  1. Castle Heterodyne is big. Piranesi big. I like it. It's a place where you can install a gigantic killer clank and it won't seem 'cramped'.
  2. I am delivered to the gate by a guard unit. Once there I'm unshackled. Tempted to take a few of them down, but they're just pawns. Like me.
  3. Like all prisoners in the castle, I'm outfitted with an exploding collar. Ha! The fools, my head is the least dangerous part of my body.
  4. I have been charged with going into Castle Heterodyne and retrieving the Baron's son; Gilgamesh. Alive. Unharmed. Sane. Two out of three?
  5. I don't remember much about Grantz capturing me. It was fast, confusing and rather unsporting. Probably a perfect job in her eyes. Now what?
  6. My hands are released. Tingly. Grantz, the Baron's monster hunter, keeps a gun on me at all times. Very professional. I'm given a recorder.
  7. I have been having a great deal of trouble with this recording device. I have banged it on a variety of different rocks to little effect.
  8. Been too long since I saw so many people. My host says that I collapsed on the road, they robbed me, and put me to bed. Charmingly honest.
  9. Now I have to try and remember what that Tarvek fellow said. I think I have to head to the East. He said something about Mechanicsburg.
  10. Perhaps this isn't an "either/or" situation. I can leave Oslaka in the sewers of Paris, thrash the Other, and be back for her by Christmas.
  11. But...then the Other will devastate the world. It might do so anyway, but I KNOW what will happen if I go to Oslaka. But I was so happy.
  12. This is wonderful! I can see her again! Of course she won't know me. She's still living in the sewers of Paris. I...I could do it all again.
  13. I sit up. My hands…my body! Damn! I look good. Amazing! That Tarvek fellow has done it! I'm back in the year-Oh! Oslaka is still alive.
  14. There is an old man looking at me. He asks me how I'm doing? Good question. My head doesn't hurt. Good. The rest of me...Man, I feel GREAT!
  15. AAAAAGH! My head! My head is killing me! I sit up. A young girl, who was churning butter, jumps up and runs out. Uh-oh. I feel myself passi-
  16. Tarvek says that he will send my consciousness back in time and it will "take over" my younger body. Okay, I've heard enough. Smack time.
  17. Apparently the past has a different "energy state". Tarvek questions me a bit and spins some dials-why, that's me! Standing outside Paris!
  18. He says that this isn't just a viewer, it's an actual portal into the past. I ask why we couldn't just step through. Ah. It's "complicated".
  19. He takes me to a control room and powers up some odd looking devices-Good lord! It's a hole in the air! There's people and-this is the past!
  20. Tarvek shrugs and says that this won't be a problem. The dust around us is apparently a high energy source and now, I am too. Interesting!
