It appears to be some kind of spatial interphase. The foundation of dark matter in the localized area seems to be breaking down at an atomic level. This is remarkable… and very scary.

That is interesting, but we arrived here through the Mycelial network, did we not?

Yes, but… Okay, look. The Mycelial network isn’t just some magic doorway. It’s more like… a series of roads, dispersed across the entire universe like a web.

It might seem a lot like a totally separate dimension, but it is intrinsically linked to our own. So if something is happening here that alters the fabric of space…
