Small-scale infections have begun in the city.]

By then, the crisis had erupted in full.
Thirty thousand meters above New York, in the stratosphere, a massive spatial rift had torn open in the once-clear blue sky. It stretched over five hundred meters long and nearly a hundred meters wide.
Space warped and shuddered along its edges. Black spacetime mist churned without cease. On the other side lay a dead, gray apocalyptic sky, utterly devoid of life.
