The weapon, made from an unknown alloy, pulsates with digital numbers, baffling forensic scientist Dr. Felix Moreau. Officer Mark Ridley shares local legends about the clocktower, suggesting it may be linked to disappearances. As they delve into the investigation, the weapon vibrates in Shaw's hand, and a shimmering portal opens in the clocktower, revealing a cloaked figure.
