A power failure weakened the containment systems around the black hole chamber. Before the team could bring the full power back, two creatures made it through. One of them escaped into the area around the site.
The escaped creature killed local animals and then attacked a human maintenance worker, who died. After that, Rafael started a full security sweep of the facility grounds.
Maya told the team that partial repairs would not be enough. Elias warned that every new crossing gave the creatures more time to learn the routes to Earth, and Lena agreed to prepare a full shutdown even if it damaged the research facility.
Nina then found that the gate could be reversed by using all the available energy at once. She also made it clear that the reversal would be dangerous, because anyone near the chamber might get trapped. With that risk in mind, the team began to plan a final operation under emergency conditions.
