At the site of the dungeon where the [Hagalaz] squad of Trinity went in, a plethora of people congregated. Guild's staff, government agents, researchers, journalists, and even the Mobius.
None were civilians, for the place had been off-limits for the general public. A state of emergency had been erected around the site, although thankfully, the gate was located at a field outside the northern wall, away from the residential area.
Five days ago, the dungeon gate suddenly changed. It wasn't changed to red, but all the way to a black gate. And as if that wasn't bad enough, the gate was closed. It refused any entry, so even Trinity couldn't send in their espers to support and rescue the trapped raiding squad, including their prized guide.
