We Interrupt Your Regularly Scheduled Tracing to Bring You This Very Important Announcement:

Eyewire HQ has received reports from around the world of deep chasms that have suddenly appeared. Where these portals lead to is unknown for the moment. Cries of war seem to be emanating from the dark depths of the Earth.

Eyewitnesses tell of fearsome scorpion-tailed monsters emerging from the depths, moments after the chasms tore open the Earth.

Is this a sign of things to come? Is Earth facing another catastrophe, or will heroes rise to protect us all?

Titans against humans and the Olympian Gods: the Titan Wars are unleashed. Who will win? Trace for Olympian point bonuses, fun, glory and the chance to name a cell! And as always, for science!!!
