Pay the debt, get a call that we have the coordinates for Alt World #F18somethingorother. So I pop up the World Map and select the world, and we end up in the train station of an alternate Triglav. Vel decides then to call and tell us that we can't return until we've destroyed the Time Factor. Gee thanks for the heads up.
Jude and Leia decide to go get information, since what we're looking for in a Time Factor is a key difference from the Original World that resulted in all the other differences. We then hear one announced over the intercom: a train is departing for a place called Ascord, which doesn't exist in the Original World, so Alvin suggests the rest of us head there. I don't though, and go look around town first. This is why it sucks for anyone to watch me play video games, I tend to say screw the main story, I'm exploring/leveling/questing, bitch.
I get something for my trouble this time, though: a lot of people in town talking about the Greater Spirit of Light, Aska. Who wasn't seen or even mentioned in either game before now. Hmm.
I eventually board the train to Ascord, and find it to be a nice white and sterile laboratory. Before we can do too much exploring however, a voice behind us calls out Alvin by his real name "Alfred". It's Giland, Alvin's uncle and head of Arc Noah who was killed during the events of last game, so the older party members are naturally shocked, but Alvin recovers enough to play along. Seems Giland was able to get himself, Alvin, Alvin's mother and a few others back to Elenpios years ago-- the Shell hasn't fallen in this world-- and started this laboratory in order to harvest the solar power gleaned from the Spirit he brought back with him, Aska.
Giland isn't giving off any reactions that he's a Time Factor, so Alvin knocks him out and takes his building access cards, while the rest of the party wonders if Aska's the Time Factor instead.
