<p class="storyquotebox" style="font-style:normal; padding:0.5em 2em 0.5em 6.5em; font-size: 1.1em;">This video begins with 3D footage showing the same man in the yellow hazmat-esque suit seen in a few images and videos in the past. The video is reminiscent of a turn-based RPG from the PS1 era. The man walks to the edge of a highway overlooking a strange, distorted landscape. In the distance is a large moon with glowing eyes and an open mouth. It seems to be staring at a large, red, Saturn-shaped object in the distance. The moon is above a variety of twisting, interconnected paths. The Saturn-shaped object is above what appears to be a few smaller structures.

The man walks to the edge of the highway and selects a button in the top-left corner of the screen labeled as follows:

<span class="vip">L1 - Lens Mode</span>

This activates an overlay with the following text:

<span class="vip">Particle Parser
R1 - Change Layer</span>

The man cycles through the following options for the "Particle Parser":

<span class="vip">- TS Lens</span>

This option has a blue-colored overlay and shows some white-colored strings alongside the edges of the screen.

<span class="vip">- Anomaly Lens</span>

This option has a dark, cloudly, distorted effect.

<span class="vip">- PU Lens</span>

This option has a dark effect, revealing a grid of floating cubes high up in the sky.

<span class="vip">- Skybox Lens</span>

This option makes everything extremely dark. However, the background becomes much more complex looking. 

<span class="vip">- NULL Lens</span>

This option makes the entire screen bright green. The man closes the Particle Parser as a distorted, red object begins approaching him. Closing the Particle Parser makes it disappear. The man turns around and leaves, entering into a more open area. This location features an old highway and some greenery. Further off in the distance is a long path to a small building. Far off in the sky is a large, broken, green sphere. The man briefly activates the Particle Parser and switches to the "Anomaly Mode" before deactivating it. A random battle suddenly activates as the screen distorts.

The video transitions to a battle between the man and a twitching chimera of sorts. In this scene, we get a better look at the background. It seems to feature two more large green spheres closer to the moon and Saturn-shaped object. However, they are still intact. As the battle begins, the man has the following options:

<span class="vip">Attack
Devices
Item
Escape</span>

The man's stats seem to be as follows:

Name: <span class="vip">?????</span>
HP: <span class="vip">1592</span>
Energy: <span class="vip">182</span>

The man chooses the "Attack" option, hitting the enemy for only 63 HP. As he does so, a new icon appears in the top-left corner of the screen that reads as follows:

<span class="vip">^ Answer Call</span>

The enemy attacks the man for 342 HP. The man answers the call, bringing up a new overlay. This overlay features a large screen with a strange symbol featuring an eye on it. There is also a smaller screen to the right of this featuring random flashes of strange symbols and imagery. To the left of the screen are three different gauges that read as follows:

<span class="vip">COM
NUM.
STATUS</span>

There are also wavelengths that follow the audio of the three individuals that will soon be talking on this screen labeled as follows:

<span class="vip">S
D
M</span>

Through this, the man seems to be labeled "M". Two portraits appear on the bottom of the screen - one for "M" and the other for a man with long hair wearing glasses. He seems to be labeled "S". They begin speaking:

<span class="vip2">S: "What's your status?"</span>
<span class="vip3">M: "We've got some hostile… things out here."</span>

As "M" says this, an image of the chimera-like creature appears on the large screen above. A third man begins speaking. This one is labeled "D" and has blonde hair and goggles.

<span class="vip4">D: "Well that figures. There probably isn't a floating rock out here without a couple hundred freaks crawling around on it."</span>
<span class="vip2">S: "I was hoping this Proto Recollection would be clear, but…"</span>

As "S" says this, an image of a large cube with a landmass inside of it appears on the large screen above.

<span class="vip2">S: "Well, at least the environment itself hasn't been too affected by the Giga Memory Compression Platonic."</span>
<span class="vip4">D: "...Do you really have to call it by its full name every time?"
D: "Just call it GC Major - hell, you could've just said 'The Big Cube'!"</span>
<span class="vip2">S: "But… It sounds cool."</span>
<span class="vip4">D: "Look, just take those guys out and get outta there before the cube starts doing its thing!"</span>
<span class="vip2">S: "Dusk's right. Your survival is top priority. Use my tools however you see fit - that's what they're for, after all."</span>
<span class="vip3">M: "Right."</span>

"D"'s name is "Dusk", implying that they are actually Spencer. Assuming that "S" is "Seth", or Mason, it is possible that these three individuals are the Hacker Group, making "M" the mystery third member. The video returns to the battle. "M" selects the "Devices" option, revealing the following options:

<span class="vip">Charge     —
Reboot     —
Analyze     5
Signal Cannon     8</span>

He selects "Analyze" which has the following description:

<span class="vip">Take a snapshot of the enemy for more info.</span>

"M" uses "Analyze" on the enemy, reducing his energy by 5. The video becomes distorted and focuses on the chimera-like creature as the following text appears:

<span class="vip">Amalgamation

This poor abomination consists of several animals fused together. They must have deformed after being stranded on this Proto Recollection and exposed to the environment of the Parallelos…

It appears to be acting on pure instinct, so you shouldn't have to worry about it pulling any cheap tricks. Watch out for its 'Maul' attack, though - it has a high 'Crit' rate.</span>

This seems to confirm that "M" is currently in the Parallelos. The battle returns to normal as the Amalgamation uses its "Maul" attack, damaging "M" for 701 HP. "M" once again selects the "Devices" option. However, this time he scrolls further down, revealing the following options:

<span class="vip">Wraith Trap     8
Resonance Burst     22
OoTv2.1     40</span>

"M" selects "Resonance Burst" which has the following description:

<span class="vip">Frequency that lowers DEF and ATK of all enemies.</span>

"M" uses "Resonance Burst" on the enemy, reducing his energy by 22. "M" pulls out a device from his bag that looks similar to a large speaker. A red beam emits from the device, stunning the Amalgamation. "M" once again selects the "Devices" option and selects "Signal Cannon", which has the following description:

<span class="vip">Blasts single enemy with damaging signals.</span>

"M" uses "Signal Cannon", pulling a radio-looking device out of his bag and aiming at the enemy. The screen flashes as "M" blasts the Amalgamation, defeating it. A small victory jingle plays as "M" points finger-guns at the camera. A victory screen appears with the following text:

<span class="vip">Gained EXP!
Gained LS!

Exp: 150
LS: 5

????? EXP: 202045
Level: 17 Next: 1955</span>

"M"'s experience bar is raised as the new experience is applied to his current experience. The screen fades out and returns to the location from before. "M" runs off-screen, loading in a new location. This area is a road that leads to a nearby building. "M" opens the pause menu, which contains the following options:

<span class="vip">Devices
Item
Status
Spiritus
Formation
Journal
Chat
Config
Tutorial
Save</span>

The cursor is currently hovering over the "Devices" option, which shows the following description:

<span class="vip">Use and examine devices.</span>

"M"'s name, level, HP, and energy, here named "Charge", can be also be seen. The following text is also listed near the bottom:

<span class="vip">Parallelos - Forested GC Major
PLAY
19.37 G</span>

"M" moves the cursor down the options, revealing a few more descriptions:

Item: <span class="vip">Use and examine items.</span>
Status: <span class="vip">View status of party members.</span>
Spiritus: <span class="vip">Infuse Lenis Spiritus into devices.</span>

"M" selects the "Items" option, opening the items menu. Here, "M"'s name, HP, and Charge are once again listed, as well as the following options:

<span class="vip">Use
Rearrange
Sort
Battle</span>

"M" selects "Use" and begins browsing his items, revealing both their descriptions and amounts:

<span class="vip">Life Cube S     4     
Memory of mending. Restores 200 HP.

Life Cube M     2
Memory of rejuvenation. Restores 1000 HP.

Remedy Cube     1
Memory of a trip to the doctor.. Cures status.

Revival Cube S     2
Memory of a resuscitation. Revives with 300 HP.

Miracle Cube     1
Memory of a miracle. Restores full HP and Charge.

Energizing Cube S     3
Memory of powering up. Restores Charge by 40.

Oniontryptamine Bomb     7
A mysterious weapon with a forgotten purpose.

2D Memories Cassette
Unpleasent Nostalgia.

Chai Tea     2
Calming tea. Cures status and heals 100 HP.

KeyLogger592
A device. 'Shre-s-c' is written on the bottom.</span>

"M" uses three "Life Cube S"'s, bringing his HP back up to a safe amount. "M" exits out of the menu and continues down the path. He opens the Particle Parser. Here, two distorted entities can be seen moving towards him - one red and one green. He switches to the Anomaly Lens before closing the Particle Parser. "M" enters the parking lot of the building. Here, there seems to be several different buildings connected together. As he moves towards it, the video distorts as another random battle occurs.

The video transitions to another battle. "M" is now facing off against both an Amalgamation and a new enemy that looks more humanoid. "M" uses Resonance Burst on the two enemies, stunning the Amalgamation in the process. The humanoid enemy is unaffected, however, and attacks "M". "M" uses Analyze on the humanoid enemy, revealing the following text:

<span class="vip">Remnant

This is what becomes of those stranded within Proto Recollections for too long. Devoid of rational thought, these monstrosities act out of pure malice, targeting whatever moves.

While their bulking limbs are to be feared, their 'Screech' is far worse, paralyzing any unfortunate enough to be caught within earshot.</span>

The Remnant uses Screech, paralyzing "M". The Amalgamation proceeds to use Maul on "M", followed up by an attack from the Remnant, heavily damaging "M". "M" selects "Devices" and then selects "OoTv2.1", which has the following description:

<span class="vip">Utilize the power of the Harbingers.</span>

"M" uses the OoTv2.1, resulting in a new overlay appearing. Here, "M" enters the "Song of Time" into the device. The screen distorts as a new overlay appears. The following text is seen:

<span class="vip">You played the "Song of Time"!</span>

"M" then selects whether to go back one, two, or three turns as the video ends.
