NPCSomething about this strange creation of xenosorcery — the structure, the colour, the way it seems to pulse — makes your skin crawl. You recognise the features of the portal that once transported you into the looped reality of the exhibit, a trap that you escaped only by a sheer miracle.
YOU[Examine the portal]
YOU"A rather obsequious valediction for someone you called a pest, wouldn't you say?"
YOU"I am not entering that portal. I will not repeat Seberian's mistake."
Trazyn, Lord of HistoriesSilence reigns, and then it is broken by the xenos's gratified laughter. "Well done, human — your ability to draw conclusions from experience does you credit."

NPCIn the moment that your body plunges into the transdimensional vortex born of xenosorcery, you sense the echoes of spiteful laughter sounding behind you...

NPCThe strange product of xenosorcery gives off a shimmering glow. Your hopes of seeing the deck of your flagship on the other side are dashed — you see only a vortex of alien energy.

Trazyn, Lord of Histories"What is so surprising about my desire to be rid of you as soon as possible?" The Necron's voice is even, arrogant, and... utterly false. As if he is suppressing a malevolent smirk that imbues his very words with acid.

Trazyn, Lord of HistoriesTrazyn glances around at the crumbling Museion, then shifts his attention to you. "There is no point in continuing this battle. This part of my archive is past saving. I am just wasting my time on a stubborn pest who is intent on protecting a worthless exhibit."
YOU"I am no less tired of this battle than you. But if you do not retreat..."
Trazyn, Lord of Histories"I have no intention of continuing. Take Seberian von Valancius away. This part of the Museion has fallen, and I see no reason to remain here."
Trazyn, Lord of Histories"We have nothing more to discuss, and your presence here is inappropriate. I have opened a dimensional passage that will lead you out of the Museion and back to your ship. Go now." The xenos speaks in a tone of weary irritation and... something else. Something strange and dangerous.

Heinrix"The xenos is just... obligingly sending us home?" Disbelief rings in Heinrix's voice.

IdiraIdira wraps her arms around herself and begins to rock back and forth. Her lips are ringed with frost. "Beginning without end, end without beginning, connected, entangled, one after another. And on and on for eternity after eternity after eternity after eternity..."

YOU"Do you mean to say that you admit defeat and wish to surrender?"
Trazyn, Lord of Histories"Defeat? You have deprived me of an insignificant branch of my Museion. Your 'victory' is only that you managed to keep my attention on you for too long."

YOU"Death to the enemies of Humanity!"
Trazyn, Lord of Histories"Enough. I am ending this battle for its sheer pointlessness."
