The instant Nigel landed on the ground after jumping out of the port on the doomed C.S.L. Into the Lithe Lea, there emerged behind him a dazzling, blinding light, first blocked by the falling frame of the Lea but soon visible as a vertex, then elongating across half of the entire sky. For a moment he considered using the Closer, which was ridiculous for a fracture of this size, and it slightly shamed him that his mind had brought this up as a solution. It was irrelevant and distracting.
By this time fibers from the other side had anchored the tear to the rocky ground and were pulling the thing open further and further, finally parting enough for small vessels to break through. The first few only detonated, knocking out of the sky what Nigel realized were the remnants of the Coast Guard; after this, wave followed wave and he was left alone on the cliff edge as the invaders made a name for themselves.
His eyes narrowed, widened, then narrowed again. After this he remained motionless.
