## Description

The Timelock Key event's Shadowed Past allegory 'Observation' depicts Sylus arriving on Earth 'at the most inopportune moment' — the Chronorift Catastrophe, when the Deepspace Tunnel tears open above Linkon City. Collapsing buildings and screaming crowds surround him; his reaction is mild amusement. The N109 Zone — a former tech hub shattered by the Catastrophe — acquires its informal numbering in the aftermath. Sylus begins establishing himself there immediately.
