Let it begin anew
A little over a year has passed since the invasion that rocked the planet. A year since conflict tore a country in two. A year since extraordinary people convinced a being far beyond them of their right to exist. In that year, the world has made every effort to rebuild.
Communities have risen anew, while others have made efforts to heal. Others lie in ruins. Life goes on. And in this time, it seems that extraordinary things have left the Earth alone.
Or maybe they've just been lying in wait.
It begins with slime. As the dawn breaks in New Zealand on the 25th, while it's still the afternoon of the 24th in Gateway City, news reports all over the world remark upon the sudden appearance of spheres green, gelatinous slime. This is all over the world. They do not fall from the sky, they do not appear with a sudden burst of light. They suddenly begin to be, congealing in plain sight like algae in a pond, or moss upon the trunk of a tree.
The balls of slime are not poisonous. They are sticky, and gooey, but all they do is seem to sit there. They may grow bigger over time, but they don't do anything to suck people in. But when a Numbered comes in contact with them... well, that just might make things more interesting.
If one takes a closer look at the slime, the scientific method would yield interesting results: They're composed of the same newly discovered single-celled life form that appeared in the wake of the invasion. But all they do is divide, and multiply. Grow, and coalesce.
A year ago, the world changed in fire and understanding. Today, it all begins again. With slime.

My break is just about over. I suppose I'll investigate the slime with you. But you come here. I have to close so I'll be exhausted.

[True to her word, it wasn't long until Emilia arrives through the teleporter and arrives as Celine is closing up.]
Hey, Celine!
[Action]
"Hey Emi." She certainly looked tired. "Did you find anything out before coming here?" Straight to business. Of course.

Definitely echo related..."
And there is one of the balls of slime right outside. They'll need to be careful or they'll end up stepping in it.

"Why don't you give it a poke? I am actually curious as to what it will do."
