Tears and the breach

A tear has signs: wind, a sound like lightning, local lights going out, a tremor, lightning in the distance, and the air itself warping. When a tear closes, the lights come back.

The first tear opened at Lucky Lantern Park on a Friday night, cut by a shadowy hand of smoke. Gasket spun straight into it and collapsed it.

Torque's report held a photograph of a small breach. The one in the Founders' Ruins was about three meters across, with darkness on the other side, and it grew as the spirits approached.

It was sealed with a laser built from Gasket's power core, and with Captain. Sly and Nova fired the laser into him, and he exploded in red light and became one with the wall. Where the breach was is now the demark.
