamm-0! "*rt^5hs( whole ci†hhy blacked out. Everyou448ws panicked. He?rd from ÷’_drYt others?" -Kay St. Irregular "Y&^^1" -Kay St. Irregular "So something’s going on in DeeCee, but at least Kay is still on the map." -Glitch "Who else is in any of these that have disappeared or whatever?" -Bull "I’m not gonna be much help. Just found Netcat lying on the floor, eyes rolled back, muttering. DocWagon on the way. Gotta take care of her." -Slamm-0! "What the hell is happening?" -Bull "N0 dr$8nes, no v3^^œles, nothing. Everything l00¬s right, but it #84sn’t work." -Kay St. Irregular "Heard from Lyran. She’s in Dover. Says it’s fine. A spirit acquaintance is going to have a look." -Glitch "Who the hell goes to Dover?" -Bull "Deep deep deep deep deep deep deep deep" -Netcat "What was that? I thought Slamm-0! said Netcat was out?" -Glitch "Here’s another weird thing. Saw a headline about mass blackouts in the UCAS. It was there for ten seconds, then it was pulled. Can’t find a trace of it now." -Bull "Patching in Lyran." -Glitch "Hey guys. Not sure I’m going to get anything good for you. My spirit friend is spooked." -Lyran "Is that a joke?" Bull "Sorry, poor word choice. But it’s not interested in investigating anything. Doesn’t want to go out at all. Keeps talking about “too much corruption.” -Lyran "Deep. Deep. Underneath. Under. Underneath." -Netcat "This is crazy. I can’t find a any cameras online in St. Louis, Toronto, or Philadelphia. Everything’s out. How do they all go out?" -Glitch "Lyran, what kind of corruption is your spirit talking about?" -Bull "It doesn’t want to give any more details. Poor thing is absolutely terrified." -Lyran "Not seeing anything is killing me. Closest drone I’ve mobilized so far is still fifty kilometers away." -Glitch "Which means best-case scenario is we don’t get pictures for at least half an hour." -Bull "If we get anything at all." -Glitch "Th!s is an at†aqqww%. It udS41*shYYt@1aa anything else. But I don’t know whvvv@@9u." -Kay St. Irregular "Deep. Underneath. Rising." -Netcat

"Anyone slept?" Glitch "Of course not! Way too much going on." Bull "Still at the hospital with ’Cat. Been here too long. Gonna have to burn the SIN she’s using when she gets out." Slamm-0! ""How is she?" Glitch "About the same. Still out, still mumbling sometimes. Doc thinks it’s some kind of biofeedback damage. Like extreme dumpshock. Slamm-0! "All right, keep an eye in her for us. But we need to talk about what’s going on." Glitch "I know. I’m watching. Gotta keep myself occupied." Slamm-0! "So I’d sum up what I know, but I’m still not sure if I know anything. There’s some active misinformation going on out there that’s mucking up the waters." Glitch "What do you mean?" Bull "I’ve got two different feeds streaming in front of me right now. One of them shows rioting in Nashville. The other one shows normal nighttime traffic in Nashville, with the whole city looking peaceful. One of them is fake, but it’s a good fake. Seamless." Glitch "What do we know that’s verifiable?" Bull "Some cities are definitely dark. DeeCee, Philly, Newark. And I got some footage of the ARCHology in St. Louis before my drone was taken out. Take a look." Glitch "They got some light in there. Looks like torches. Good for them." Slamm-0! "Wait, what was that? Rewind about five seconds." Bull "What are you looking at?" Glitch "Underside of the arch. Left of center. There’s something moving." Bull "I’m not seeing it." Glitch "Watch the stars in the background. One goes out, then another one, then another. Because something is moving in front of them." Bull "Heh. You can see the stars in St. Louis. Probably the first time a lot of those fraggers have seen how many of them there are." Slamm-0! "Okay, I see it. Probably human sized, but crawling on the underside of the arch. Too bad drones can’t see astral." Glitch "What happened to your drone?" Bull "Got zapped. Don’t know who did it. I sent another one, and it returned about half an hour ago. It’s docking and sending me what it got. Should be ready to view about … now! Enjoy." Glitch "Yup, city’s still dark. Hope everyone burning stuff indoors knows how to ventilate." Slamm-0! "Looks pretty calm." Glitch "That’s because we’re outside. We don’t know what’s happening in that arch." Bull "What’s going on in that window to the left?" Slamm-0! "Hopefully the sub-routines I programmed into it will tell the drone to notice that window as something interesting so we’ll get a better look" Glitch "Looks like it did. Yeah, there’s the chaos I was looking for. What’s that room?" Slamm-0! "Looks like a restaurant. Good meeting place." Glitch "That’s not a meeting. That ork just decked somebody, solid. And on that pane to the right? That ain’t ketchup." Bull "Holy drek, that troll has someone lifted over her head. And she’s—she’s not going to—is she?" Slamm-0! "Yeah, she is. Defenestration. That window must have been pummeled already to break like that. Who did she throw?" Bull "Please drone please drone please drone follow it down. And there it goes!" Slamm-0! "Let’s get a look at that poor fragger." Glitch "What the hell is that?!?!?" Slamm-0! "I don’t even know what I’m looking at." Bull "Is that a tentacle? A tumor? Where’s it’s face?" Slamm-0! "Why is it wearing a jacket? Doesn’t that look military?" Glitch "Wait. Back up. It got a shot of the left shoulder. Can we look closer?" Bull "What the hell …" Glitch "III Corps. That’s III Corps." Bull "How the hell does that thing have a III Corps jacket?" Slamm-0! "I don’t know. But that’s what that is." Glitch "III Corps disappeared almost 900 kilometers from St. Louis. What is that jacket doing here?" Slamm-0! "And how did that thing get it?" Glitch "And how did it get in the arch?" Bull "Good questions. But more footage is coming in. From lots of places. Going to try to compile it. Might take a day. This stuff is a mess." Glitch
