Encounter with the [[Shadow Sphere]] within [[The Ink]] on [[Earth 44]] by military personnel of [[Command]]
Creation of [[The Black-eyed Army]] through traversal via the [[Shadow Sphere]] to different realities. [[The Sword]] was also affected by change, but was in part preserved through the presence of the [[Purple bio-stone]] which kept [[Cristina Thompson]] in control of his actions. The [[Purple bio-stone]] also allowed [[The Black-eyed Army]] to escape the entities that were torturing them.
