While odd triggers and strange powers were a fact of life for parahumans,<ref name="SB1"/> they were generally following an internal logic. With the death of Scion, the shard network lost the ability to maintain itself.

A broken trigger occurred in the nascent city, getting in the way of a domestic dispute that [[Bitch]] was resolving; it consisted of a parahuman who spread black ooze with each injury, gradually damaging himself before he died and spread it to a second host.<ref name="e.4 e1">She could see the capes fighting, down below.  A man was at the center of it.

Almost a fifth of the regular triggers we’ve heard of.  Two in three days.  One’s still loose, the others died or destroyed themselves.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/11/12/teneral-e-4/ Excerpt] from [[Teneral e.4]]</ref>
