When I woke up in another dimension, surrounded by nothingness and a ROB. I did not know I would be offered to quest around the multiverse to fix different problems or gain power. But we both knew the real reason; it was more than simply questing ac...
Before I can begin to explain, the reality begins to crack around as everything begins to fade out, as Romani says over the comms.
[Explanations later! I need to get you all out of there now! Prepare for ray shift!]

All of us are soon teleported in a blinding flash of yellow light, leaving the burning city to disappear into the annals of human history.
The first Singularity ends as it begins in utter and complete silence. Soon enough, we find ourselves in what remains of the ray shift room as Ritsuka falls over unconscious due to the effects of ray shifting.
I pick up the girl as Romani enters the room. I ask, "Romani, I know you have questions, but I would need to know if you have a space available to put her down other than the Infirmary."
Romani looks at me and says, "Luckily, we have some private rooms available as most of the residential spaces are intact. I will lead you there now."

So, if we walk through the hallways, Romani asks, "So, who exactly are you, Ozias?" I ponder my answer as I say, "You already know my name, Dr. Romani. I am Linus Ozias, but simply more."
He raises his eyebrow and says, "Please define what you mean." I continue, "It's rather simple. The reason I joined the project wasn't because the director simply asked. It was because I was asked to by another party. I assume Gaia and Alaya ring a bell?"
His eyes widen as he asks in almost shock, "You are telling me that the beings that represent the world itself asked you to be here. Do we need to do a psych evaluation, Mr. Ozias?"
I shake my head as I state, "I have never lied since I came here, and I am not lying now. I can assure you I am here to help and preserve the human order, but I assume you will not trust my words, and even my actions in the last Singularity may not have proven much, but I ask for the opportunity to prove myself."
He looks like he wants to ask me something as he then sighs and says, "Honestly, if we weren't so down to the wire, I would have had a full investigation made to your claims, but we're too desperate, and we lack, but I will be watching you."
I give him a solemn nod and say, "If you truly wish to test my resolve, we could sign a geas if you so desire." Romani gasps and says, "You do know what that would involve, correct you would be burying yourself in a contract?"
"If that is what is needed to make my claims more truthful and my allegiance more cemented here, I'm willing to take the risk." We look each other dead in the eye as we stop in the hallway before one of the private rooms, unblinking and unmoving.
Romani then says, "That won't be necessary. I have seen enough, and while yes, it may take some time to trust one another, we shall see for now. Let us get our orange-haired friend to her bed."
