I bet he wants me to explain Temporal Scaling to you? Wonderful. Another waste of time. Here's an idea, experience it yourself.

You remember your escape from the Zig, right? Well someone was messing with the time-stream and started by making sure you didn't escape that day. You need to go back and correct their alteration. We in Ouroboros call this 'mending', which is what we're all about here.

Well. what are you waiting for? Get going!

Post Mission Debrief: Oh, you succeeded. Well, even the most primitive cave dweller finds fire evntually.

As you could see from that little exercise you lost access to a whole slew of your abilities. It was basically your body adjusting to a different time stream. We call this Temporal Scaling. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does it can come as a shock. It adjusts what you call 'Combat Level' in this time period to fit that of the time stream you are now in. Different streams have different scaling. I chose that mission for you because it is the harshest form of scaling out there, and what better way to drive the point home?

Now, go talk to Twilight's Son... he has more patience to set you up with Ouroboros than I do.
