Hello, I'm Titania McGee with Channel 5 News, your best source for up-to-date information.

Things took a darker turn earlier today when a time rift opened up in a remote village near Veta Lake, and several creatures came through before it destabilized. Our Atebusian expert says that these creatures are known as riftborn, and are created from the chaos of time and space itself.

The authorities have relocated these beasts to containment units at the coliseum until they can be properly dealt with. Citizens are advised to remain indoors until the authorities can ensure another of these rifts will not open up.
