Daeva, have you heard what’s happened?

There’s been a crash.

It was the vanguard ship in our fleet, stationed above the fortress.

• You ask what happened.

A dredgion appeared out of thin air in front of them.

They didn’t have any time to change course and crashed into one another. Our ship went down.

At first I thought they were making lame excuses, but now I understand this was some kind of temporal anomaly.

Everything points to Tiamat’s experiments with temporal energy.

Such incidents are becoming more and more common in Apheta Beluslan.

• ‘Then the problem is that Tiamat has unlocked the secrets to this temporal energy.’

Yes, you look pretty pale, but...

I came across something while I was inspecting the dredgion crash site.

It’s about a place called Tartarus.

Tartarus is the location where Tiamat is stockpiling the power of time which is being gathered throughout Apheta Beluslan.

Could you go to Tartarus and destroy the Time Generator which Tiamat has set up there?

• Accept
• Decline

I assume you understand the gravity of the situation.

The more time energy Tiamat manages to collect, the greater the potential catastrophe.

We have to neutralise the power of time which Tiamat has gathered.

It would be best to completely eradicate it so we have nothing more to worry about.

• ‘I’ll take care of it.’

Travel to Tartarus and destroy Tiamat’s Time Generator.

How did it go?

Did you manage to destroy the Time Generator?

We have to wrest the temporal energy from Tiamat’s clutches before it leads to an even greater catastrophe.

• You give your report.

Excellent!

Creating such a generator a second time won’t be easy.

We can’t change what has already happened, but we can ensure it doesn’t happen again.

You have performed well on this dangerous mission.

Fleet Commander Chronos informs you that there has recently been a crash. He believes that Tiamat’s interference with the flow of time is the cause of the accident.

According to our information, Tiamat is stockpiling the temporal energy collected throughout Apheta Beluslan in a place called Tartarus.

You located the Time Generator in Tartarus, destroyed it, and returned, whereupon Chronos thanked you for your help.
