A live cooking show on Channel 9 was abruptly hijacked today when a cloaked figure appeared mid-segment, snapped their fingers, and transformed the entire set into a burning library. The host, visibly dazed, continued reading recipes from flaming pages before the feed collapsed into static.
Viewers across Veridion claimed to feel a sudden shift in atmosphere, with some reporting phantom smells of ink and smoke, while others forgot the show even aired until prompted. The signal left behind a scrambled code loop, now being studied by resistance cryptographers.
Insiders suspect the interloper is linked to a rogue Lucid splinter—an entity no longer tethered to a single version of Veridion. As one viewer posted moments before their account was deleted: “He didn’t just change the channel. He changed the narrative.”
