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

[He's a man of great wisdom, to be sure, and she agrees with the course of action he's laid out 100% percent. However, there's something that has her train of thought screeching to a halt and tipping off the rails.

Which is—]

Unicorn-hair-and-moonstone?

[Is that even real?]

[weirdologist]

It works against interdimensional beings, I have no reason to disbelieve it wouldn't against gods.

[Meaning yes, that is a real thing.]

[strictdiscipline]

[How...interesting, for lack of a better word.]

Then it's a shame we have none of those materials within easy reach.

[But that seems pretty par the course for ALASTAIR, so she's really not that surprised and she's quick to move on]

But as you said, we should start setting up defenses for the Nalawi in the event things go wrong. If you have some time, I'd like to meet with you and discuss that in person.

[weirdologist]

Of course. Name a location and I'll meet you there.

[He has a lot of time on his hands now, sadly.]

[strictdiscipline]

[Most of them do, unfortunately. Might as well try and make the best of it.]

Let's meet at the inn in 15 minutes. We can move somewhere else once we meet up if need be.
