No, unfortunately. Not without a target time to aim for, which I don’t think we have, unless you picked that up somewhere?

@Multifarious

Can you at least get us some kind of direction?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

The place is very conveniently hard to investigate.

@Multifarious

Can you do some kind of algorithm to figure out the epicenter with just the time differences?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Well…
*”Scans” over the environment manually by just scoping out what can be seen from above*

@Multifarious

*The city has the appearance of a normal civilization well integrated to its natural subterranean environment, and gold has nearly crept up the entirety of the mountainous chunks that collapsed onto the city due to our entry*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I think they’ve got me a good perspective now. I can try to check the whole city out as well.
*Does a top-down scan of the city proper*

@Multifarious

*The gold has an unnatural signal absorption property and strongly dampens the beacon as you try to reconstruct its image*

It’s overrated anyway.

@Valiance

Chickpea, you do the math. If we find the difference between here and the clock tower, can we find the epicenter?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Not gonna gamble and try to get it all to yourself either?

@Valiance

I'm here for its heart. Glory can come later.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Your call. Depends what you’re comfortable with.

@Valiance

I say we stick together. I don’t want to give you the entire fight.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Either it happened and it had to travel along the path of its effect, or it did whatever caused this and the effect rippled outward from it and it stayed at the epicenter. So if your call is the latter, then yeah. Oldest.

@Valiance

If it stayed in the center, the clocks will match along a circle. If it moved, the path will wind. We could either trace it or split up.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Newest or oldest?

@Valiance

If we’re thinking the same thing, oldest.

*Looks at the tower you point at, then walks in the opposite direction of it, glancing around for another indicator of time in that direction*

@Valiance

*Clocks and watches preserved in the golden overlays creep forward in their drift the further you walk*
