"Just a moment, let me check the important stuff. ➜" She takes a quick scan through any programs that had been accessed in the past few weeks. Her internet browser, GIMP, notepad++, foobar2000, and some program with the ability to change the wallpaper to a gif file were accessed.
"hmmm... he did use some programs... ➜"
And with that, she notices that the list has a scrollbar.
After scrolling down just one, the color nearly fades from her face. She is now standing there with a terrified stare, breathing quick and shallow.

Mike crosses his arms and looks to Niki. "Hopefully it wasn't anything too bad..."

She finally regains the wits to continue. As she feared the most, he had accessed the skaianet exile console program.
She has to set things right. Niki takes a deep breath.
Right away, remembering her reason for resolve, she springs into action, opening the program to check for recent changes.
"...it says, he's meddled with two different sessions. Session 94... and Session 1225. ➜" Her resolve turns straight into simmering rage
"...1225 is the elf session. ➜"
That bastard. He got the last laugh, even after her entire elaborate campaign against him.

Seth appears to be a little bit impatient, tapping his toe.
"I thought you sαid you were gonnα get the fuck off my property once you got your glαsses bαck."

'W-wait.'
Kat shifted her expression from one of confusion to one of stern-ness.
'Why would he want to mess with two sessions?'
'Why the fuck does he need to play with a buncha Christmas Elves?' Elsey butted in.
'I can't just let something Chronos did slip by without knowing if it'll cause grave consequence. Even if he is sealed now, I have to be cautious.'
Kat's hands tighten into fists. She refuses to let more damage be caused by neglect.

Niki looks back through the suggestion log and takes note of the cruel deeds he had pushed forwards. Much of the logs involved guiding unsuspecting pawns down bloody paths of destruction. The last suggestion results were the most gruesome of the lot.
"...ugh, I can't look at this too long. too much blood. ➜" she is secretly glad that elves bleed pink, or else she probably would have fainted.
After a few minutes of browsing through the gruesome scenes, she exclaims the obvious, which she halfway already kinda knew about, but not in this context.
"it's... it's that freaking Thoren guy! He and that guy orchestrated the whole freaking thing! I should have known he had support from his future self! ➜"
"Chronos ruined Christmas! With his freaking recount tale origin story! ➜"
Niki punches her own thigh in disgust and rage.
"AAAGH!!!➜➜➜➜➜➜"

Seth holds the side of his head in confusion and frustration.
"This shit isn't mαking αny fucking sense."
He finally places the cleaning bucket down on the ground and out of the way.
"I get thαt he wαs α fucking sαdistic αsshole, thαt pαrt of the story's been obvious from dαy one. But trying to trαce αll the strings connecting his timeloops? How the fuck did he ever come up with this kind of complicαted shit?"

'He was...finishing his loops...? I don't follow.'
Kat was even more confused now. Because of her lack of interaction due to working on more important secret projects,
she was completely unaware of what has been happening to this universe as well as other related ones. This certainly bit her in the ass.
'W-well, what's done has been done, unfortunately...But is there anything that we can salvage from this? Or it this just it?' She rubs her head, as if she had a headache going on.
Cleaning after this menace's messes certainly is stressful. She really feels sorry for Niki at this point as all of her hard work is...well.
'Which session is Session 94, even?' At this point, Elsey is lounging in mid-air. Same old shit from the same old man.
'Shit, all this fuckery from the old fart made me forget about what I was gonna do.'
Elsey pulls out a large bowl of assorted cookies. They're still warm...
She figured that the shit Chronos pulled was enough of a slap in the face for Niki, and she doesn't need more of that.

After a moment of beating herself up, Niki calms down a little.
"At this point, I think the jinglorian elf session is done for. All the players that were in it are dead. They got completely party-wiped. ➜" Niki sighs as she closes the window displaying the blood-drenched endgame platform on her glasses. A whole lot of effort for this.
She looks over at the thing in the list that says Session 94. What even is this session? Or was, who even knows if it still stands a chance of any success anymore?
"I'm, actually not even sure about that session. Let me check this thing out. ➜" She takes a deep breath, preparing for the worst.
Niki looks through the suggestion logs, taking note of the date ranges.
"okay... let's see here... it appears most of the suggestions are pre-entry, far before the date of the Reckoning... ➜"
She continues to scroll through the timeline menu.
"There's a handful of them that take place during a small section in the middle of the session, most of it is left untouched around then... I'm almost afraid to look at the viewport. ➜"

'W-well, at least look at one...? Maybe just to check if you can guess which one it would be?'
Kat really had no idea what to do, this was definitely not something she was ever aware of. Or even imagined.
'You were right when you said this shit is powerful.' Elsey just takes a cookie from the now floating bowl and munches on one.
'You guys probably might be hungry, so take some. They're still at a nice temperature.'

Niki gathers the courage to peek at the viewport feed. She clicks on one of the suggestions from pre-entry. "...wow. No wonder he chose this session. You guys gotta check this out. ➜"She presses a button and faces towards the outside wall of the house. A projected image appeared on the wall from her glasses.  A somewhat feminine looking figure with pale skin and tall white horns looks out across the desert, wearing a tan/brown diamondback patterned outfit, as well as a golden light brown cloak. |

Seth walks out of the house and looks over at the projected image on the wall, even more confused than ever at the content.
"Who the fuck is thαt?!"

Kat looks at the image. Then at Elsey. Then back at the image. Then at Seth. This repeats for a while.
'The resemblance is uncanny...Then...' She has an expression filled with wonder...and curiosity.
Elsey, however, is simply dumbfounded.
'W.....What the fuck.'

"let me check another entry on here... ➜"Niki switches the viewport to a different scene, this time in some sort of busy town in an arid climate.  "... ➜"Nothing to say. She is completely speechless.

"...holy shit."
Seth could barely believe his eyes. a place populated by those like him and Elsey. Somewhere where he wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb.
Somewhere where he could maybe... belong?
Maybe he'd have to wear some special contacts, but other than that, he could definitely see himself fitting into a society like that.
Maybe that was the reason why his father chose to guide and watch these people... or maybe he just has a huge ego and likes looking at himself in the mirror.
