The Event
The Event[]
At the end of the countdown, the Dark Harvester began gradually dispensing all of its Golden Cube energy into the Zero Point Shards. Leading to the partial re-awakening of The Zero Point as it tethers Rift Gates to different Realities.
Having expended all the energy of the vessel, the Dark Harvester temporarily hovered slightly tilted over the Zero Point Shards, unresponsive as its lights flickered until it reactivated shortly after the event.
