Everyone’s blowing this way out of proportion. It was a little spatial anomaly, not a surge. If it was a surge, then none of us would be here to tell the tale.

Our scans showed energy patterns that mimicked that of a surge, though in far smaller quantities.

We have never seen these phenomena happen so close to a celestial body. Normally they occur in the vacuum of space. What do you think precipitated it?

There’s a lot going on at the moment, Independent. I’m going to have to cancel a bunch of sold-out concerts. Think of all the ticket refunds…

And if that wasn’t enough, I have a venue that’s all but falling apart. I mean, look at that structural damage! If you really want to help, give me 1.2M Σ-Parsteel so we don’t have to close the venue altogether.

Indeed. Do you have any idea what happened?

Well, we were playing a new song. Kenda was absolutely killing her solo. Then she transitioned into the rapid strum power chords, and things started to get weird.

Dialogue
The air started to shiver, or something. I know that doesn’t really make sense, but that’s the only way I can describe it. The lights went dark and the power cut, but the notes kind of stayed there.

Then it all seemed to fall in on itself. People started screaming and running. The walls and ceiling started to shake and crumble.

Then I saw it. This little crack overhead, with darkness spilling out. Just for a moment. Then it was gone.

Really? I was just making a point. I didn’t expect you to actually do it.

Right. Thank you. This certainly solves one of my problems. As for the other one… You should speak to the band. They might have a better idea of what actually happened.

If you can figure it out, maybe we won’t have to cancel the rest of their run after all.

Scanning the area… I am detecting traces of dark energy, Commander, but nowhere near that of a typical surge… Incoming hail.

You newshounds really can’t take no for an answer. I don’t need this, you know. It’s already been a stressful day. The boss just gave me a tongue-lashing. As if this is all my fault.

Now I catch you snooping when I told you to get lost? I try to be fair, you know. I’m not like the other guys, going on power trips for the sake of it. But you’re not giving me much choice here.

The concert that caused a surge? Of course I did. Thalloran music is so bad that it warps spacetime.

Oh, right. Erm… Let’s keep this to ourselves, alright? If the boss found out I tried to kick out a good Samaritan, she might lose it for good.
