The Energy Spire in Central District emitted an intense burst of radiant light early this morning, described as “alive” by those who witnessed it. The phenomenon lasted 14 minutes, during which time passersby claimed to hear whispers in multiple languages, some unidentifiable.
The Triumvirate has shut down the area, citing a malfunction in the spire’s energy conversion systems, but resistance observers insist the event aligns with known bleed-through surges. “The light wasn’t just light,” said one witness. “It spoke to me, and I swear it knew my name.”
Technicians remain unable to replicate the anomaly. Rumors persist that this is connected to the recently detected Oracle fragment. Citizens are being urged to remain plugged into the grid and authorities have stated that the neural-link network upgrades should counteract any damage that may have been caused from this event. Nexarch has been quick to deny any financial liabilities citing the “terms and conditions” included in the cities bylaws.
