Using the Crucible Horror to Inhabit the building, Chantal and Shep turn the building inside out to have all the living people safely out and all the hive material to be forced back. When a large mindshattering disgusting crab-like monstrosity emerges and thanks the Crucible for playing their part, the group ponders on whether they had just made dealings with the devil itself. It was then the unexpected occured. The hive suddenly imploded as the Crab thing attempted to leave, crushing it asunder as it ripped itself out of existence and tore a hole into reality itself. With a tear into the Underworld created, the Maelstorm surged into the chamber and nearly tore the Crucible apart had it not been for the Haunters' quick thinking. Realising the rift and the surging Maelstorm have to be stopped, the group ponders on what can be done when another complication rises to the fore. Vincent returns, demanding Uriah Bishop be surrendered to him. Not wanting to lose the only person who might actually know what is going on in the other side in full detail, the Crucible permit him to escape and thankfully watch Vincent focus instead on chasing after him rather than stirring up trouble for the group.
