What other countermeasures did they prepare?
We have the means to know when it might be used, due to the amount of energy it would need to generate to do what it does. A swift reactionary measure is all but inevitable.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>
I see. A worst-case scenario, then?
A scenario so unfortunate that even preparations for the worst didn't foresee it count as great candidates for being called "worst case", I have to say.
<Snipped quote by Valiance>
Mm. And no means to remotely disable the system or track it, regardless of who chose to reactivate it?
It was also never expected to be uprooted and moved so readily. No, nothing of the sort. We can call it a combination of circumstances we thought impossible.

And your people haven’t discovered some way to stop it in the intervening years?
Stopping it as in rendering it inoperable? Sure, that was done. The issue is there was never a concern for the creator to return from the dead and reclaim it.
<Snipped quote by Valiance>
From what I understand, that itself could be worthy of concern.
The tower is one large, nigh-untraceable weapon of mass destruction. It's incredibly concerning.
<Snipped quote by Valiance>
No word on Garsun’s activities either?
Silence. He took his tower and went totally off the grid.

On the subject of timers, has anything else noteworthy transpired since my withdrawal?
Would be news to me if it had. But I guess that depends on how out of the loop you are.

Simultaneously, Ridge’s timer depends on your unknown adversary. We may have no time to spare whatsoever.
Difference being one timer’s expiration will be explosively obvious. The other could slide under the radar. I plant to shift my bets as it becomes more and more likely for Akora to return.
<Snipped quote by Valiance>
In order to contend with the Hidden Elements debacle? Ridge’s situation may be more temporally urgent.
That all depends on Akora. That timer could very easily be incredibly short and neither of us are the wiser.
<Snipped quote by Valiance>
Indeed. We seem to be facing a number of slow timers. That condition provides us time to consider and act, but withholds from us the luxury of stockpiling resources and information indefinitely.
No need to rush much... But I may need to put finding Ridge on the backburner soon, as much as it hurts.
