An unexplained blackout affected East Verge for over two hours last night. When municipal repair teams arrived on-site, they discovered that the electrical conduit feeding the affected blocks does not exist on any official infrastructure map.
Even more baffling: scans reveal the conduit has no known power source, and its wiring appears to shift slightly each time it is observed. Witnesses reported flickering figures near the junctions—described as “echoes of engineers in suits that shimmered.”
Temporal mechanics teams have cordoned off the area, suggesting the conduit may be a leftover construct from a collapsed timeline—one that was never supposed to exist in this version of Veridion. Officials advise avoiding the blackout zone, though some scavengers claim the phantom conduit hums in response to thoughts.
