A small patrol unit was making its way along the section of the city wall facing the abandoned district.
The strange, unnatural darkness spreading from the direction of the abandoned district outside the walls caught the patrol's attention, and they wasted no time reporting it.
Inside the city, the Abnormality Incident Response Department occupied its own dedicated office building.
The duty officer hurried into the director's office and found the deputy director standing there straightening his tie.
"Deputy Director, you're still here this late?"
The deputy director's tone was clipped. "Skip the small talk. What is it?"
The duty officer looked down at his personal terminal. "There's a suspected Abnormality incident breaking out in the direction of the abandoned district."
"Threat level? Scale? Any signs of spread?"
