The silence of Warehouse 4 was abruptly shattered by a terrifying sound from the outside world.
SCREEEEECH!
It sounded like tearing metal and static. It came from directly above them.
Valerie jumped, her head snapping up toward the high corrugated iron roof of the warehouse. "What the hell was that?"
Sebastian didn't even flinch. His newly synchronized senses were feeding him data at a ridiculous speed. "Phase Spiders. They found us."
THUD. THUD. SCRATCH.
Heavy and uncoordinated footsteps and the horrific sound of massive claws dragging across the metal roof echoed through the massive room. It wasn't just one. It sounded like dozens of them!
"The bleeding effect is accelerating," Sebastian said calmly, stepping over the puddle of black sludge he had just vomited. "The system is dropping the barriers. The Ethereal Plane is merging with Earth right now. The monsters are rendering into reality, and they are very hungry."
