[ Dagny's face appears on the network. Behind her are snowy plains, where small gnomes are jumping and playing. Her face is flushed from the cold, but she smiles. ]

Hello! I hope you're all doing well! The Timeline has finally computed your mission objective — sorry it took so long! Sometimes he gets a little slow. Now, I know he may seem— different, but he's always been correct! Just... ah, be careful when talking to him? He's a learning machine, and all he really knows is about missions, so sometimes he says some strange things when he goes off topic. But don't worry! He tries his best. I'll connect you to him now.

TIMELINE.EXE IS PROGRAMMED TO RELEASE MISSION PARAMETERS. MISSION OBSERVATION IS COMPLETE AND RESULTS FOR MISSION: Nalawi ARE AS FOLLOWS:

Hello World ( ﾟ▽ﾟ)/ Take the hassle and confusion out of the
Mission,
Try this One Weird Trick!

To help NALAWI, you will need to DEFEAT the GODDESS NALANNI so the energy can return to the world.* In doing so, the people of NALAWI will LOSE THEIR POWERS but the world will continue on. If this objective is not reached, NALAWI will BURN OUT PREMATURELY.

*NOTE FROM TIMELINE.EXE: Giant squid of the Sea, too
2 or 0 Not 1! Thank you

Perhaps so.

[Then again, perhaps not.]

We shall see, should you choose to fight.

[circulets]

In our current state, my artes are more of use to heal any wounds anyone receives. However, I won't just do nothing.

I suppose we may see one another then.

[babbylon]

Even I am not so arrogant to assume we will manage godslaying without suffering considerable injury.

[That part of the thrill, even. Part of the fun, watching the life bleed out of you and betting yours against theirs in the process.]

Do not see it as a source of shame; do your duty in attending the others, and glory shall also be yours once we triumph.

[circulets]

Glory isn't what I want. Unless... That's what you yourself are after.

[ Being surrounded by too many humans is still overwhelming in itself to him as it is. He'll just... do it for the sake of helping. ]

[babbylon]

[Grinning now.]

What else could one seek in battling the gods?

[circulets]

[ Really... ]

Getting our powers back, for one.

[babbylon]

Well, that's a given. Aim higher, boy.

[circulets]

It's Mikleo. [ He's been called worse, but... The more he speaks with this person, the more he's getting a bad taste in his mouth. ]

And anyways, that's just about it. Solving the problems here, supporting those who are fighting and fighting as well -- I don't care for getting any sort of fame out of this.

[babbylon]

[Bad taste would be something of an underreaction. Gilgamesh was a lot worse than bad, and he'd say as much himself.]

I am a Hero. I cannot help but always think of fame; that too is ever blazing within my blood.

[circulets]

A hero is someone who does the right thing for the sake of doing the right thing, isn't it?

[ That logic is completely wrong. ]

[babbylon]

[Indeed it is.]

Not at all.

[circulets]

No. That way of thinking isn't heroic at all.
