A sudden and strange feeling overwhelms you as time seems to stop completely. Lusy flutters in to assist you. "This is it, operatives," Lusūrā inquit, "the mission has begun! This is your first real challenge and thankfully you won't be entirely on your own. At the end of each TSTT-insertion, you'll find a link to the CODEX. The CODEX is a powerful tool filled with important information to assist you. You should always consult the CODEX before considering how to react as your Recentius.
