She instructs him to refer to her as Grand Auntie in order to avoid confusion. Grand Auntie asks if they’ve heard of a time crystal, and Promontory mentions that Katsim had spoken of it, but isn't sure how to get one. Grand Auntie has information that will help them do so, but they have to take the utmost care, for they will have to steal this crystal. While Promontory doesn’t like that idea, Grand Auntie tells them that’s how they get home and they can’t linger in that time. | ||
Younger Emond meets with Nijal and younger Emond who suggests she calls him Uncle to help avoid confusion. Uncle tells them they need to get back to their own time before the Loom Cultists find them. Emond mentions that they had met them when they boarded the OEB earlier. Nijal asks what they are, and Uncle explains they are Time Zealots who take extreme views on enforcing consequences for forbidden time travel. Uncle has no memory of the incident. When Nijal asks why they’re being told this information, Uncle tells them a Red Directive, which is what this is, trumps the Temporal Prime Directive. However, Uncle says they can’t help them directly, but he can tell them one time crystal in in close range, but guarded by a black market dealer. He also warns them the Loom Cultists might follow them because of a variance in a non zero probability field which Nijal states they’ll try to avoid. Uncle passes along the information they need. | Younger Emond meets with Nijal and younger Emond who suggests she calls him Uncle to help avoid confusion.

Those who went to the station were successful in procuring most of the supplies they need - everything except dilithium, which is most important for returning home. With people healed and the saboteur eliminated, the crew must focus on finding a way back to their own time by stealing a time crystal from Sbadni, a black market | Those who went to the station were successful in procuring most of the supplies they need - everything except dilithium, which is most important for returning home. With people healed and the saboteur eliminated, the crew must focus on finding a way back to their own time by stealing a time crystal from Sbadni, a black market dealer, using the information from the future versions Emond and Promontory. They have the opportunity to use a soiree on the moon the dealer owns in order to accomplish the task. | ||
