Thaw of Eons

Head to the Gourmet Street

Abby: Rover, did you hear that? My stomach is growling.

Abby: Ugh… I'm sooo hungry...

Abby: How about we go to that place we went to last time with Yangyang and Chixia?

Abby: I love their food so much!

Abby: Mmm... Yummy, yummy!

Abby: Hello? Are you with me? Rover, you seem a bit distracted.

Abby: With so much delicious food right in front of you, aren't you gonna try any? Well if you're not interested, I'll gobble it all up!

Abby: You've been absent-minded the whole day. Still bothered by that dream from last night?

Abby: Hang on, let me get this straight... The Sentinel swooshed you off to a mountain shaped like a dragon...

Abby: And then there were all these bad things going on with lots and lots of Tacet Discords, but the Sentinel saved the day!

Abby: How exactly did it protect everyone again... Oh, in your dream it made the time different there?

Rover: Yeah... The time in the mountains seemed to have slowed down from the outside, away from the Tacet Discords.

Rover: The Sentinel must have created a barrier by manipulating the flow of time, keeping those monsters out.

Rover: It was a safe haven from all the disturbances caused by the Tacet Discords, where people lived peacefully...

Rover: Also... In my dream, I wasn't affected by the slowed time and could freely move in and out of the barrier.

Abby: It's no shock that you have awesome powers, being friends with me.

Abby: Hmm... What was that place you dreamed about called?

Rover: I'm not entirely sure I heard it correctly, but in my dream, the Sentinel mentioned a place called Mt. Firmament.

Abby: Mt. Firmament? Never heard of it...

Jiusi: You never heard of Mt. Firmament? Then I'm sure you're not from around here.

Abby: Hold on! Did you just say Mt. Firmament?!

Qingxiang: Come on, man, relax. You don't hear an Echo talking every day, but it's not that uncommon either!

Qingxiang: Oh, you're not from around here? Well, that explains why you don't know about Mt. Firmament.

Qingxiang: Legends say Mt. Firmament is where the first people of Jinzhou lived. it looks like a giant statue of our Sentinel Jué.

Qingxiang: I've never actually heard of anyone going to that place. They say those who try either get lost in the sea mist or never come back.

Qingxiang: If you're curious, just head southeast. Mt. Firmament is on the east side of Whining Aix's Mire, and you can see it from a distance.

Abby: It's like a strong energy pulsing through the air, but I can't quite put my finger on it. It feels kind of weird though, doesn't smell natural...

Abby: Could it have anything to do with what you said? A place where time passes slowly?

Abby: Hmm... Do you wanna go check it out?

Rover: I had a flashback about seeing their Sentinel... Perhaps that happened on Mt. Firmament...

Rover: I can feel an unknown force guiding me, urging me to go there and find something...

Rover: Jinhsi said she'll go search for the Sentinel and update me on its whereabouts.

Rover: But so far, I have not heard anything from the City Hall yet...

Head to City Hall

Rover: Abby, are you getting sleepy again?

Abby: Let me... take a quick nap, all right? I've got keen ears. If anything goes down, just give me a holler, and I'll be... I'll be up in a jiffy… I swear…

Head to the Meeting Room

Talk to Sanhua

Sanhua: Greetings, Rover.

Sanhua: I regret to inform you that Madam Magistrate is not in the City Hall. She has left for Mt. Firmament.

Sanhua: When we captured Scar, he claimed that the Fractsidus has imprisoned our Sentinel.

Sanhua: It was around the same time that Madam Magistrate lost track of Sentinel Jué.

Sanhua: If our Sentinel is truly in danger… Or if someone with malicious intent obtains this information, the potential consequences could be as catastrophic as the previous Threnodian invasion.

Sanhua: Madam Magistrate traveled to Mt. Firmament alone.

Sanhua: Madam Magistrate trusts you. It is beyond my authorization to meddle in your decisions.

Sanhua: Currently, she's likely at the ferry terminal in Whining Aix's Mire. I'll reach out to her.

Sanhua: I trust Madam Magistrate's decisions. I will do my utmost to handle the public matters on her behalf while she is away.

Sanhua: I just... This worry about her safety won't leave me.

Sanhua: In her last video message, I could tell she seemed weaker than usual, despite her efforts to maintain composure.

Sanhua: Madam Magistrate's situation might not be optimistic...

Sanhua: Rover, Mt. Firmament is a dangerous place. Please take care.

Sanhua: I have sent the coordinates to your Terminal. Thank you for your kind help. I pray you will both return safely.

Abby: I'm here.

Abby: Not that I'm hungry or anything. I just tend to doze off easily. Feels like my body can only process what I consume while sleeping.

Abby: And don't worry, if there's any danger coming your way, I'll wake up like clockwork, just like last time.

Abby: Well, unless there's nothing that can even remotely challenge you.

Abby: In that case, I probably won't... wake... up...

Leave City Hall

Rover: Let's head to the ferry.

Rover: Hmm... Mt. Firmament. Our Wayfinder should have plenty information to share.

Head to the Ferry

??: I happen to be waiting for someone, too.

??: I am Changli, your "Wayfinder."

Changli: Don't worry. The rain won't last much longer. Our destination lies just beyond it.

Changli: There is... a certain folk tale. Have you heard of it?

Changli: While hiking in the mountains, a woodcutter came upon two people playing Weiqi and became enthralled with their game.

Changli: Upon his return home, he found a world transformed. Everything was different, as if in a new reality.

Changli: That mountain was a secret realm where time worked differently. The woodcutter only spent half a day inside, but outside, a century had passed.

Changli: Mt. Firmament is such a place.

Changli: But unlike this folk tale, there is a price to pay for entering and exiting its grounds.

Changli: If I spend a full day in the mountains, ten days will be taken off my lifespan upon my leaving, reflecting the actual time that has passed outside.

Changli: The strange time patterns of Mt. Firmament are tied to the Sentinel's Temporal Mandate. Time ebbs and flows at its will.

Changli: Lifespan is not the top of my concerns. If you've decided to venture there, I'll join you as your Wayfinder.

Changli: She doesn't miss a thing, does she?

Changli: Before Jinhsi left for Mt. Firmament, scales began appearing on her body, and her Resonance Ability was weakening.

Changli: Those signs pointed to a dire situation for the Sentinel as well.

Changli: From what I understand, there is a strong link between you and the Sentinel. More importantly, you've been the primary target of the Fractsidus.

Changli: That Overseer tried everything to sway you and make you join their side before our battle with the reviving Threnodian.

Changli: Records at the Grand Library tell a tale of someone who dared to enter Mt. Firmament after the Sentinel's descent. And they emerged unscathed, as if time had no hold on them.

Changli: They were also said to have "stood alongside the Sentinel."

Changli: Is it you? If not you, who else could it be?

Changli: It took me some effort to finally reach this conclusion.

Changli: As your Wayfinder, I'll lead you to your destination. What you do after that is entirely up to you.

Changli: The rain is subsiding, and the sky will soon clear.

Changli: Rover, it's time for us to head out.

Changli: We're at the base of Mt. Firmament, but we won't enter the Temporal Barrier until we cross the Luminous Shore.

Changli: Shall we proceed? The storm is coming. Some people must be itching to pounce.

Arrive at Mt. Firmament

Ask Changli about the Chronosorter

Changli: The bridge has broken...

Changli: Judging by its design and intricate details, it must be a creation of the Court of Savantae.

Changli: It mimics the Sentinel's Temporal MandateAbility to control time, able to reverse small-scale events and restore objects to their previous state.

Changli: My master once told me about the Court of Savantae and their fearless quest to unravel the mysteries of Mt. Firmament, risking all in their pursuit of understanding the strange flow of time.

Changli: Their dedication bore fruit in the form of fascinating inventions, such as this Chronosorter.

Changli: Why hasn't this brilliant invention spread beyond Mt. Firmament?

Changli: This Chronosorter was built beyond the Temporal Barrier, so its creator must have already paid the price for leaving.

Changli: But even if they died, there are countless other CSC membersCourt of Savantae Committee who could replicate it. How did such advanced technology become lost?

Changli: This Chronosorter, weathered though it may appear, bears no signs of neglect. Someone has tended to it diligently.

Changli: Let's give it a try.

Repair the Bridge with Chronosorter

Go Further into Mt. Firmament

Rover: Weren't they concerned about losing lifespan?

Changli: For those fanatics, nothing mattered more than the truth.

Changli: To live every moment with overwhelming passion... How many can claim such a tenacious drive and unshakable determination?

Changli: Rover, it's the Fractsidus!

Defeat the Fractsidus

Rover: The Fractsidus... It's them again.

Changli: They've set traps all around the Luminous Shore...

Changli: They must have anticipated your arrival.

Go further into Mt. Firmament

Rover: The entrance is sealed.

Changli: It's the Photon Barrier. Another invention from the Court of Savantae.

Changli: Specific steps must be followed to undo the barrier. Rover, I'll guide you.

Changli: Use long-range weapons on the Photonvaults to cut off its energy.

Changli: Once we reach the cave's end, we'll enter the domain of Mt. Firmament. Proceed with caution.

Cross the Temporal Barrier

Rover: So it can't hurt me...

...

Changli: Time on Mt. Firmament used to simply flow slower than in the outside world. Visitors were safe as long as they remained within the Temporal Barrier.

Changli: But what we're seeing now is different. The flow of time has gone haywire. This is what we call the Temporal Disruptions...

Changli: What was once slow and steady has become chaotic and turbulent. Some areas are frozen in time, while others speed up or slow down unpredictably.

Changli: No one knows how much they'll age after leaving Mt. Firmament, but aging from youth to old age may be a blessing compared to the unknown fate that awaits.

Changli: Leaving Mt. Firmament could turn any mortal to dust in just a moment. Such is the power of time within its walls.

Changli: These poor creatures, trapped in the Temporal Disruption, are the most pitiful of all... Their bodies and minds have been ravaged by the chaotic time, leaving them in unimaginable suffering...

Changli: So, it looks like the Fractsidus did manage to capture our Sentinel, leading to the Temporal Disruptions we are facing now.

Changli: I had wished that my theories would turn out wrong...

Changli: ...As expected, my Terminal isn't working. We can't reach Jinhsi.

Changli: We can't waste a moment. Jinhsi's fate isn't the only one at stake—all the inhabitants of Mt. Firmament are in danger.

Changli: We need to hurry to Hongzhen, a town nestled at the heart of Mt. Firmament. Jinhsi would likely pass through there on her search for the Sentinel.

Go further into Mt. Firmament

Rover: The Temporal Disruptions have spared nothing on our way here...

Rover: Changli, does that mean you're in danger too?

Changli: So far, nothing feels out of the ordinary. It seems the Sentinel contained the situation before being fully trapped.

Changli: But I don't know how long this stability will hold.

Changli: Rover, if I go down... please don't worry about me.

Changli: You need only focus on what you have to do.

Changli: You dreamed of Hongzhen?

You tell Changli about the flashing images you saw in your dream.

Changli: What you just described closely aligns with the accounts documented in our Grand Library.

Changli: Over a century ago, a vast horde of Tacet Discords invaded Huanglong. Hongzhen suffered greatly during that onslaught.

Changli: Thankfully, the Sentinel descended, manipulating time to erect a protective barrier, keeping those monsters at bay.

Changli: Rover, perhaps... That dream is more than just a dream.

Changli: It could be a glimpse into your own past, and... a guiding light for the future.

Changli: But every trap has its weak points.

Changli: Someone has used their Resonance Ability here, but it feels different from the Fractsidus' aggression... It's Jinhsi.

Changli: And it seems like she used it in a dire situation. Could it be related to the people of Hongzhen?

Changli: The traces lead deeper into the heart of Hongzhen.

Changli: Let's keep moving, Rover. Don't let your guard down.

Follow the Resonance Traces

Search for Clues about Jinhsi

Rover: Someone fought here against those Fractsidus...

Changli: Must be Jinhsi. Her trails led to this location.

Changli: Using her Resonance Ability too much would only worsen her condition...

Changli: But she must have had a reason. Was she helping the people of Hongzhen find refuge?

Rover: Changli, there are traces here.

Changli: They're pointing north. Let's proceed in that direction.

Follow the Resonance Traces

Rover: The traces disappear by the pond.

Changli: Rover, we need to keep an eye out for anything unusual.

Inspect the Pond

Changli: This vase on the stone table seems rather peculiar.

Inspect the Vase

Investigate the Sound behind the Waterfall

Rover: There's something behind the waterfall.

Changli: Let's go take a look.

Rover: Another Photon Barrier.

Changli: Three Photonvaults to break. Rover, use ranged attacks.

Enter the Chamber

Follow Xinyi

Talk to the Residents

Talk to Xinyi

Xinyi: I believe you are here for Magistrate Jinhsi?

Changli: Lady Xinyi, please elaborate.

Xinyi: Madam Magistrate, are you...

Jinhsi: I'm… fine…

Jinhsi: How's the situation? Have we evacuated all the civilians?

Xinyi: Yes. Remaining civilians have been counted and escorted to safety.

Jinhsi: Good. These hidden chambers should provide some much-needed shelter for them to rest a little...

Jinhsi: Despite being the Sentinel's Appointed Resonator, I haven’t been able to sense its presence for some time now…

Jinhsi: I can feel my Resonance Ability waning, and I get my power from the Sentinel. This can only mean one thing: the Sentinel's condition is getting worse.

Jinhsi: Lady Xinyi, I need to know where the Sentinel was last seen.

Jinhsi: I can only fix the Temporal Disruption within a confined radius. It's already pushing my limits to keep this small pocket of space secure.

Jinhsi: Mt. Firmament is in serious trouble, and we can't waste any more time. We need our Sentinel to stabilize the time flow.

Xinyi: The Sentinel was last seen flying towards Mianloong Chamber, where it would normally rest. The Fractsidus likely swarmed it soon after.

Xinyi: But little did they know, we had a defense system in place, built with the help of the Court of Savantae. It was reactivated as soon as our Sentinel made it back inside.

Xinyi: This mechanism has allowed us to locate their troops, and we've already eliminated some of them outside the Mianloong Chamber.

Xinyi: To get inside Mianloong Chamber, we have to find the Cipher Key in Truthseeker's Pass and unseal it with the Keyforge.

Jinhsi: Understood. I will go bring back the Cipher Key.

Xinyi: You are injured. Please rest and leave it to me.

Jinhsi: The Fractsidus will most likely attack this place once I leave. You must stay here and guard it.

Jinhsi: I implore you, Xinyi. Help me keep our people safe.

Xinyi: ...Yes, I will, Madam Magistrate.

Jinhsi: Before I headed to Mt. Firmament, the Fractsidus revealed a prophecy from our Sentinel: a fateful clash between the Sentinel and myself that would shape the fate of our city.

Jinhsi: I never intended to believe their baseless claims, but I was not surprised to hear it.

Jinhsi: The Sentinel had told me long ago that there would come a day when I surpass it in power. A day when the humans of Jinzhou take control of their own destiny.

Jinhsi: Once we save the Sentinel from danger, I intend to have a serious conversation with it about this prophecy.

Xinyi: ...And then she left.

Changli: There's still one thing that doesn't add up—How did the Fractsidus kidnap our Sentinel?

Changli: The Mianloong Chamber was once renovated by the Court of Savantae. Do you think their research could be involved somehow?

Xinyi: I'll look into what you said, but once we have the Cipher Key, the Mianloong Chamber will be left vulnerable to the Fractsidus' potential retaliation.

Changli: We must keep them at bay...

Changli: Rover and I are headed to the Truthseeker's Pass to meet up with Jinhsi. We'll distract the Fractsidus main forces, giving you an opportunity to stage your ambush.

Xinyi: And the locals will handle the rest.

Xinyi: I will send some men to open up the side exit for you. Head south and keep walking a couple of minutes, and you will see the Truthseeker's Pass downstream.

Changli: Thank you, Lady Xinyi. Please leave it to us.

Xinyi: In this place she was born, and in this place she returns. Our Magistrate's fate is bound to Mt. Firmament...

Xinyi: This crisis hit Hongzhen hard.

Xinyi: People were going about their day as usual, but then chaos erupted without warning. They didn't even have the time to escape.

Xinyi: Our town is made up of ordinary individuals, and we had no way to defend ourselves against the Temporal Disruptions.

Xinyi: We understand our Sentinel is not to blame for what has transpired.

Xinyi: Jinzhou stands thanks to the Sentinel's never-faltering protection. It saved our ancestors from the Tacet Discords. Without the Sentinel, this land would be uninhabitable.

Xinyi: The current situation could be much worse without the Sentinel's aid. We are grateful for its help and can't expect anything more from it.

Xinyi: ...As our Sentinel once protected the people of Mt. Firmament from Tacet Discords, it seems we'll need to rely on Magistrate Jinhsi this time.

Xinyi: Many outsiders are unaware, but in ancient times, a colossal vehicle descended upon Mt. Firmament alongside our Sentinel. This became the Mianloong Chamber as we know it today.

Xinyi: People in Hongzhen believe our Sentinel came from a faraway star and the chamber serves as its hibernation pod.

Xinyi: But with our limited technology, we still struggle to comprehend its workings.

Xinyi: Speaking of which... Our Sentinel's health is worsening. Lately, it has been spending longer periods of time in the Mianloong Chamber, essentially going back to "sleep" more frequently.

Xinyi: We've tried asking about it, but no response.

Xinyi: The defense mechanisms outside Mianloong Chamber were built by the Court of Savantae.

Xinyi: Back in the day, researchers from the Court of Savantae would often come to Mt. Firmament to study the strange time fluctuations. This caused tension with the locals.

Xinyi: Local people believed it was disrespectful to the Sentinel, especially when they tried to enter Mianloong Chamber.

Xinyi: After some deliberation, local people understood that the Court of Savantae posed no threat to the Sentinel.

Xinyi: A deal was struck: the locals would refrain from disrupting their research, and in return, they would build defense mechanisms to keep outsiders from interrupting the Sentinel's rest.

Xinyi: The Sentinel was believed to have agreed to this compromise by remaining silent during negotiations.

Xinyi: Activating the Cipher Key is a complex process, and we've stored the Mianloong Chamber's controller separately.

Xinyi: It's an extra safeguard. By splitting the key and its control panel, it'll be harder for malicious individuals to access them.

Xinyi: Long ago, the Sentinel protected people of Hongzhen from Tacet Discords, and it also revealed a harsh truth—

Xinyi: Leaving Mt. Firmament shortened one's lifespan exponentially. The longer someone has lived inside the Temporal Barrier, the less likely they can make it out alive.

Xinyi: Later, a group of brave young people who could afford the aging left Mt. Firmament, and they eventually built Jinzhou city.

Xinyi: Others stayed and worshiped the Sentinel as their god, vowing to protect it for generations and carving its likeness into the mountain.

Xinyi: I pray for your safe return. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have other responsibilities to attend to.

Head to the Truthseeker's Pass

Rover: Did Xinyi and Jinhsi know each other?

Changli: Jinhsi was chosen as a baby for her Resonance Ability, and raised in City Hall to become the Sentinel's Appointed Resonator.

Changli: All the government workers there helped care for and teach her at some point, including Lady Xinyi.

Changli: She grew up with immense responsibilities, forced to suppress her true nature from a young age. Thinking back, Jinhsi was only a teenage girl when she became the Magistrate...

Changli: She has been burdened with unimaginable weight that most cannot fathom.

Rover: I assume this is the Truthseeker's Pass Xinyi mentioned.

Changli: Yes.

Changli: This should be another Chronosorter. It should work in similar ways with the one we saw near the Luminous Shore.

Changli: The entrance is built on that cliff, and it's been blocked...

Changli: We will need to break the three Photonvaults with ranged attacks first.

Changli: Nothing. I was wondering, how did the Court of Savantae create such an advanced mechanism using the Sentinel's power? Mortals aren't supposed to be able to comprehend it.

Changli: I've never heard of any human civilization having the ability to manipulate time.

Changli: Unless the Sentinel willingly taught them... But why?

Changli: We need to focus on items related to the Court of Savantae in Truthseeker's Pass. Maybe we can find some clues there.

Disable the Photon Barrier on the gate and enter Truthseeker's Pass

Control the Tacetite Fulminate

Throw the Tacetite Fulminate at the cracks in the Ledge Wheels to create a path

Turn off the Photonvault

Operate the Chronosorter

Disable the Photon Barrier on the gate to Truthseeker's Pass

Enter Truthseeker's Pass

Go deep into Truthseeker's Pass

Rover: Why are there Tacet Discord here? No, these monsters... They don't look like the usual Tacet Discords.

Changli: These, too, look like the works of the Court of Savantae.

Changli: Did they create these simulated holograms to protect this place?

Defeat the TD holograms

Rover: That thing up ahead... Is it another mechanism?

Changli: It seems to have unlocked after we got rid of those holograms. Let's go and have a look.

Approach and activate the Flare Stone, then put out the Flare Crest (Part One)

Changli: Yes. The Flare Crests have a complex structure, but they can be deciphered with patience.

Changli: See how each star represents a Flare Stone?

Changli: Yes, we still need the other two Flare Stones to open it.

Changli: ...Wait.

Changli: She is likely teetering on the edge of Overclocking now.

Changli: We are running out of time.

Leave the upper tier of Truthseeker's Pass for the middle tier

Inspect the CSC tome

Changli: The Sentinel's situation is worse than we thought. It had already sustained severe injuries when it descended upon Mt. Firmament...

Changli: "With one of the Temporal Programs lost"... It no longer had the power to restore time, instead it could only stop and rewind it.

Rover: So the Sentinel protected Hongzhen with its power, but it couldn’t return things back to normal?

Changli: It would seem so...

Changli: According to their theories, the Sentinel's injury would worsen over time. And if the Sentinel perishes... the Temporal Disruptions will spiral out of control, engulfing all of Jinzhou.

...

Changli: There is nothing we can do. At least that's what it says in these records.

Changli: Only the Mianloong Chamber can provide temporary relief for the Sentinel, but it won't heal it completely.

Changli: The Sentinel couldn't be fixed, so they decided to replicate its power onto a Resonator through induced Resonance...

Changli: We are getting closer and closer to the truth.

Changli: Two more Flare Stones left. Everything aside, first we must find Jinhsi.

Leave the upper tier of Truthseeker's Pass for the middle tier

Changli: Another Chronosorter... The second Flare Stone should be behind this gate.

Changli: Rover, let's restore the collapsed gate with this Chronosorter.

Operate the Chronosorter and find a way to leave the chamber

Enter the Carrier Room

Approach and activate the Flare Stone, then put out the Flare Crest (Part Two)

Changli: One last Flare Stone to go. There's a Carrier Lift nearby... Is the Flare Stone on the floor beneath us?

Changli: We should be able to find Jinhsi soon...

Take the Carrier Lift to the lower tier

Inspect the CSC tome

Changli: So, this file confirms that the Chronosorters are artificial Resonance Objects.

Changli: They activate when hit with a strong impact to create the corresponding Resonance Effects.

Changli: No, it was nowhere near enough. The Chronosorters shut down once they are removed from the Sentinel's range or the abnormal time flow on Mt. Firmament.

Changli: Plus, as artificial Resonance Objects, their capacity is limited.

Changli: According to the Court of Savantae researchers, there was a hypothesis that could potentially make them more powerful—the Second Resonance Awakening hypothesis.

Changli: One Chronosorter briefly showed the power to restore time before breaking apart.

Changli: This proved that a Second Awakening can indeed improve Resonance Ability.

Changli: The research log mentioned that all Chronosorters were working in an overdrive mode.

Changli: No, it's not. Exhausting oneself will only result in destruction...

Changli: In addition, I noticed another detail in these records.

Changli: The Chronosorters required manual control, while the Sentinel Jué appeared to be under someone else's command.

Changli: In that only incident of success, just as the 'Chronosorter' was about to break down, that "peculiar visitor" gave an order to the Sentinel.

Changli: Rover, do you have an idea?

Go deeper into Truthseeker's Pass

Changli: Jinhsi...

Jinhsi: You...

Changli: Don't worry. Rover is special. The Temporal Dusruption can't hurt him.

Jinhsi: I... *cough*... but Changli, your...

Shh...

Changli: I gave my word to be your pawn and I intend to keep it. As your teacher and courtier, it is only right for me to do so.

Changli: And let's not forget, without me playing the Wayfinder for Rover, we wouldn't even have him here.

Changli: Rover has a strong connection to this place. You need his help to resolve Mt. Firmament's crisis.

Jinhsi: Thank you, Rover... Thank you.

Jinhsi: Rover, I will do everything I can to rescue the Sentinel as soon as possible, then we can finally talk to it in person. It will surely have the answers you want.

Changli: Let's cut to the chase.

Changli: What did you find in Truthseeker's Pass, Jinhsi?

Jinhsi: According to the Court of Savantae's records... the Sentinel was already injured upon its arrival at Mt. Firmament.

Jinhsi: As time passed and its condition worsened, the flow of time became unstable here, causing Temporal Disruptions that could potentially threaten Jinzhou.

Jinhsi: Only the Sentinel's Appointed Resonator can restore its Temporal Mandateability to control time...

Jinhsi: Their records indicate a solution.

Jinhsi: To reverse the rapid aging effect from Temporal Disruptions, I must deliberately collide with the Sentinel's Resonance power during combat—triggering my Second Resonance Awakening. That will enhance my power beyond its limits.

Changli: Let's say you can achieve all that, but Jinhsi... Do you understand what is at stake for yourself?

Jinhsi: I understand.

Jinhsi: ...I share a Resonance connection with Jué, but I never took the time to truly get to know it... I've been blind to its suffering for so long...

Jinhsi: Sentinel Jué has been guiding us since the city's founding with its wise words and well-crafted decisions.

Jinhsi: The Temporal Disruptions we face are just a side effect of its efforts to protect local people.

Jinhsi: ...Without the Sentinel blocking out Tacet Discords through its time-manipulation power, Jinzhou would be a barren wasteland today.

Changli: So what do you plan to do, Jinhsi?

Changli: If the Sentinel's condition is indeed incurable... Nobody knows how far the Temporal Disruptions will continue to spread.

Changli: Today it's Mt. Firmament, but tomorrow it could be all of Jinzhou.

Jinhsi: I... I will...

Jinhsi: If it truly comes down to that, I'll fulfill Jué's prophecy myself.

Jinhsi: It's the only way to save Mt Firmament, protect Jinzhou, and help the Sentinel.

Changli: Have you thought about the consequences, Jinhsi?

Changli: Trying to trigger a Second Awakening by fighting the Sentinel... It could make you Overclock at any moment.

Changli: We both know what that means. You could lose your mind forever, or even disintegrate into dust... You don't want to end up like those Chronosorters, shredded under immense pressure.

Changli: On top of that... Do you honestly believe you can fight in your current condition?

Changli: I can see right through your façade, Jinhsi. You're essentially committing suicide at this point.

Jinhsi: You're one to talk, my teacher.

Jinhsi: I learned from the best. When have you ever backed down from risking your life for what you believe in?

Changli: Oh? I don't remember ever teaching you that.

Changli: We all die eventually, but we need to stay alive as long as we can to achieve more.

Changli: Jinhsi, you must live and inherit the Sentinel's power. Then you can save and protect these people for years to come.

Jinhsi: Changli... I...

Changli: ... Jinhsi, I don't intend to stop you. I know you've made up your mind.

Changli: That's why I brought Rover here.

Changli: You may have already guessed it. Rover is indeed the hero who fought by our Sentinel's side during Jinzhou's early days. He is also the mysterious visitor spoken of in tales about Mt. Firmament.

Changli: All evidence we've gathered points to this being true.

Jinhsi: Thank you, my teacher... Jinhsi will keep your words in mind.

Changli: Yes, it could be any of these scenarios. Lady Xinyi is already on the case. We should get an answer soon.

Changli: The Cipher Key should be inside the stone chamber, behind its entrance gate. There is one more Flare Stone to work out. Let's get moving.

Changli: Look, our last target. On those floating floor tiles. We need a way to restore them.

Turn off Photonvault and operate Chronosorter

Approach and activate the Flare Stone, then put out the Flare Crest (Part Three)

Defeat Lumiscale Construct: Severedge

Rover: I'm done with all three Flare Stones.

Changli: Good. Let's head back to the entrance. We should be able to access the Cipher Key now.

Head to the Carrier Lift

Take the Carrier Lift to the upper tier

Enter the secret tunnel

Head to the Central Chamber

Jinhsi: The Cipher Key...

Retrieve the Cipher Key

Changli: Rover, take good care of the Cipher Key.

Changli: Please don't forget: I am your Wayfinder. I journeyed with you into the mountains to ensure you meet up with Jinhsi.

Changli: From this point onward, I will be counting on you both to go and confront the Sentinel.

Changli: This is all I can do for you.

Changli: I'm here to guide, not intervene. The path is yours to choose.

Changli: Not to mention... the Fractsidus has been pestering us non-stop.

Changli: Yes, they've been constantly watching you, interested in your every move. They can never seem to take their eyes off of you.

Changli: By all means, please carry on without me. As for myself...

Changli: I have a more fitting location to make my contributions from.

Changli: Oh, "speak of the devils"...

Changli: How rude. This is not how we greet people here.

Changli: Allow me to demonstrate the proper etiquette.

Rover: Changli...

Jinhsi: Those Artificers are nothing to worry about. Rover, don't worry. Changli has her plans.

Jinhsi: I don't believe we will run into more ambushes on the way.

Return to Hongzhen

Bing'ge: It's Madam Magistrate! She's back!

Bing'ge: I must go tell Lady Xinyi!

Enter the Secret Chamber

Xinyi places the Cipher Key onto the Keyforge.

Xinyi: The Mianloong Chamber is open now. You can proceed inside.

Xinyi: They used the Chronosorters.

Xinyi: Our captured Artificer revealed that the Fractsidus sent a death squad to invade Mt. Firmament. They had a two-fold plan…

Xinyi: First, to place the Chronosorter in the Mianloong Chamber while it was still operational; and second, to lure the Sentinel back to Mt. Firmament.

Xinyi: What if the Fractsidus modified those Chronosorters?

Xinyi: A whole bunch of them, pushed to their limits, all working together to deliver one massive blow.

Xinyi: But not even that was enough to take down the Sentinel.

Xinyi: After the first hit, they set up modified Flare Crests in the Mianloong Chamber to form a special force field along with those Chronosorters.

Xinyi: It prevented the Sentinel from replenishing energy and eventually restricted its movement and perception.

Jinhsi: So... We must free the Sentinel from that force field first.

Xinyi: ...It would be a task more complicated than it sounds.

Xinyi: The people of Hongzhen have lived with the Sentinel for generations. We can usually tell if it's in good shape or not.

Xinyi: But now, the Fractsidus want to capture the Sentinel... They won't just stop at Mt. Firmament. Madam Magistrate, I'm sure you didn't come here just for the Sentinel...

Xinyi: Please tell us what you know, Madam Magistrate.

Jinhsi: Yes, I will tell you everything.

Jinhsi updates Xinyi on her findings at Truthseeker's Pass and shares her theory about the situation. She then outlines her current plans.

Xinyi: So the Sentinel is actually injured, and it's been getting worse... The Fractsidus attacked while it hasn't healed yet. Their plans are devious as always.

Xinyi: Madam Magistrate, you've already laid out this plan so far.

Xinyi: It's always a challenge to decipher the Sentinel's intentions, but there were many theories about it in City Hall at the time. I couldn't fathom why it went through such great lengths to retrieve you from Mt. Firmament and raise you within our walls.

Xinyi: But now that I reflect on it, perhaps the Sentinel saw in you the potential to one day restore the Temporal Program and ensure the survival of Jinzhou's inhabitants.

Xinyi: I just never thought.. You'd be willing to follow through with that prophecy…

Jinhsi: It was here on this very mountain that I first encountered the Sentinel.

Jinhsi: Back then, I was too young to remember anything. Even the image of Mt. Firmament has slipped from my mind.

Jinhsi: But this time... As soon as I stood at the base of Mt. Firmament, I felt a wave of recognition wash over me. Memories long buried resurfaced with sudden clarity.

Jinhsi: Lady Xinyi... I was born with my life, my everything connected to our Sentinel.

Jinhsi: But my duty as its Appointed Resonator is not the only reason for my decision.

Jinhsi: ...I'm following the heart of my younger self before I became Jinhsi: The girl who used to laugh with pure joy as she felt the snow from Mt. Firmament on her face.

Jinhsi: I am a seed, born on Mt. Firmament, carried by the wind to every corner of Jinzhou. But now, I have returned to my place of origin.

Jinhsi: It's time for me to take root and grow into something greater...

Xinyi: Sigh... No matter what happens or what choices you make, please remember: the people of Hongzhen will always have your back.

Xinyi: Mt. Firmament has been stagnant for eternity. Perhaps a sudden crack of lightning is what we need to break through the fog of uncertainty that has lingered over us for far too long.

Leave the Chamber

Xinyi: Once you pass through Hongzhen, keep your eyes open for a cave on the northern cliff. That will lead you to a shortcut towards Mianloong Chamber.

Xinyi: The place is directly under Mt. Firmament's iconic Loong-shaped cliff. I wish you two the best of luck.

Head to Mianloong Chamber

Rover: Jinhsi, so far, everything we know about the Sentinel is still just speculation.

Jinhsi: You are right. But my weakening Resonance Ability and my connection to the Sentinel leave me no choice but to explore these theories...

Jinhsi: Whether it's fact or fiction, truth or a lie...

Jinhsi: I have to confront the Sentinel and see for myself.

Jinhsi: The Mianloong Chamber should be deep in the cave.

Jinhsi: Let's go.

Continue onward

...

Jinhsi: ...This must be the Mianloong Chamber.

Jinhsi: Chronosorters nearby may have frozen this body of water in time, or it could've been caused by the Temporal Disruptions here.

Jinhsi: Either way, we can use it to our advantage... We can walk over the water now.

Jinhsi: ...We are too far away to see what's going on inside.

Jinhsi: Rover, let's go. I still need more information to determine what we should do next.

Inspect the Hibernation Pod

Jinhsi: I can feel the Sentinel's presence inside, but it's not responding...

Jinhsi: The Flare Crest...

Jinhsi: The Sentinel is telling us... We need to find the three Flare Stones corresponding to the Flare Crest, then we will be able to lift the confinement set by the Fractsidus.

Rover: But I'm not seeing any Flare Stones. Or any kind of entrance to another chamber.

Jinhsi: There seems to be something underwater. Let's start with the Chronosorter here.

Operate the Chronosorter to adjust the water level

Rover: The water level has dropped.

Rover: It's the Flare Stone. On that rock!

Jinhsi: Let's go retrieve it.

Approach and activate the Flare Stone to put out the Flare Crest (Part One)

Approach and activate the Flare Stone to put out the Flare Crest (Part Two)

Operate the Chronosorter

Levitate the Tacetite Fulminate

Use the Tacetite Fulminate to destroy the Fissured Ledge

Approach and activate the Flare Stone to put out the Flare Crest (Part Two)

Use the Tacetite Fulminate to destroy the Fissured Ledge

Approach and activate the Flare Stone to put out the Flare Crest (Part Three)

Return to Mianloong Chamber and inspect the hibernation pod

Check the file

Jinhsi: Yes... It's me.

Jinhsi: I've lived in Jinzhou my whole life and never ventured into Hongzhen, yet even I know of the legend.

Jinhsi: To me, Jué is more than just our Sentinel or a revered divine being... It raised me and saved me from certain death.

Jinhsi: I've been thinking about it on our way here.

Jinhsi: If the Sentinel predicted our fight, why would it even bother saving me in the first place?

Jinhsi: Now I understand why. Because I am the Sentinel's Resonator. I may not have any extraordinary abilities, but I do possess the Temporal Program that it accidentally lost.

Jinhsi: If Jinzhou ever faces a similar time crisis, I... I might be the only one who can set things right.

Jinhsi: ...In our Sentinel's prediction, the battle between us is supposed to happen in the distant future.

Jinhsi: It had been waiting for an opportunity, a right moment to tell me the truth. That's why it didn't explain.

Jinhsi: Now may not be the opportunity the Sentinel has been waiting for, but my body cannot hold up much longer...

Jinhsi: Give up... my duty? I never thought about it...

Jinhsi: To be honest... I did doubt myself many times.

Jinhsi: It was the endless kindness of you, Changli, Xinyi, and everyone in Jinzhou that gave me the courage to push on.

Jinhsi: Even Jué's decision to bring me back to life... Whether out of pity or not, I am truly grateful. The thought of it warms my heart every time.

Jinhsi: I'm okay...

Jinhsi: The pain I'm feeling is nothing compared to those trapped in the Temporal Disruptions.

Jinhsi: If there is truly no other option in the end...

Jinhsi: Then I will have to fight it. I refuse to back down.

Jinhsi: I will fight. To protect the Sentinel, and to defend Jinzhou. One life may be lost, but many will be saved.

Jinhsi: If it means keeping everyone safe, then I have no regrets giving my own life.

Jinhsi: But let me make one thing clear—I am not planning on dying yet. I am here to fight for a chance at survival, no matter how slim that chance may be.

Jinhsi: Thank you for placing your trust in me.

Jinhsi: Come to think of it, many good things have happened to me since you arrived in Jinzhou.

Jinhsi: My teacher Changli told me it's up to both of us to solve the crisis at Mt. Firmament. As I know you have a special connection with our Sentinel, I need your support in this decision.

Jinhsi: But don't worry, I'm prepared. This isn't about succumbing to destiny, it's about embracing it fully.

Jinhsi: I am grateful to have you by my side through it all.

"Jué": Jinhsi, it has been quite some time.

"Jué": And greetings, Lord Arbiter. Or should one address you as "Rover" now?

"Jué": One cannot discern the cause of your arrival, yet its significance heralds Jinzhou's fateful juncture.

"Jué": Shall a "child" who has lost their memories take up arms and fight for their fate? Or shall they retreat to their cradle and slumber?

"Jué": Once the situation settles, an explanation shall be provided. For now, one must implore you to simply engage, decide, and observe.

"Jué": Jinhsi, your journey has been an arduous one. Aside from aiding one in this predicament, surely there are other inquiries you wish to make?

Jinhsi: I cannot bring myself to ask for more. All I seek is the truth.

Jinhsi: Mt. Firmament is in grave danger... Regarding the Temporal Mandate and your injuries... Please, do not keep the truth from me any longer.

"Jué": One understands your concerns. The timing may not be optimal for this disclosure, yet in the midst of crisis, one must act with expedience.

"Jué": For one will soon perish.

...

"Jué": One such as this, of immortal nature, is designed to endure for all time.

"Jué": Yet one suffered severe harm in ancient times, and now relies on the Mianloong Chamber for survival.

"Jué": This is not the optimal solution.

"Jué": For a long time, one has had to use this chamber to replenish energy, hoping to delay the inevitable doom.

"Jué": Jinzhou... The city of Jinzhou will be no more.

...

"Jué": Ever since one descended upon Mt. Firmament, using the power of Temporal Mandate to repel Tacet Discords, time has been in disarray within this location. The fate of Jinzhou was sealed from that moment on.

"Jué": Over the past millenia, one has defied the laws of nature and sustained Jinzhou at the cost of one's own life force.

"Jué": Otherwise, the Temporal Disruption would wreak havoc not only on Mt. Firmament, but on the entire region of Jinzhou. If this were to happen, all life will be engulfed in a chaotic storm of twisted time flow.

"Jué": Jinzhou shall forever remain frozen in time. The past and the future meld into one, rendering life indistinguishable from death. The ceremonial rituals and endless battles persist, intertwining joy and sorrow into an eternal blur.

"Jué": All inhabitants of Jinzhou shall endure this perpetual fate until time itself ceases to exist.

"Jué": ...It is this one's own doing, and one must put an end to it.

"Jué": In the coming days, one will exert every ounce of strength to freeze the time in Jinzhou at the cost of one's remaining life.

"Jué": In that moment, Jinzhou will fall into stillness, but not perish. In the distant future, the people of Huanglong may discover a method to rescue Jinzhou.

Jinhsi: Is there truly nothing else we can do?

"Jué": This is not the optimal solution, but it suffices as an option.

Jinhsi: Please forgive me... but I cannot do as you say.

Jinhsi: A decade, a century... What if nobody comes up with a solution? By that time, the world will have turned its back on this forgotten city...

Jinhsi: ...And who would be willing to spend precious resources rescuing a small city in a far-off corner of the world?

Jinhsi: Jinzhou's fate deserves better than an uncertain future.

"Jué": Whilst one may not live to witness the future, one can still envision endless possibilities yet to come. In my deduction, this method proves to be the most effective and stable.

"Jué": Magistrate Jinhsi, as you express doubts, pray tell how do you propose to solve this issue?

"Jué": The flow of time upon Mt. Firmament is in disarray, and it can only be contained through one's utmost effort.

"Jué": If one does not freeze the time now, the situation in Jinzhou shall surely worsen a hundredfold, or even a thousandfold, after one's passing.

Jinhsi: ..You once predicted a destined battle between us... Is it true?

"Jué": Correct.

Jinhsi: ...I was lost at first, struggling to grasp the prophecy's meaning. Only when I learned of your actions alongside the Court of Savantae did it all become clear—

Jinhsi: By clashing two resonating powers, a Second Resonance Awakening can be induced. Through this, I am able to push my Resonance Ability beyond its limits and invoke the Temporal Mandate to restore the flow of time.

Jinhsi: ...Though I will be forced to raise my blade against you...

"Jué": RIDICULOUS!

"Jué": If you clash with my Resonance power, even the smallest mistake will result in Overclocking and leave you nothing but an empty husk.

"Jué": You are well aware of its excruciating effects. The pain you feel now is but a faint scratch in comparison to its true torment.

"Jué": Moreover, you will be trapped within the fissures of time itself. Your being will be relentlessly shredded and mended, day after day, denied any respite for eternity.

Jinhsi: But I can restore the errors in the flow of time. Isn't that why you saved me all those years ago? I'm just doing what you've been doing all along... Going against fate to keep Jinzhou safe.

"Jué": Jinhsi, you are given one last opportunity. Let me freeze the time, and I can ensure your safety.

"Jué": You are only here to witness before the right time arrives.

"Jué": But you are not compelled to remain idle. Should you intervene, we may augment Jinhsi's odds of survival by a fraction.

"Jué": Command me to transfer my Temporal Mandate access to Jinhsi at the right moment.

"Jué": —The moment of her Resonance Ability's depletion, when she is teetering on the brink of Overclocking and near death. Then, we may still save her life.

Jinhsi: ...I should have died a long time ago... but I was lucky enough to be saved by you, allowing me the chance to see the glittering lights of Jinzhou for myself.

Jinhsi: ...You rewinded time to save me. I am responsible.

Jinhsi: Jinzhou is my home. If it's ever in danger, I will do everything in my power to protect what I hold dear, even at the cost of my own life.

"Jué": Such a valiant speech!

"Jué": Do you know the weight of this decision?

Jinhsi: I understand your concerns. I will reach my Second Awakening with our destined confrontation, and restore the time flow.

Jinhsi: Are you willing to bet on me?

"Jué": Restore the time flow? Pray, from where does this confidence arise?

"Jué": You are my Resonator, but your strength is only a fraction of mine.

"Jué": There is little chance for you to retreat unscathed.

Jinhsi: But I can at least win some hope for our people!

Jinhsi: Even if it costs me my soul, my everything... I cannot die without trying.

Jinhsi: I may only bear your power for a fleeting moment... It's all I need to secure a better future for Jinzhou, defying all of your predictions. And I can keep you safe.

Jinhsi: If there is anyone who can face you in a fight...That person has to be your Resonator.

Jinhsi: I will be your final winning move in this game.

"Jué": HAHAHAHAHA!

"Jué": Are you truly ready to challenge a being worshipped by your kind? Will you not regret it when you meet your bitter demise?

Jinhsi: I will not regret it, no matter what.

"Jué": Very well! Magistrate of Jinzhou!

"Jué": Come to the summit. Demonstrate your prowess!

"Jué": Show me how you shall be my triumphant ace.

Leave Mianloong Chamber

"Jué": Lord Arbiter, one is curious about your choice this time.

"Jué": Wherever the tides may take us, you will bear witness to our fight.

Xinyi: Government must be guided by virtue. Hsi, do you keep this in mind?

Jinhsi: Yes, virtue must come first. Politics, commerce—it all must serve the people.

"Jué": From now on, you shall be known as "Jinhsi," bearing Jinzhou's name as your own.

"Jué": What do you think of this world?

Jinhsi: Like... here. Darkness clings, but lights flicker in the gloom...

"Jué": A guiding light is not easily lit.

Jinhsi: That's why they stand out so brightly against the darkness.

"Jué": This entrance leads to one's Sonoro Sphere. Magistrate Jinhsi, one shall await you there.

"Jué": Rover, this battle is related to the fate of Jinzhou, and only you can open this Sonoro Sphere. The key to Jinzhou's future lies in your hands.

Rover: ...If I open it, Jinhsi is bound to face you in the ultimate battle.

Rover: The ideal outcome would be for her to absorb your power at the critical moment and restore the time flow without any loss of life.

Rover: But there's also a chance that she could push herself too far and end up dying from Overclocking.

Rover: Though... if I do nothing, you'll use your remaining power to freeze all of Jinzhou in time.

"Jué": Correct.

"Jué": Now, please let us know your choice.

Jinhsi: I have been preparing for this moment.

Jinhsi: Leaving Jinzhou behind fills me with regret, knowing I may never again bask in its glorious sunshine or witness the purity of its snowflakes.

Jinhsi: But that's why I'm here—to ensure that others can still experience the wonders of nature.

Jinhsi: Our city has a rich history, with generations witnessing endless sunrises and sunsets at the border. Our people have sacrificed their blood and tears to protect Huanglong's safety.

Jinhsi: They deserve a bright future.

Jinhsi: I want to protect Jinzhou in my own way, as Jinhsi, as a citizen of Jinzhou, and as Jinzhou's Magistrate.

Jinhsi: Rover, let's begin.

Complete the Destined Battle

Confront the Sentinel "Jué"

"Jué": Quite the impressive feat, Magistrate Jinhsi.

"Jué": However, you are still a long way from inheriting my power.

"Jué": Back down now while you still can.

Jinhsi: I have made up my mind, and I will not back down.

Jinhsi: You once said it's not easy to become a candle of light...

Jinhsi: But I still want to try. I want to see if I can ignite a spark of hope for Jinzhou!

Leave the Temporal Loop

"Jué": Jinhsi has recovered. One will soon send her back to Jinzhou for recuperation. Please do not worry.

"Jué": With all matters resolved, as per the agreement, it is time for one to address you.

"Jué": I am Jué the Sentinel, the guide of Jinzhou's civilization. Everything about Jinzhou has been stored in my mind.

"Jué": You, Rover, are my Arbiter, and my former master.

"Jué": This one begs your pardon, for it is not all-knowing. All my knowledge came from you.

"Jué": In the past, one was granted the key to that Sonoro Sphere by your hand.

"Jué": You said you planned to participate in history, to make choices and witness the development of civilizations.

"Jué": One had previously requested for permission to transfer the Temporal Mandate to Jinhsi, as that is how one is designed to function.

"Jué": Every ounce of my existence, from life to death and even the passing on of power, is subject to your approval.

"Jué": Since Jinhsi has inherited my power, the Temporal Programs are now complete. Jinzhou is no longer under threat.

"Jué": This situation has been analyzed before, but the number of variables made reaching a safe conclusion impossible.

"Jué": To accomplish her goal, Jinhsi must possess both strength and confidence. Revealing the truth to her earlier would only add to her troubles and not aid in improving her abilities.

"Jué": Today was not the ideal moment for our destined battle to unfold, but the Fractsidus has remarkably escalated its arrival.

"Jué": The flow of time on Mt. Firmament has been restored to its natural pace, but the citizens of Hongzhen must still contend with shortened lifespans should they attempt to depart.

"Jué": Fortunately, with Jinhsi's Resonance Ability, they can stay safe as long as they remain on the mountain.

"Jué": For lack of a better solution, this is the best we can do.

"Jué": Through countless ages, the imposing Mt. Firmament stood firm against the storms. But as spring brings thunder and change, one feels a spark of transformation in the air.

"Jué": The people of Hongzhen have a bright future ahead, one that can be steered in the right direction within mere days. With proper leadership.

Abby: Whoa... What... What's wrong?!

Abby: Rover, who's bullying you?!

Abby: Is it you, big thing?! Huh?! How dare you, I'm gonna teach you a le...

Abby: Ooh, so you must be that Sentinel! Hehe, hello there big one!

Abby: Rover, why didn't you wake me up earlier? I've got a feeling I missed out on a lot of fun!

"Jué": Worry not.

"Jué": The wuthering waves ebb and flow. They shall send you back to where you belong.

Return to Hongzhen

"Jué": One suggests heading back to Hongzhen to reunite with your companions, Lord Arbiter.

"Jué": With Mt. Firmament no longer posing a threat, surely Hongzhen will undergo significant changes.

Storyteller: Mt. Firmament glowed with the sun's light, high above the clouds and snow. Then suddenly, they vanished, revealing a distant blue sky.

Storyteller: And amidst it all stood a white-haired maiden, like a goddess descended from the heavens.

Storyteller: With a mere wave of her hand, she brought forth a new season, transforming the streets below.

Storyteller: This maiden was none other than the dead infant, now reborn as the Magistrate of Jinzhou.

Storyteller: "When thunder roars in spring's embrace, the sun shall shine upon this place."

Storyteller: "For only through death and strife, can one truly embrace new life."

Phrolova: Hmm... I see. Doesn't matter. That’s not important for our goal.

Phrolova: We have the answers we wanted already.

Phrolova: —With the Second Resonance Awakening, we will tap into powers that rival the Sentinels... Complete control of the artificial Resonator Awakening process is within reach.

Phrolova: And lastly, about that Rover...

Phrolova: This trip was worth it. We've collected many wonderful notes, haven't we?

Phrolova: It's about time.

Phrolova: Get moving. Can't let a certain someone wait too long behind bars.
