The Black Mesa Incident has shaken the Earth.
Gordon Freeman, the only hope for humanity, dead on some distant island within the Borderworld.
The invasion came swiftly, few survivors remain. Within the span of a week, the world was overtaken.
Humanity has been subjugated. The Nihilanth's Army reigns supreme.
The events of the Oscillations of Darkness take place 14 years after the Nihilanth's conquest of Earth.
Humanity's number dwindles as beasts and creatures of all types prowl the world.
In this Alternate Universe, the Combine has not invaded Earth, but have completely overtaken the Borderworld of Xen.
The Nihilanth seized its moment, and invaded through the few portals it had, due to Gordon Freeman dying before he could stop the operation.
Humanity now lives in a state of constant oppression, far worse than anything like we know.
They have all been forced to local urban centers, like pigs to pens, waiting their turn for the slaughter.
They have taken the lowest rung of the totem pole, being forced to labor all day, or face the dangers that lay outside of the walls of the city.
All of Xenian hierarchy follows a simple social order.
Your level within this order is predestined at creation. No beast may move or change their role.
@Imperator RAD-X (The Tyrant.)
2. Controllers [0/2] - The local workforce leaders, commanding the local citizenry to work. They fly about, too and frow, keeping all humans inline.
3. Grunts [0/3] - The brutes. The soldiers of the cities. They are the directly responsible for the take-over of Earth. Now, seen in cities keeping control, when needed.
4. Vortigaunts [0/4] - The previous slaves, now holding some hierarchy. Few have defected from the Nihilanth since the invasion, be it of fear or choice. They now serve as the "model" denizen, a worker who chooses to stay under control.. Perhaps they are just biding their time?
5. Houndeyes [0/2] - The guard dogs, the bloodhounds. Tamed sometime after the invasion, now used by the Nihilanth’s army to keep citizens in check, or to seek them out in the wilds.
1. Shock Troopers [0/2] - Beasts previously a foe of the Nihilanth's forces, now an uneasy friend. They help on patrols of the cities from time to time.
2. Pit Drones and Voltigores [0/2] (EACH) - Scavengers, pests, the scum of the urban centers. Seen as the "Underclass" they're barely sentient, if at all. They don't seem to be outright hostile, and appear to have some sort of crude intellect. They have been allowed to live within the 'slums', and sometimes appear to work together.
1. Humans [∞] - The underlings, the less advanced, the un-adapted. The lowest ring of society, just above the pests that are the Pit Drones and Voltigores. You've been forced to work, day in, day out. Provide, work, sleep. Provide, work, sleep. The worst is yet to come..
The Urban Centers, the corrals of the remaining humans. They're desolate, and in disrepair. They exist until humanity dies out.
There are only 26 Urban Centers left, with two of which designated solely as factories to produce more Alien Grunts.
The centers were named by the Kingpins, of which there is one or two at every center.
The main twenty-four urban centers are named after the Greek Alphabet..
This epistle in the Oscillations of Darkness takes place at the very first Urban Center;
URBAN - CENTER : Ω
Now, we dive into the lives of the unfortunate, the crushed dreams of the damned. We take a peek into this crumbling metropolis.

Hello, and thank you for reading!
I was inspired to make this event after hearing about the old event "Coterminous."
This SS is in a way, a tribute. A reimagining of this old story. A fresh twist on the groundwork laid.
I'll be adding a rough application, if anyone wants to apply, even though this is still an event submission, technically. Who knows.
Thank you, this has been Ramen!
