Core Contingency

Core Contingency is a one-shot video of Spyman's Cosmos, based on the events of the Core Inbound series. The video follows UK prime minister Matthew Clark, and his agent Carl, discussing contingency plans in the event of the Cosmos failing to defeat Diagon. It was released on August 12, 2023.
==Synopsis==
During the chaos of Core Inbound, UK Prime Minister "Matthew Clark" discusses the situation with his agent, "Carl", and reveals the truth of the CPA's involvement. Meanwhile, someone seemed to already know that all of this was about to unfold...
==Plot==
The video begins with an opening shot of the Coldmoor Psychiatric Hospital, one month before the events of Core Inbound. The shot transitions to a hallway inside of the building. Suddenly, a patient begins hammering on her cell door, claiming to have seen visions of Vitreous and Diagon. Manuscripts of various pictures involving Vitreous cover the walls of the cell as Soph experiences a dramatic mental breakdown.
During the events of Core Inbound 5/5, Matthew Clark is seen in his office brandishing a desert eagle handgun. His agent, Carl, enters the room to bring him to safety. Matthew declines his offer, refusing to leave the UK in such a dark time. When questioned by Carl regarding his choice to stay, Matthew begins to explain Britain's plan, mentioning the CPA and the Cosmos. Carl expresses distrust in the Cosmos, refusing to believe that Matthew would entrust the world to them for a moment. However, Carl relents when Matthew informs him that the Cosmos are not alone, revealing that both the CPA and King Gerents army are with them as well.
Matthew reveals in a flashback that, many years ago, he and Gerent made a deal to offer aid to one another in times of need. In the present, Matthew has kept his word, sending the British Army and the CPA to assist Skyopolis and the Cosmos. Carl finally understands, and while he still doesn't trust the Cosmos getting the job done, he admits that he now has a little more hope with the CPA and Gerents army there.
One week after Core Inbound 5/5, the Coldmoor Psychiatric Hospital stands amidst a purple sky backdrop. Inside, an elevator opens, allowing Dr Wrench to view the room that he has arrived to. Behind a reinforced glass window is Soph, staring back at Dr Wrench. The doctor approaches a metal chair, introducing himself to Soph and sitting down. As they talk, Soph reveals that not only did she know every event of Core Inbound, but details of Dr Wrench himself, the agency he works for, and even things entirely unrelated like the usage of clutfunium as a power source. Realising her future-predicting ability, Dr Wrench tells Soph that the CPA will be keeping an eye on her, bidding her fairwell as he leaves the interview.
The video closes with a tranquil shot of a destroyed spider minion, resting in a grassy field illuminated by the purple sky. A lumin passes by the corpse, briefly inspecting it before waddling onwards.
