STORY-CONTINUES: The surreal blackout chapter begins lost in time. The noop's disturbing visions lead him to a post apocalyptic mass, where he witnesses evil that was never meant for his eyes. His life reflects upon him, through various seasons of light and dark. In the end he faces a strangely familiar being who bestows him with a deadly mission to rescue his own kind. One that makes him question everything he once knew. He becomes a dark prophet bearing a heavy burden.
