Galatea in a foreboding place

While on her way to Portal Corporation, Galatea noticed a strange free-forming portal. Donning her Vanguard Armor, she crossed over and found herself in the midst of Dark Astoria, no longer shrouded in fog.

A chill crept down her spine as she saw images that could have come right out of her nightmares. She understood then why the giant doors to the zone had to be closed.

And now a correction from an earlier post...

Previously it was said that only incarnates could access the "changed" Dark Astoria. This was according to information from the developers and in entries in Paragon Wiki. This obviously is not the case.

However, the person that initially corrected me on this still needs to learn the difference between using "NOT" and "not" in an online text forum. (The latter is polite; the former is not.)
