S01 00.5 – FLAMECON

Intro Music – Breathe, by Chill Carrier https://chillcarrier.bandcamp.com/ 

Voiceover: Manifestations is a podcast of the Ostium Network 

Voiceover: Time is not linear, but our story is. 

Please join us … on our journey. We, are Manifestations. 

Music becomes dramatic then fades out 

Location: Computer/Research Station Background: Music is introspective 

[Computer noises, steady beeps, radio static] [Signal distortion – Notification Alarm] 

QILA: Anomaly 

Ops Spec: QILA, open the temporal feed. I need to report this. 

QILA: Yes. Of course. 

[beeps as channel is opened] 

Ops Spec: Tractus Ops for Tractus Actual 

Tractus Actual: This is Tractus Actual. Go ahead Ops. 

Ops Spec: I’m transmitting details on a Level 7 anomaly just detected in Zone November Alpha Four Seven Romeo. 

Tractus Actual: Understood. Have you confirmed originating spatial and temporal coordinates? 

Ops Spec: 

40 degrees 45 minutes 44.1 seconds North 73 degrees 58 minutes 53.3 seconds West. The location is definitely in the restricted zone, Old New York City. Temporal coordinates place it just before the event leading up to the start of The Reset. In contemporary dating it would be [pause] August 17th or 18th, 2019. 

Tractus Actual: Confirmed receipt of details. Continue to monitor. Tractus Actual out. 

[beeps as channel closes] 

Unknown Voice: This sounds like it could be serious. 

Tractus Actual: You were listening? That’s a volatile time. But, a Level 7 anomaly? This could have a historic impact. We need on-site readings. Prepare your team. 

Unknown Voice: We’ll be ready.
