>Leaves rustle in the Sanctuary City park as a twilit breeze calmly brings in the start of the first light of the day, announcing the beginning of a long process of brightening to indicate the day to come.

>With the sun still below the horizon, the park itself is empty besides those who have little better to do in the early hours of the morning, creating an illusion of a peaceful lake of grass, occasionaly interrupted by a tree swaying.

>Then, like a drop of water disturbing a puddle, the peace of the park is rent asunder as space seems to fold in on itself over the grass, pulling the ground up in the air for a moment and causing several objects to float upwards before they suddenly slam back to the ground, twisted and bent into odd shapes.

>In the centre of the chaos, an odd mass without a mass floats, its form constantly shifting and changing.

>An MRD field captain continues firing energy blasts from his plasma-based bazooka. The attacks scorch the black clothing of a large, muscular figure. As more blasts pile on, an MRD lieutenant rushes up to the captain.

"Captain! We're low on plasma charges! We're going to need backup from HQ! The target's getting closer!"

>Irritated, the MRD captain bares his teeth behind his helmet as he snaps back at his subordinate.

"Under no circumstances are we allowed to let the target near the armory! Radio to HQ if we're that low on munitions!"

>Turning back to face the figure in the distance, the MRD captain mutters under his breath.

"Remember, you're free to visit at any time. Though if you'd rather avoid Phoebe for now - you can make a more 'sensational' appearance if need be."

>Aiden continues hinting at Jack's mystical teleportation abilities - as Jack walks down the steps behind him. While doing so, he then says:

"Thank you, Aiden. I do appreciate that. Still."

>Jack stops speaking as he waits for Aiden to turn around.

"So let me get this straight? You want us to help you make a frontline push towards a demonic army?"

>Phoebe looks at Jack in disbelief, as he remains where he is, standing in the middle of the parking lot - outside of Archeon. A few aches and tinges of pain continuously course through Jack's skin - a reminder of Phoebe's raw strength.

"I'm aware of how it sounds, Phoebe. But I'm dead serious. I can't do this alone, and I didn't know who else to turn to."

>Jack says, looking pleadingly in Phoebe's eyes - as the latter scoffs, narrowing her own.

"You mean there was no one else for you to actually turn to, Jack."

>Looking away, Jack feels his face slowly start to convulse - turning into a mixture of regret and self-directed anger.

"I'll get you out of here, I swear."

A large concentric circle network of small settlements and buildings comprises the large structure. The simulated archipelago regularly sees little activity, as resources and building materials are airlifted into the base - using discreet methods.

"What's wrong, Sammy?"

>As the blue light dies down, both Chimera and Fugue are on the floor - dazed. After a few moments, Chimera reacts first - slowly rising to his feet as he groans in pain. Now placing a hand to his head, he then scowls and mutters to himself.

"What the hell happened……"

>Looking back at Fugue, who's now slowly risen to his feet, he looks at him and asks the obvious question.

"Jakob! Are you OK?!"

>Chimera quickly rushes forward to inspect his brother's armor. The bright red circuit patterns are completely gone, and Fugue looks seemingly fine as he was before.

"Yeah…I feel better. What did you do, Marek?"

"Remember, this is your TTC now. It's keyed to your trans-temporal signature. Ouranos has no control over it anymore. That doesn't mean he's going to be thrilled about it - but he'll have to take it up with all of us now."

>Nodding, Chimera looks down at the controls as he then speaks up.

"It felt like near gibberish before. All these symbols and numbers. I could barely make sense of it with my core intuition ability. But now? It's like reading a book."

>Mechanicus crosses his arms as he observes Chimera's statements.

"As I expected. You're a Thulcandran now - but unlike your cousin, you lack my memories. Meaning you'll be going at a snail's pace compared to him, and he's a Chronarch. You're still just a normal Thulcandran, so I wouldn't use this machine frequently - if ever."

>Sighing, Chimera then mutters to himself once more.

>While similar to the Dusk Dimension, the colors are no longer muted, but are instead now bright and vivid. Heavy color saturation fills the area - as the infinite expanse of the void, has now become an entirely new dimension.

>Boundless in size as before, the dimension now begins to rapidly populate itself with sentient life - more natural and tame, as opposed to the twisted Eldritch abominations that had populated Nyrian's Dusk Dimension before.
