CLEO

For a few minutes, nothing seems to happen. Perhaps whatever that liquid had been, that wasn't how it worked. Then gradually something seems to happen. Where the Sucker had been limp and drifting there is suddenly some tension in its huge length. Then suddenly the leeches begin to move in a somewhat agitated way. They initially just hunker down, but the smaller ones begin running into larger ones, combining into single organisms, like the reverse of bacteria dividing until eventually a single leech remains, although at this point the resemblance is more to a Dune-esque sand-worm. It doesn't look like this final stage will be escaped without a fight.

VENGEANCE
The Catalyst replaces the hood and growls "Stop grovelling. We know exactly where he is, you can just about see him with your naked eye from where you stand"

The hologram switches from the Society to the whole room being invisible, and then with a lurch zooms in on the black-speck in the sky, where, as Aurelia, Twitch and Marisa witnessed earlier, Doomforall drifts in space, black root like tendrils encasing him and projecting forth into trying to burrow through the great force field.

"You and your compatriots will need to fight pasts the Rift energy and recover Doomforall if he is still alive (or not for that matter) and then hopefully this crisis will be averted"
