Log Entry #056: Glitch Gauntlet - Reality Shards
The structural integrity of Glitch Gauntlet constructs (ref: Log #010, Log #046) is deteriorating at an accelerated pace. Operators are now encountering "Reality Shards" – temporary, unstable fragments of what appear to be *other game environments* or even entirely different dimensional layers, manifesting as hazardous platforms or environmental anomalies within the Gauntlets.
One moment an Operator might be leaping across standard data-platforms, the next they might encounter a brief flash of an Astro-Block Blitz asteroid field, or a section of a Neon Grid Runner track appearing as a treacherous, shifting surface. These shards are highly unpredictable and often defy the established physics of the Gauntlet they intrude upon.
This phenomenon is likely an advanced form of the "Reality Bleed" noted in Log #040, potentially exacerbated by the Anomaly Nexus (Log #051) further warping the Grid's fabric. Navigating the Glitch Gauntlets now requires adaptation not just to their inherent instability, but to the sudden intrusion of alien realities.
