Who: Everyone who signed up for the plot!
What: Jade is taking a team to explore the Mysidian Tower before it'd swallowed by the Calamity.
When: February 8th-12th
Where: The Mysidian Tower on the Continent of Ruin.
Warning: Everything that can be expected of surprise monster encounters. Beyond that, whatever people bring with them.

The Enterprise brings everyone involved to the tower on the afternoon of February 8th. Thankfully the early floors have already been cleared by previous explorers, making the initial entry easy and relatively safe. Once the Heroes start reaching the upper floors, however... Who knows?

[ Sheena looked at Albel. She could understand his frustration. There had to be a way to stop the thing. Shaking her head, she pointed to the simulation. ]

We saw what happened to the Calamity when a different colored Crystal was used. Time either sped it up or slowed it down. And only the Calamity was affected. So, it isn't too farfetched to believe that there's one that will stop time for the Crystal itself.

[ Reverse it, then stop it, is what she's thinking. And obviously done from this tower. ]

Yeah. If we knew that, we'd have at least some idea what's going on. Does anyone know if there's anything special about where it stopped?

[For a long time again Sephiroth falls into silence, fixating his eyes downwards and canting his chin towards the translation he's been holding out for the others to see. As if it might have a hidden answer somewhere in the left-handed scrawl he's written already. About half way through the discussion between Sheena and Albel another thought strikes and he looks between them, patiently waiting for the right time that he could make another comment.]

I...get the feeling we're asking the wrong questions.

[It's followed by a frown, mostly at himself, given as he certainly doesn't know any better than they do. All he has in his favor is the extensive tenure he's spent on Crystallis so far in this cycle.]

What exactly does the reset of a cycle do, exactly? Does it affect physical locations, or only strip all life away from the world at once, and reset it? There are many locations, on Mysidia specifically which have to predate the last cycle.

[Blink. Slower blink. Sephiroth turns to Sheena directly; he's surprised she doesn't remember.]

Remember...the Calamity halted when we were thrown back in time. Given that we all contain a part of the Calamity itself, it doesn't take much to reason out why that might have been.

It had no reason to expand?

[Sephiroth folds his translation back up and then turns a little away from the group; he's clearly unconvinced of his own theories, as yet.]
