It appears one of the veils has outsmarted us.... Almost.
Somehow, Earth Nine formed enough pressure to propel itself away from the rest of the Starveil, heading into light years away from the complex. We were assured it'd be a quick escape, maybe excessively fast, to the point we couldn't catch up to it. And we didn't.
But for a much too unsimilar reason.
As everything comes and goes, Earth Nine has suffered the consequences of its peculiarly-gained momentum : Chaos Magnum. The matter contained in the universe has been found to have collapsed unto itself, creating an everlasting chain of astrophysical torture. The fabrics of its reality intertwining and knotting with each other. A mess of dividing and overlapping atoms. It's practically white noise.
To not consider the futility of seeking Earth Nine in this state is simply foolish. That being said, this phenomenon is not at all out of our interest. For I can almost hear the matter thinking.
