The vortex continued its violent thrashing. The black tower was breaking apart, its structure dissolving into chaotic data fragments.

And then, the vortex began to shrink, rapidly contracting. It pulled in the remaining alien entities, the fragments of the black tower, and seemingly, the entire energy field of the nexus.

I lay there in the darkness for a long time, unable to move. Eventually, I heard footsteps and voices. Flashlights appeared in the distance.
