Kinetic Energy Release Flash

A violent burst of light and energy erupts from the garage during Doctor Tyler’s experiment, illuminating the unit lab through seared metal bulkheads. The flash carries the force of Tyler’s vanished antimatter reaction, momentarily blinding Benton before he feels the heat against his face. Acrid ozone lingers in the air, sharp enough to sting; afterward, the garage door hangs skewed, its edges blackened where energy escaped through the drains.

The Doctor identifies it not merely as an explosion but as the creature’s kinetic energy release, embedding the event in the unfolding horror of an entity crossing from another reality.
