## Closing Cinematic

After the final drill rig was disabled, Abe was about to leap through the bird portal when he knocked a plate onto the ground where he picked the plate up to see set of sponge cake-like cakes on the ground as Abe was curious about the strange appearance of it in which the Mudorow Shaman suddenly appeared to tell Abe not eat the cakes as he explained that the Mudokons that ate almost fell sick immediately after consuming the cakes in which the Grizgrin Forest Shaman, Ace, arrived via his own Shaman Circle to tell Abe that a decline in the number of Mudokon eggs in the region has been noted by the Glukkons through out the rest of the South in which Abe question whether or not that their mother was being forced to produce eggs for consumption in which they stated that it was possible.

Elsewhere, a Vykker was sitting in office when the Chronicler known as, Woodson, was talking with the Vykker, Herman. Woodson told Herman that Filson's gas mining operations was stopping without warning and demanded to know whether or not that he was behind it in which Herman told him that just because he was revenge on the Magog Cartel stop his experiments on Glukkon young doesn't mean he was going go and sabotage every random Glukkon as his strife was with the Cartel not the Glukkon kind. Woodson told Herman that if he finds out that he had something to do with the drills ceasing operation - he will do everything in his power to ruin him as he was invested in PhaultGas and doesn't want to lose another investment like he did with Soulstorm and RuptureFarms. Herman told him that it was likely Molluck returning after he burnt down his farm and stopped the brewery. Herman hung up before Woodson could respond and called a Slig which his Superintendent for his Slig security forces and told the Superintendent to boost security around his research centres as he believed the Molluck the Glukkon was coming to sabotage operations in the South to try to clear his name.
