One day, the shifts in the subnet suddenly became more drastic. In the space of a few seconds, two cities were brought together that had been light-years away from each other in three dimensions, millenia apart in time, and trillions of sub-units apart in the subnet's other dimensions. One city was far more advanced than the other in every way. The buildings of the city of the future towered over the city of the past. The small village had once been the most populous town in its sector of the subnet, but now its population was microscopic compared to the metropolis it had been so unexpectedly dropped next to by the natural forces of the subnet.

The city had been abandoned for a few years now, after earthquakes caused by karmic decay had left the residential areas in ruins. Mur's explorers wandered through the city, stranded there when their coil broke. All of his teams would, at some point, eventually make this mistake of not bringing an extra coil. The team stopped to admire the sculpture that seemed to be the centerpiece of the town plaza. The statue depicted an angel kneeling in defeat, almost as if its makers had predicted the city's future. The explorers moved on, searching for materials they could use for a makeshift coil.
