Standing before the resort, Ava crossed her arms.
Her eyes swept across the ground, taking in the fractures, the deep gashes, and the charred patches scorched into the surface.
Behind her, several CPV officers stood in silence, the local team that had arrived after the rifts were taken down.

Communication had been blocked during the incident, but the cameras in the resort had remained active. She had someone review everything, hoping to find even the slightest trace of the anomaly.
"Hmm. And the other officers? Anything unusual in their behavior?" she asked, stepping closer to the deepest crater at the center of the site.
The very spot where the eruption had occurred, where that wave of Genesis had wiped out all four rifts at once.
