"At 10:29 AM, on July 18th, 2063, a massive monolithic structure appeared 4 kilometers southwest of San Fransisco, CA, USA. Analysis of the object from afar have shown that it is definitely not of a human origin, and have led speculation that it is an Angel Polyp. Due to this, all flights, shuttles and Q-Ports within 35 kilometers and having to move within 35 kilometers of the Monolith are now closed until further notice. This has caused outrage from the citizens of the San Fransisco Bay Area, who have attempted to protest against TUDF's (Trans-Universal Defense Force) random embargo on all long-distance transportation, effectively giving millions no better method of transportation to important meetings, and so on. TUDF has stated that Angel Polyps (and other Angel development stages) are extremely dangerous and should not under any circumstance be close enough to said Polyp, in fear of being destroyed."

Poland stood on the top of the balcony and stared at the monolith. Since he was about 22 kilometers away from it, he could barely see it from the intruding skyline of a bizarre San Fransisco; it was absolutely monstrous, however (about five kilometers high), so it still stuck out like a sore thumb, along with its pure black, smooth exterior.
