With S.W.O.R.D.’s current technology, over 90% of Earth’s communications and video data were under constant monitoring. But recently... something strange had begun to interfere.
At first, the anomaly seemed trivial—just odd astronomical fluctuations picked up by S.W.O.R.D.’s orbital satellites and the Starlink network. Small phase disruptions. Nothing unusual. After all, when observing space, ion storms and charged particles often distorted the data.
That’s what they told themselves—until it happened five times in a single week.
This raised major red flags at S.W.O.R.D.
Soon after, peculiar rumors began circulating across the globe. Urban legends. Isolated incidents that seemed too bizarre to be fabrications... and yet, none appeared connected.
One report claimed a car, driving steadily down a highway, suddenly vanished—only to reappear on a completely different road seconds later.
In another case, someone in an apartment swore that gravity had gone haywire. They jumped and touched a four-meter-high ceiling with ease. Reporters rushed to investigate... but the phenomenon had vanished.
Dozens of incidents like this followed. Bizarre, impossible events—always fleeting. By the time officials arrived, nothing remained. The skeptics dismissed them as hoaxes, attention-seeking stunts.
But S.W.O.R.D. wasn’t convinced. Their agents on the ground confirmed that some of these events—though unrepeatable—had really happened.
