Bow characters are recommended.

The bridge was awash in red light,
the ship's instruments shrieking warnings of
impending crisis in one final act of service.
Amidst that shrill chaos,
a solitary figure stood motionless,
gaze fixed on the gleaming ships in the distance.
He prayed for a future of peace.
--
A dazzling light blooms in the heavens.
Then it is gone, along with the Oxsecian ship.
--
All those who were locked in deadly combat
around the Life Breeder stand stunned and
breathless.
Humans, lizardfolk, beastfolk, stonefolk,
the Oxsecian children with identical faces,
even the wild alien creatures--all stand
transfixed, gazing up at the empty sky.
"It's...beautiful."
As glowing debris from the Oxsecian ship
disperses, a warm glimmer illuminates
the heavens.
--
Then something curious happens.
One instant you stand gazing up
at that celestial glow, and the next...
everything goes black.
When light and vision return,
you find yourselves in an unfamiliar world.

"Wh-what is this place?"
Eerie, grating sounds and the stench of decay
hang in the air. The remains of something
monstrous lie scattered at your feet.
A bleak wasteland surrounds you,
stretching away as far as the eye can see.
Planet Beastbait...is no more.
That alien world is already gone,
reborn as a new technological life form--
a new Animata.
You should be aboard that Animata.
You were until a moment ago. But now...
"This place is crawling with monstres..."

The newcomer appears to be a robotic soldier.
One of your companions calls to it tentatively.
"Are you all right?"
"My name is Proto. I am grateful for
your assistance."
It doesn't seem to be hostile.
In fact it seems oddly...emotional,
its mechanical voice almost maudlin.
"At last... I've found survivors at last..."
The party is bewildered. But there's no
time for questions now.
"Talk can wait. We need to deal with them first!"

"There, can you see it? That's our castle."
Proto points at a soaring spire that towers
over the horizon like a gargantuan sword.
"You, too, have lost your homeland, yes?
Consider our castle your home now.
You need not fear."
"Castle? Home...? What do you mean?"
"We've been in search of kindred life forms
remaining on this world. Though we've
occasionally found ruins of old habitations,
we have never encountered any life aside
from monsters."
Proto pauses.
"Until today, that is. You are the first."
31.5[]

"You've been journeying alone, Proto?"
"No, I was damaged, you see..."
"And your friends abandoned you?!"
"No. I am the only one left. But now that i have
met you, I have happy tidings to bring to the castle.
This is the best news imaginable."
Proto offers to take you to the castle.
"Well, this Proto doesn't seem like a bad sort.
What say you all? Anyone object to going along?"
No one objects.
31.6[]

"Nothing left but ghosts and rust..."
The ruined husk of a city lies around you.
"This area has been long abandoned."
Proto explains.
"What in the world happened here?"
"The beginning of the end... was that light."
An ominous red light emanates from the bowels of
the planet like a miasma, seeping through cracks
and crevices to cast an eerie glow on your
surroundings here and there. It illuminates Proto
now, seeming almost to burn him.
"The technological life forms emit that light.
They're devastating the land..."
Technological life forms.
That certainly rings a bell.
"Surely it can't be..."
As one, you all blurt the name along with Proto:
"...Animata."
31.7[]

Proto's mouvement grows visibly sluggish
in battle now and then.
"You're still wounded--er, damaged?"
"It is nothing serious."
"Magic isn't much help, I guess.
What should we do?"
"There are repair pods at the castle.
If we can just make it there..."
"Why didn't you say so sooner?
Stay behind us, got it ?"
Proto protests repeatedly but eventually
acquiesces, sensing an unwavering strength
in his new comrades.
31.8[]
- I can hardly wait to tell everyone at the castle about you all!

This was once a lush and verdant world--
until the day that noxious red light appeared,
withering the land and driving the beasts mad.
Proto and his companions' efforts to fight it
proved fruitless. Only a barren shell of the
once fertile land now remains.
"But you...you might be able to restore it,"
Proto says in a hopeful voice.
"I can hardly wait to tell everyone at the
castle about you all!"
"Well, we've best make it there in one piece, then."
"Indeed."
31.9[]

You've nearly reached the castle
when one of your companions notices
something odd.
"Smell that? A sweet fragrance..."
Proto seems alarmed.
"Surely it cannot already be..."
"What is it?"
"We must hurry! If it fully matures,
it could well destroy us all..."
31.10[]

It starts with a clatter,
your belongings rattling noisily together.
The earth rumbles faintly beneath your feet.
- Spitch
Lv74 x8
Suddenly, the ground bulges up ahead.
Something burrows a swift circle around
the party, fencing you in. The earth cracks
from the momentum and erupts in a massive
cloud of dirt and dust.
"Aaagh!"
"Get back!"
An immense shadow looms over the party.
"Incredible. I never thought we could
actually defeat it," says Proto, awestruck.
He's lost far too many friends to that
monstruosity...
He turns his attention back to you.
"Well the journey was long, but we made it.
Welcome to our castle."
It wasn't apparent from a distance,
but up close the castle is quite a desolate sight.
It was evidently a dazzlingly elegant palace once,
and vestige of something resembling a moat and
part of a garden are still visible.
Aside from that, however, the castle gives
the foreboding sens that it teeters
precariously on the brink of collapse.
What's left of the castle gates has rotted away
so entirely that they no longer serve any
purpose as gates.
"Allow me to show you inside," says Proto.
Despite the dilapidated facade,
the castle interior is in surprisingly good repair.
It retains an air of dignity and grace.
"Where are we?"
"The audience chamber.
Our king will receive you here."
A new voice greets you.
"Welcome, good travelers.
We are kindred of the same world,
and our home is now yours."
The man addressing you appears to be
an advisor to the king. He turns to Proto.
"You've done admirably, Proto."
Proto lowers his head reverently.
"Well, then. Our great father and king awaits."
Two massive, elaborately carved doors stand
before you. A rumbling fills the chamber as
they glide apart, opening wide.
Proto calls joyously:
"My king! We've found them at last!
We've found comrades and kindred souls!"
The man he adresses as king stands
just beyond the doors.
It is none other than 54B2, king of the Oxsecians.
