Members of Lectios De Obitus are spotted by SERBA scouts, barely outside of their borders.
Upon spotting these members, they are contacted via a team of 12 footmen and 2 heavy drones, as well as 1 scouting drone. After inquiring about them and what they do, they are offered the freedom to roam in and around SERBA claimed land, as well as possible investing so long as they collaborate with SERBA. More collaboration equates to more payments, and payments will only be given once the tasks relayed to them are accepted and finished.
After a good while of testing, scientists manage to catch a glimpse of a unstable and short-lived form of dark-matter. This was achieved through opening a portal into subspace, and beginning to rapidly shift gravitational pulls as well as electromagnetic pulls back and forth simultaneously at excessive speeds through a device dubbed ████. After shifting gravitational and electromagnetic pulls back for 2 hours, and continuing to accelerate with each pull back and forth, as the forces fluctuate against each other what can be recorded as "black ripples of lightning and a dark purple gas" appearing in place before the portal collapsed and said materials simply vanished. The only information released/leaked regarding this discovery is the fact that dark matter has been officially discovered, and that it has been discovered by SERBA. Further studies are planned and initiated, more prominently now in 'Dark Energy', and how to stabilize Dark Matter into said energy.
FTI is also contacted, offering minor investment and trading.
