  • ANOMALY_ANCHOR_POINT_DESC0 good · 0 bad

    A thin tear in space pulses with repeating coordinate telemetry from regions well beyond your simulation.

The structure behaves like an anchor point, capable of bridging enormous gaps or dragging something through.

    Early logs suggested that this location might contain an exoplanet teeming with life and home to an advanced civilization. Instead, only the empty holographic shell of a placeholder planet remains. A Protocol update may have corrected a simulation error, but the change is unusually stark. What happened to all the life? Did it ever exist outside the virtual projection, or was it deliberately erased?
