MissOneDefIntro

10 > Minerva

Alright Velasco, you got me. What's so important about a concert?

20 > Kaya

Something with as many eyes on it as Flare's concert is gonna twist up the timeline like whoa. Make sure they keep playing until my readings are done. And… grab me some promo merch.

30 > Minerva

Temple and the Rippers gig in Solstice Square, Neci was here? In the time before the time we're in now?

40 > Kaya

Exactly. Major entanglement event. You keep Flare alive and shredding, I'll track the fraying timeline.

TempleDefIntro

10 > Viktor

Flare, you flaunted your Rot and your bandmates paid the price. Now you'll get your new friends killed too? How noble.

20 > Viktor

The "artist" Flare is a known agitator, willfully corrupted by Techrot. This cacophony ends. Immediately.

30 > Viktor

Flare, you are wanted for arrest, trial, and execution. By the sound of it, your agonized screeching has already begun. Perhaps we can crank it up a few octaves?

TempleDefFirstWave

40 > Lizzie

Höllvania!!!!

50 > Flare

They wouldn't let you come to us. So we're gonna play this thing so loud that every corner of the city hears the sound of our resistance!

60 > Flare

They said that if we played, they'd kill us.

70 > Lizzie

Just try!

80 > Flare

We are Temple and The Rippers, but we will never be silenced.

90 > Lizzie

Rip it!

100 > Flare

This one is for my bandmates who never got a chance to play for you.

110 > Lizzie

If the music lives, they live.

120 > Flare

Shout out to all those freedom fighters listening on Mobile Voice Radio! I know you can hear us.

130 > Lizzie

Rock over Höllvania.

MissOneDefOutro

70 > Kaya

Wow. So many lives changed track because of this one event. Timeline spaghetti.

80 > Minerva

"If you remember it, you weren't there."

90 > Kaya

Nice job. Flare's safe. Readings were pretty meh, but I got a bootleg and some peelies!

100 > Minerva

Good to know I'm risking my neck in a noble cause.

MissOneExtTechIntro

110 > Kaya

You ever, like, wonder if Techrot utilizes Void energy at the molecular level? Like, if we could prove that was true… We need evidence.

120 > Minerva

I'm up for whatever, Velasco, as long as it can help us find out what happened to Neci.

130 > Kaya

People think the consequences of time travel are all like, 'Oh no, mom and dad never kissed and now I don't exist.' Cute but no. How about cracks in the spatiotemporal fabric followed by the breakdown of reality as we know it. That's what we're trying to prevent here.

140 > Minerva

Hey, if stomping all this Techrot keeps 'reality' intact. I'm here for it.

TempleDefWaveStrt

140 > Viktor

Scaldra, attack.

150 > Viktor

Move in now. Shut it down.

160 > Viktor

Scaldra, rally and attack. Stop the Hex. Stop Flare and what's left of the Rippers.

170 > Viktor

First Scaldra soldier to bring me that guitar gets a week of leave.

180 > Viktor

Shut down this shameful insolence at once.

190 > Viktor

This isn't music. This isn't art. It's a blatant display of Techrot propaganda and I will not stand for it.

200 > Viktor

The Techrot known as Flare is a fugitive, a degenerate, and a vile musician. Silence Flare NOW!

210 > Viktor

Höllvania, cover your ears. I will protect you from this, this sonic onslaught.

220 > Viktor

Flare. You abomination. You nasty chimera. You are choosing to rub our faces in your disgusting mutations. I will teach you shame.

MissOneExtTechMid

150 > Minerva

Ms Velasco, we have already terminated half the designated targets. I do hope your note-taking is keeping up.

160 > Minerva

Confirming extermination proceeding as planned. Midpoint reached. No significant issues.

170 > Kaya

Oh dude, if you could see what I'm seeing. Chronometer going absolutely nutzoid. Keep it up.

MissOneExtTechOutro

180 > Minerva

Elimination quota has been met. Did you get what you needed, Velasco?

190 > Kaya

Um… Well… I think we need to gather more evidence. Stage two, here we come.

200 > Kaya

Techrot screaming on multiple wavelengths, timeline flaws standing out like zits on a cheerleader… interesting!

210 > Minerva

Just so long as this was all worth the effort.

MissOneScaldIntro

220 > Kaya

Scaldra signals are messing with all my equipment. The jerks! Will you, like, take a bunch out and see if that clears things up? I really need clean data.

230 > Minerva

Scaldra termination assignment accepted.

240 > Kaya

Ugh. I hate Scaldra. All their signal jammers and comm pollution are messing up my instrument readings. Wipe 'em out and we get glorious radio silence. At least for a minute.

250 > Minerva

Until Viktor's tantrums start. I'm on it, Ms Velasco.

DefExchUpper

230 > Viktor

Flare, are you trying to become a martyr?

240 > Flare

Martyr? You think you can kill me?

250 > Viktor

You want to help Höllvania? When you couldn't even help your bandmates?

260 > Flare

Trying to get under my skin? You of all people should know, my skin is much thicker than it used to be.

270 > Flare

What's so dangerous about a little rock & roll, Viktor?

280 > Lizzie

Does he fear the corrupted youth will rise?

290 > Lizzie

Little Viktor whimpers. We made him the fool.

300 > Flare

It was all in good fun. Until it wasn't.

310 > Viktor

The fugitive Flare has brought filth to Höllvania. Filthy ideas. Filthy music. Filthy Techrot.

320 > Flare

You said you were a fan. It's not our fault you didn't listen to our lyrics.

330 > Lizzie

Little Viktor wants to play.

340 > Flare

I already told him, we don't have any room in this band for hack wannabes.

350 > Flare

We make music. He's killing the city. Tell me again who the real monster is?

360 > Lizzie

Demon protects, Viktor devours.

370 > Flare

A gracious shout out to my lovely friends providing security today.

380 > Lizzie

They're killing it!

390 > Flare

Höllvania! I need you to know: You are loved. You are needed. You are not disposable.

400 > Lizzie

Reject The Smiling One!

MissOneScaldMid

260 > Minerva

Enemy numbers dropping. Scaldra opposition are as relentlessly mediocre as predicted.

270 > Minerva

Ms Velasco? Half the Scaldra force has been permanently silenced. Check your signals.

280 > Kaya

I'm catching something through the fuzz, sounds like… chanting?

MissOneScaldOutro

290 > Minerva

Did you get what you needed?

310 > Minerva

Velasco, tell me that was worth it.

MissOneLegaHarvIntro

330 > Kaya

Every time a new legacyte gets created I see a tiny temporal surge. Statistically significant? I'll know when I can spot a Peely Pix.

340 > Minerva

Get your equipment ready. The cat and I will deal with the Legacyte.

350 > Kaya

If you harvest a Legacyte under the precise conditions outlined in my model we should see… something. I don't know what, but I'll know it when I see it.

360 > Minerva

Does the Techrot mourn its lost children? Let's go, Kalymos.

MissOneLegaHarvMid

370 > Minerva

Look, we're basically devouring the Techrot's young here. Can you blame it for wanting to change history?

380 > Minerva

The hivemind isn't happy with me, Kaya! I hope this is worth it!

MissOneLegaHarvOutro

390 > Kaya

Oh. Okay. Didn't expect those results but… But… but… Okay I know what to do next.

400 > Minerva

Far be it from me to undermine the confidence of youth.

410 > Kaya

Oh man, when you took out that Legacyte, you wouldn't believe the data spike I saw. Do I know what it means? No. But we're not done yet.

420 > Minerva

It means something's pushing back against what we're trying to do here. Next target, Kaya. Go!

MortarLaunch

410 > Viktor

Tragically, the rippers are short one drummer. Scaldra, provide some percussion. Fire the mortars.

420 > Viktor

Scaldra. Ready the mortars. This 'performance' ends now.

430 > Viktor

Mortars ready? Fire.

MissOneHellTechIntro

430 > Kaya

My 10th-grade science teacher tried to fail me because I refactored the Hails conjecture to reflect non-deterministic modalities. And she was all like, 'we're learning the periodic table'. And I was all like, you're so stupid.

440 > Minerva

Hello! Kaya! Reading Hell-Scrub towers ahead. Will proceed as if that's the plan.

450 > Kaya

First experiment: Hell-Scrub. If there are Peely Pix on any of these exhumed bad boys, I'll detect them and mark the timeline continuum.

460 > Minerva

Wait? When would you have put Peely Pix on a Hell-Scrubber? You know what, it's better if I don't know.

ContPrmptOne

440 > Flare

Come on, let's bring the house down.

450 > Flare

We're not even half way through this set list.

460 > Lizzie

Not gonna quit now are ya?

FloorCollapse

470 > Flare

Still in tune, Lizzie?

480 > Lizzie

We quiver in harmony with our sweet Flare.

490 > Flare

Sound check?

500 > Lizzie

One, two, three. Can't kill We.

510 > Flare

Think that will shut us up?

520 > Lizzie

Little Viktor is so desperate We can smell it.

MissOneHellTechMid

470 > Kaya

Ugh… I can smell the Techrot from here.

480 > Minerva

Oh god, try smelling it from our position. Burnt plastic is potpourri compared to this stuff.

490 > Minerva

Let me get this straight. You detect one of your little stickers on a Hell-Scrubber, and you can use that to track changes in the timeline?

500 > Kaya

You ever written, like, so hard that you could still read what you wrote four pages down in your notebook? Peely Pix are like that, but with time.

MissOneHellTechOutro

510 > Minerva

And that's time. Hell-Scrub complete. Remind me again why it has to be this hard?

520 > Kaya

Yeah, that's because easy things don't leave dents in space-time. Duh. Next mission.

530 > Minerva

Hell-Scrub objective met. You sure this is worth it, Velasco?

DevotteeAttacks

530 > Viktor

Send in a Screamer.

540 > Viktor

Enough of this. Ready a Screamer.

550 > Viktor

Let's show Flare what real vocals sound like. Release the Screamer.

MissOneHellScaldIntro

550 > Kaya

It's lab day. Yay. Here's the dealio: you get those Hell-Scrubbers online and I monitor their sensor clusters for any signs of Void encroachment? Cool? Cool.

560 > Minerva

Yah, chemistry was more my thing, but… you lead the way.

570 > Kaya

These Hell-Scrubbers have been marinating in Techrot for gods knows how long. Get them to work again and that's bound to prime the timeline.

580 > Minerva

Whatever you say, kid.

ScreamerAttacks

560 > Screamer

You. You. You. You. Going dowwnnnnnnnn. Ahhhhhh.

570 > Screamer

Techrot, techrot, techrot, FILTH. AHHHHHHHHH.

580 > Screamer

590 > Screamer

You're going to DIE. DIE. DIE. DIE. DEAD.

600 > Screamer

Scaldra is my LIFE. My service. My EVERYTHING. YEAAAHH.

610 > Screamer

FORRRRR PUUUURITEEEEEE. YEAH.

620 > Screamer

Smash it, shake it. Kill it, break it. Crush it, take it.

630 > Screamer

Ready or not, here I COME.

640 > Screamer

Techrot bleeds for me!

650 > Screamer

Pray for a purge. Pray for a purge. Pray for a purge.

660 > Screamer

Black sun. Blood moon. Oceans of pain are here for yooooouuuu!!!!!

670 > Screamer

Ripped sky. Tortured earth. Nothing born and everything dies.

680 > Screamer

I am your deafening.

690 > Screamer

Abolish the abomination. Kill its creation.

700 > Screamer

Heretic… I am your salvation.

MissOneHellScaldMid

590 > Minerva

Oh gah...Sure wish Scaldra had put up this kind of fight before they lost their Hell-Scrubbers the first time around.

600 > Minerva

You call that a spore cloud? I'll show you a spore cloud.

MissOneHellScaldOutro

610 > Kaya

Whoa. Um… Minerva. There's something here. Not sure what but something.

620 > Minerva

Always better than nothing. What's next?

630 > Minerva

That's a wrap, did you get what you need?

640 > Kaya

I got a lot of noise. And I'll need a lot more noise to see if there's a pattern. Then maybe I can find something. Easy peasy, right?

650 > Kaya

This is, like, the concert of 1999. The temporal ripples from this one event are off the charts. Plus, Flare is way hotter than any of those silly On-lyne boys.

660 > VelimirII

At least I can understand what those boys are singing.

670 > VelimirII

What's the plan, Kaya? Security detail?

680 > Kaya

It's just a hunch, but Neci saw an instance of this concert before she disappeared. You keep the show going and I'll watch the chronometer for any fluctuations that might be related to her.

MissTwoDefMid

690 > VelimirII

Is this what the kids are calling a mosh pit? I can see the appeal.

700 > Kaya

If anyone asks you don't know me.

710 > VelimirII

Neci saw this show?

720 > Kaya

Yeah, but she got to see it when the Rippers were still alive.

FlareTakingDmg

710 > Flare

Security! Little help.

720 > Flare

Get those guys out of here.

730 > Flare

We must all suffer for our art?

740 > Flare

I've endured nastier critics.

750 > Flare

The show will go on.

760 > Lizzie

We like the hurting.

770 > Lizzie

Give Us more.

780 > Lizzie

Do not scratch Our enamel.

790 > Lizzie

Blood made Us. Blood fuels Us.

MissTwoDefOutro

730 > Kaya

I got something on the scope. What the-? Who… How… I don't know what that was. It could have been her.

740 > VelimirII

Right. Well… That's part of the reason we're here, isn't it? No time to get sentimental.

760 > Kaya

That's a wrap. Nobody died that wasn't supposed to.

760 > VelimirII

Over already? I was just getting into it.

MissTwoExtTechIntro

770 > Kaya

Before I can explain why we're here I need to explain Void emergence and its effects on temporal cohesion. Ready?

780 > VelimirII

How about you sweat the details and I'll stick to dismantling Techrot.

790 > Kaya

So, Marty, you came here through the Helminth, right? Bonkers idea! What if Techrot is entangled with the temporal dimension! I wanna see what happens to my chronometer readings when you take out a whole bunch at once. Go.

800 > VelimirII

Now, isn't this stuff supposed to have a hivemind somewhere? You really want to risk pissing it off?

FlareNrDth

800 > Viktor

Regretting your decisions, Flare.

810 > Viktor

Looking a little worse for wear.

820 > Viktor

Scaldra. They're weak. Push.

830 > Viktor

Should have quit while you were ahead.

MissTwoExtTechMid

810 > Kaya

Hey, so the Techrot might seem a tiny bit more PO'd than usual. Don't be alarmed, it's part of my research.

820 > VelimirII

Alarmed? I'd do this for fun.

830 > VelimirII

So you want all this Techrot junked?

840 > Kaya

And recycled, where applicable.

ContPrmptOngoing

840 > Flare

We were just getting started.

850 > Flare

We could dip into our back catalog.

860 > Flare

Should we stay or should we go. Hmm… That could actually make a good song.

870 > Flare

Let's give it another go, sugar.

880 > Lizzie

We want more!

890 > Lizzie

You cannot be spent, demon! Not while We seethe!

900 > Lizzie

Come on. You know little Viktor wants to hear an encore.

910 > Flare

Hear that? They still want more.

920 > Lizzie

We got lots more in US.

MissTwoExtTechOutro

850 > Kaya

Velimir, we are making slow, but real progress.

860 > VelimirII

Great! I'm happy for us. Sincerely. So who's next?

MissTwoExtScaldIntro

870 > Kaya

Entrati was in deep with Scaldra when he started his timeline shenanigans. Clear this bunch out and we'll see what the readings tell us.

880 > VelimirII

We get to intimidate them? Nice.

890 > Kaya

The Indifference was pulling the Major's strings, so it's got its fingerprints all over Scaldra. Take down a few and we'll see what shakes out.

900 > VelimirII

Guess Minerva was right. Neci was getting in with a bad crowd.

MissTwoExtScaldMid

910 > Kaya

Pace yourselves. We got beaucoup empirical data to gather. But hey, look on the bright side, removing all safety and ethical checks has really sped things up.

920 > VelimirII

How reassuring.

930 > VelimirII

Killing Scaldra for science! Because we're the good guys. Go team.

940 > Kaya

Dude, you're helping to push back against a bunch of assholes! The science is a bonus.

TempleDefFailed

930 > Viktor

You picked the wrong side, Flare.

940 > Viktor

Good. Now, Scaldra, erase all signs of this mess.

950 > Viktor

Ah… The silence is such sweet music.

960 > Viktor

Say hello to your band mates for me, Flare.

970 > Viktor

That guitar is mine.

MissTwoExtScaldOutro

950 > Kaya

Okay! The model's taking shape! All those little datapoints are adding up very nicely.

960 > VelimirII

Glad to be of service, princess.

970 > Kaya

So if this comes down to keeping the timeline we know and love, OR getting Neci back…

980 > VelimirII

If it comes to that, you better let me know, Kaya.

TempleDefComp

980 > Flare

Thank you, Höllvania!

990 > Flare

Höllvania! Never give up.

1000 > Flare

Höllvania, stay safe, stay strong, I love you all.

1010 > Lizzie

We're here all year!

1020 > Lizzie

It's been a riot.

MissTwoLegaHarvIntro

990 > Kaya

This is a perfect opportunity to harvest Legacytes under test conditions! Three ought to do it.

1000 > VelimirII

Couldn't you go down to the stream and poke frogspawn like a normal kid?

1010 > Kaya

Fun fact. Legacyte ancestral memory runs across multiple timelines! Nobody knows how they do it!

1020 > VelimirII

So I get to round 'em up and sift through their brains. Eh, I guess it's honest work.

MissTwoLegaHarvMid

1030 > VelimirII

Okay, another one in the bag. Hey Kaya - are we learning anything from this?

1040 > Kaya

So far, there's a Techrot outbreak in every single variant timeline. It's like it's… spreading.

1050 > VelimirII

I swear these things are getting smarter.

1060 > Kaya

They are! Each new generation learns from the mistakes of the last… don't you DARE turn that into a mentor speech.

MissTwoLegaHarvOutro

1070 > VelimirII

Okay, now that last one was an ugly son-of-a-b.

1080 > Kaya

Yeah, reminded me of this kid in middle-school who used to pull my hair and then run away. Gods, if I could find him now. What were we doing? Oh yeah, next experiment!

1090 > VelimirII

Kalymos is happy. Is Kaya happy?

1100 > Kaya

Hell yeah. Those poor Legacytes are like data piñatas. I know where we need to go.

MissTwoHellTechIntro

1110 > VelimirII

Okay, Kaya, we're going to get these Hell-Scrubbers up and running. You do- Um… Whatever it is you're doing.

1120 > Kaya

Already on it.

1130 > VelimirII

Rub-a-dub-dub, who's up for a scrub.

1140 > Kaya

Gods, you are so embarrassing sometimes.

MissTwoHellTechMid

1150 > VelimirII

Yeah, this is a world worth saving. Screaming fungus and demon appliances. Gotta make sure all this survives.

1160 > Kaya

People tell me it's better than oblivion…

1170 > VelimirII

Kaya… I gotta ask, how is this 'science'? I'm scrubbing the freakin' streets over here!

1180 > Kaya

Every teeny-tiny Techrot particle sucked up into those towers has a tale to tell.

MissTwoHellTechOutro

1190 > VelimirII

I think we sucked up some of the old O.R.O. research data. Damn, those people were into some shady shit. Move on. Let's wrap this up.

MissTwoHellScaldIntro

1210 > Kaya

Hell-Scrub towers are little treasuries of valuable data! Fire 'em up and I'll jack into the datastream.

1220 > Kaya

Oof. Looks like a crop duster's flown over the sector. Gonna need a lot lower spore count if we're going to proceed here. Scrub up!

MissTwoHellScaldMid

1230 > VelimirII

I seem to remember when these Hell-Scrubbers were "going to stop the rot in its tracks," we were so naive back then.

1240 > Kaya

Not to get all conspiracy theory on you, dude, but Scaldra's not as down on the 'rot as they pretend to be.

1250 > VelimirII

Where'd you learn all this mumbo-jumbo anyway?

1260 > Kaya

When I'd talk to Entrati about particle physics and the Void, and I LOVE to talk about that stuff, he would just, like, listen to me blather on. But I could tell, by the look in his eye, when I had things right and wrong.

MissTwoHellScaldOutro

1270 > Kaya

Techrot patterns are showing some freaky interactivity. Like iron filings on a magnetic field… but alive. Meet up with Minerva and let's finish the assignment.

1280 > Kaya

Whoa. There's words in this. 'Ishlun Jass'... 'Murum Vull'? Can't make it out. Grab Minerva. One more experiment to run.

1290 > VelimirII

So, Minerva, you up for seeing a little live music?

1300 > Minerva

We're the security detail, aren't we? Oh well, you've taken me on worse dates.

1310 > Kaya

Last order of business. Flare's concert tonight. It needs to happen. If Viktor shuts it down, then there's no telling what that does to the timeline.

1320 > Minerva

Nobody touches a single immaculately placed hair on Flare's head. You've got my word.

MissThreeDefMid

1330 > VelimirII

Remember when I used to take you out dancing? Wasn't so long ago.

1340 > Minerva

Don't get any ideas. We've got a job to do.

1350 > Kaya

I can't believe what's going on. The Peely Pix, the chronometer, everything's going crazy. Something is special about this moment. You can't let anything happen to Flare.

1360 > VelimirII

The show will go on. We'll make sure of it.

MissThreeDefOutro

1370 > Kaya

Woo. Yeah. So good. Man. Flare is just… I can't even. Just so good. And oh yeah. So are you guys. Thanks for all your help.

1380 > Minerva

Yeah. Our pleasure.

1390 > VelimirII

PLAY FREE DOVE!!!! Wait… why we stopping??

1400 > Minerva

Come on. Show's over, Vel. Time to go home.

MissThreeExtTechIntro

1410 > Kaya

Homestretch. Take out a whole lot of Techrot, I need the Hivemind all worked up.

1420 > VelimirII

Hey Minerva, remember when I'd get you all worked up?

1430 > Minerva

Just try and focus.

1440 > Kaya

This is the final stage in my research. It's super duper critical that you don't stop kicking Techrot butt. Understood?

1450 > VelimirII

Loud and clear.

MissThreeExtTechMid

1460 > Minerva

Look. I trust the kid, Vel, I do, but this is some heavy voodoo. What if, I don't know, what if we can't make things right?

1470 > VelimirII

Then we go down trying. But we do it together.

1480 > VelimirII

Things are getting pretty heavy down here, Kaya.

1490 > Kaya

I know. I know. Just… Hold on. This is the last mission. I swear.

MissThreeExtTechOutro

1500 > Kaya

You did it. You fully did. Holy frig. I have so much data to sift through now. My gods, I love you guys.

1510 > VelimirII

Our pleasure, kid.

1520 > Minerva

Extermination quota fulfilled. We're heading for exfil, Velasco.

1530 > Kaya

Gods, I thought you were so dead. When can we do this again?

MissThreeExtScaldIntro

1540 > Kaya

This is it. The final experiment. And this one's a doozy. I need you to clear the area of Scaldra. I can't say exactly why. I just know the math checks out.

1550 > VelimirII

I was never much for math, but I trust that you are.

1560 > Kaya

The Scaldra in the area, they're already dead, at least, like, they were. But now they're not, and that's a big problem.

1570 > Minerva

Wait, you're saying we already deep-sixed these guys and if we don't put 'em down again, the wheels come off the universe? That tracks. Vel, let's go.

MissThreeExtScaldMid

1580 > VelimirII

Hey, Scaldra. You could have just gone home and left Höllvania in peace, but you had to show here, didn't ya?

1590 > Minerva

At least the Techrot are mindless drones. What's your excuse, Scaldra?

MissThreeExtScaldOutro

1600 > Kaya

Whoa. Good job we did this. There's a serious Indifference cavity forming in early November. We better make extra sure to wish the Nightingales a happy birthday this year.

1610 > VelimirII

Job done, and we're clocking out.

1620 > Kaya

Roger that. Okay, Drifter, you ought to be able to loop without pitching us all into oblivion.

MissThreeLegHarvIntro

1630 > Minerva

So, Velasco, I got a question. Was the Techrot part of the original timeline or is this all Entrati's doing?

1640 > Kaya

I… I don't really know. The timeline is murky, and history doesn't really survive the loop. Either-way it's a load-bearing event and we have to keep it contained. My research is showing that the Legacytes are a huge part of that, so take out as many as you can.

1650 > Kaya

Look, we know the Helminth is connected to the future. And we know the Techrot Hivemind and the Helminth are, like, distant cousins or whatever. So if we eliminate the Hivemind's Legacytes, we starve it of energy and we start to repair damage to the timeline. In theory.

1660 > VelimirII

In theory? Well, I've risked more on worse intel. Let's go.

MissThreeLegHarvMid

1670 > VelimirII

Ya know I kinda like this kitty. Hey, what do you say about getting a cat for the bar?

1680 > Minerva

You know I'm allergic.

The Infestation, The Indifference, the messed up timeline, all the data says they're connected, but I can't figure out how. And if I don't figure this out everything just gets messed up and-

1700 > VelimirII

Whoa. Kaya. You didn't make this mess and if all you do is keep it from getting just a little bit worse, well that's a win in my books.

1710 > Minerva

All Legacytes eliminated. Is our mission complete, Velasco?

1720 > Kaya

Science is never complete. But there is so much more research to be done. This timeline isn't going to maintain itself, you know?

1730 > Minerva

Okay, Velasco, all assignments completed as outlined. We are coming home. Velimir, all this timeline nonsense is making me thirsty.

1740 > VelimirII

How about Vel mixes you up an Old Fashioned. I know just how you like 'em.

MissThreeHellTechIntro

1750 > Minerva

What's the deal with all these Peely Pix? Don't we have more important things to worry about?

1760 > Kaya

First off, Peely Pix are awesome and collectible and I don't need a reason. Secondly, because you asked, they're like timeline breadcrumbs. Each one marking a moment. And when I find one, like on a Hell-Scrubber, we know we've been here before. So make with the scrubbing.

1770 > VelimirII

Next on the docket, a Hell-Scrub.

1780 > Minerva

Jeez you're not kidding. I'm going to need a Hell-Scrub after this mission. Gods, so much Techrot.

MissThreeHellTechMid

1790 > Minerva

I always thought science was a lot more stuffy than this.

1800 > Kaya

It's not science, it's Archimedea!

1810 > VelimirII

Gods damn. This is a workout. Should have stretched.

1820 > Minerva

You better be getting what you need, Velasco.

MissThreeHellTechOutro

1830 > Kaya

Oh my gods, we did it. I mean, for today. The timeline is still a total mess and there's a lot we don't understand, but we did it for today. Yay.

1840 > Minerva

Yay. I need a drink.

1850 > Kaya

Good run, all. We identified some real doozies on the timeline. So as long as Drifter never feeds pizza to a Legacyte on a Tuesday, we oughtta be good...

MissThreeHellScaldIntro

1860 > Kaya

And for our last mission, a Hell-Scrub!

1870 > Minerva

Oh boy. Just what I wanted.

1880 > Kaya

Okay, one last experiment. This is going to be a tough one so, stay frosty.

1890 > VelimirII

Very funny, Kaya. Never heard that joke before. Frickin' kids these days.

MissThreeHellScaldMid

1900 > VelimirII

Minerva. You know whatever we do here, it's not going to bring Neci back, right?

1910 > Minerva

I know, but maybe we can stop the same thing from happening again.

1920 > Minerva

Hey, Kaya, you think that with your research into all this timeline stuff that there's a chance we could stop Neci from ever joining Scaldra?

1930 > Kaya

I'm sorry, Minerva, it's like there's a wall between us and 1998. There's no going back further.

2000 > Kaya

Guys, I'm picking up some strange readings. What just happened?

2010 > VelimirII

Yeah. Turns out that tank was a real can-of-worms.

2020 > Minerva

Velimir, what did you do?

2030 > VelimirII

Oh, so this is my fault too?

MissThreeHellScaldOutro

1940 > Kaya

And done. Like, I gotta say, you kicked the timeline right back into shape!

1950 > Kaya

That's a wrap for lab day. You know, I think I'm getting the hang of this whole Archimedean thing.

MissThreeAssassinationIntro

1960 > Kaya

The bigger the target, the wilder my chronometer goes. We need to find the biggest target in town: a Scaldra Efervon tank.

1970 > VelimirII

You want us to take out one of Vodyanoi's fancy new tanks? Yeah, I think we can oblige.

1980 > Minerva

We got orders. Hard-target. The kid needs us to scrap one of Viktor's new toys.

1990 > VelimirII

An Efervon tank? Oh, I thought she'd never ask.

MissThreeAssassinationOutro

2040 > Kaya

Whoa. Needle on the Chronometer just went flat. Whatever you did, it settled the timeline right down. But… Why?

2050 > VelimirII

Viktor is now short one armored nightmare.

2060 > Kaya

Oh wow. You guys are my heroes. You killed it out there, I have so much data to sift through. Now the real fun begins.

TempArchFail

2070 > Kaya

Hey, guys. What's going on out there? Guys???

2080 > Kaya

I always say, "you learn more from failure than success." Did we learn anything?

2090 > Kaya

Oh man? This is going to way skew my data. And not in a good way.

2100 > Kaya

Really?? Gods, why does Archimedea have to be so hard???

2110 > Kaya

Ugh, this is worse than the time I tried to make a Void Rift for the science fair.
