Chapter 17: Cataclysm: Escape the Great Timequake
Our heroes follow the professor's shadow to the Xeno-Domain, where they finally learn the truth of Professor Chronos and his family. While they are there, something happens that rips a large hole in the Corridor of Time Layers! They try to enter the corridor in hopes of reversing the time layer distortion and preventing a massive timequake.

1. Scene 1
22 linesVery well... Begin the transmission process. Run it at maximum power.
Transmission Initiated. Max Power Authorized. Opening Gate...
Coordinate Margin of Error Below 0.0001%. Transmission Beam Stable. All Systems Clear.
Everything is working as it should. Step through when you're ready.
This will take us inside the Corridor of Time Layers, huh?
Thanks for all your help, Administrator. We'll get going now.
Wait.
......
Sir Administrator, is there a problem?
Aren't you afraid?
Afraid? Of what?
Of leaping into an unknown void, of course. Who knows what could happen in there? It could be unstable, and will almost definitely be hostile. Doesn't that bother any of you?
I'd be lying if I said it didn't. Way deep down, I am scared. Who wouldn't be? But I don't have the time to stand around quaking in my boots. If we don't act now, the whole world is done for.
Besides, we're not going it alone. We have each other.
Hm... I suppose you're right. Go, I'll be praying for your success.
Thanks. Just wait, we'll be back.
Transmitting Subject To Corridor of Time Layers.
The fate of the universe is in your hands.
This is the Corridor of Time Layers, huh?
Atmospheric composition, gravity, and temperature are all comparable to that on earth.
That's one less thing to worry about. But we still don't know what could be lurking in here.
True. We should keep our guard up.
2. Scene 2
7 linesWhat's up with this place?!
It looks like several different worlds layered on top of one another...
Antiquity, present, and future... The time periods are resonating with each other and phasing together. This would appear to be a characteristic unique to this location. I conjecture...
We've got bigger things to worry about!
Violent gravitational waves detected. This is a temporal distortion given physical form.
This is what Xeno Prisma created?
In other words, if we beat this thing, we stop the timequakes? That's some science I can get behind. Let's do this!
