| A Soviet Aether experiment gone wrong resurfaces in the present as Jason Hawke, Amara Javed, Kai Richter, and Elara Stone are deployed to investigate a Cold War research base that suddenly reactivated after nearly four decades, only for them to find the entire facility frozen in time and infested with crystalline corpses animated by Aether corruption. The team discovers that the base had attempted to contain an entity born from the earliest rupture — an obsidian-armored Aetherborn crowned with the sigil of the Black Sun — which awakens and effortlessly tears through the ruins while declaring that the world has already been marked for collapse. Forced to retreat through the snow as Aetherborn pour from fractures in reality, the strike team barely escapes aboard a VTOL, where Hawke uncovers a Soviet keycard labeled “Project Eclipse” and Elara reluctantly reveals that Eclipse was an abandoned international operation tied to a threat her old unit failed to destroy. As an Aether rift opens beside the aircraft and the Black Sun Entity reaches through it to proclaim that “the Night Sentinel must awaken,” the team realizes the breach they witnessed is only the beginning of a far greater catastrophe tied directly to Hawke himself. | ||||||

| 1 | 1 | "CITY OF LOST EPOCHS" | Freddie Goodwin | Freddie Goodwin | November 2024 | 101 |
| In an ancient extradimensional archive known as the Archive of Echoes, Scarlett Rhodes is drawn into a vast subterranean library filled with relics and living tomes, where she encounters an otherworldly Guardian claiming knowledge of all timelines and warning that the Dark Aether is awakening once more. Joined by Bruno Delacroix, Diego Necalli, and Stanton Shaw, she learns that the Warden’s actions have revived the “First Breach,” prompting the Guardian to insist that the Chaos team must enter a newly forming portal to confront a threat emerging from the origin point of the Aether incursion. The group steps through and arrives in a collapsed, reality-fractured metropolis called the City of Lost Epochs, where Aether-corrupted undead converge around them. As a massive Dark Aether titan known as the First Lord materializes above the city, the Chaos crew prepares for a renewed conflict, signaling the beginning of a second chapter in their struggle. | ||||||
| 2 | 2 | "THE SENTINEL PARADOX" | Freddie Goodwin | Freddie Goodwin | December 2024 | 102 |
| In the City of Lost Epochs, the Chaos crew pursues an unstable energy signature to a dimension-torn cathedral where they discover the Sentinel Artifact—an ancient Chaos relic fused with Dark Aether power and on the verge of triggering a multiversal collapse. As Scarlett attempts to stabilize it, a portal opens and Collins, Reyes, Owen, and Kim arrive, having followed the Warden into this realm. After a brief standoff, the two groups recognize they are fighting the same threat and join forces as the Artifact begins to fracture. The Warden announces the start of a new “Sentinel Paradox,” prompting both crews to push deeper into the Paradox Cathedral, a shifting hybrid environment born from Chaos, Aether, and broken timelines. Inside, they confront memory echoes, corrupted versions of themselves, ancient visions, and manifestations of the Warden’s evolving power while learning that the Artifact once anchored entire realities and chose both Scarlett and Collins as its successors. By activating three fusion pylons aligned with Aether, Chaos, and human energy, they briefly stabilize the Artifact before it shatters and transforms the cathedral into a cosmic gateway. The Warden appears and challenges them to enter his domain, leading the combined eight-person roster to step through the newly formed portal together. | ||||||
