This portal into a new timeline, is held open wide by something... by you are not sure... The Tar covered monstrosities of the Deep Spawn have melted into pools of darkness and splashes of shadow, but their wounds still remain The Deep boils and flows below on a sea of endless night in the rift. Much has changed your understanding of the Deep; and before you it is retreating, sowing the rift shut slowly with igneous rock that splashes upward through the hole in spacetime. A bleeding cut in the world and the ichorous scab of the Deep; its clot. You realize the true gravity of your situation, the rift is closing, and the Deep is retreating... uncharacteristic of the entity. Through your experience the Deep has always broken upon the world like a wave, as if it's sole purpose was to simply wear at the edges of reality; a wave of chaos and death.

As the wound continues to cascade and harden along the edges of the rift you are faced with a choice. A. If you are a former Deep Raider, Veteran or Recruit, it might be wise to report to your own Raider HQ, B. A newcomer to the story might approach the enigmatic and severe white building that now stands in a once quiet corner of the ruined city. C. Someone who is disinterested, might ignore it.
