The narrative assertion
"The Melkur's active utterance of 'Soon.' (beat_76adeee7dd6348c3) is followed by Tremas's scientific confirmation of 'strange energy readings' and an 'inexplicable force taking possession of Traken' (beat_93a62598bf682012), escalating the supernatural threat into measurable scientific reality."
