Leo and his team returned to the northern outpost with the knowledge of the cave and its dormant portal. It was clear that the ancient civilization had a deeper connection to the portals than they initially thought. Captain Marcus, who'd just received news of additional energy surges in other regions, called an emergency meeting.
"We've detected more unstable energy readings," he said, pointing to new spots on the map. "The same kind that led you to the hidden cave. We have to assume these are connected to other dormant portals. If we don't contain them, we could be looking at a full-scale disaster."
Leo looked at the map, noticing the spread of the energy surges. "They're moving outward from the main portal. It's like the energy is trying to find a way back into our world."
