General Summary

Introduction In the expansive world of Aldatu, time is a delicate thread woven by gods and manipulated by mortals. The story centers around five agents—Krell, Naive, Willow, Bendy Bob, and Zen—who serve as time cops, tasked with maintaining the balance of the timeline. Their latest mission throws them into a web of confusion when they discover that the god of chaos, Tidbit, is inexplicably functioning as the god of paradox, a role they remember belonging to Sinclair. As their investigation deepens, they are confronted with the chaos of a rewritten history and a plot that threatens the very fabric of time.

The Mysterious Time Distortion

Setting the Stage The agents find themselves in the command center, a realm outside of time filled with ticking clocks and hourglasses that defy the laws of physics. They are confused, not only by their current surroundings but also by the disturbing realization that their memories do not align with reality. Krell and Bendy Bob recall a distorted history, where Tidbit, a chaotic and unreliable god, now controls the forces of time and paradox.
The First Clues Tidbit's erratic behavior and conflicting stories raise suspicions among the agents. While he rambles about past missions involving carving out eyeballs and causing chaos, the agents remember a different history—one where Sinclair was the rightful god of paradox. Their doubts are confirmed when they discover inconsistencies in the command center's records, leading them to believe that something—or someone—has altered the timeline.

The Library Investigation

Search for the Truth The team heads to the library, a vast collection of all known time paradoxes and historical records. As they search for answers, they notice books disappearing and rewriting themselves before their eyes. Each book tells a different story, pointing to rogue elements and manipulated events that deviate from the timeline they know. The players find records of crucial events, such as the destruction of Laban, rewritten to obscure the true cause—a rogue chronomancer of unknown origin.
Revelation of Tampering In their search, the agents discover two sets of records: one penned by Tidbit, chaotic and disorganized, and another with perfect penmanship. The second set bears the unmistakable signs of careful, deliberate manipulation. The handwriting matches that of Alton Longbranch, a former ally and teacher at CAMP, who was once trusted by Sinclair and the agents. The pieces fall into place as they realize Alton has been altering history, rewriting paradoxes, and erasing records to cover his tracks.

Summoning the Gods

Iris and Zania's Involvement Faced with overwhelming evidence of time tampering, the agents call upon Zania, the god of administration, to help make sense of the shifting timeline. Zania confirms that the original records indicated Sinclair as the god of paradox, but something—or someone—had changed that. When Iris, the goddess who oversees the balance of power among the gods, arrives, she is initially dismissive but grows increasingly confused as she experiences flickers of purple energy affecting her memory.
The Search for Sinclair The agents plead with Iris to summon Sinclair, believing he can set things right. However, Iris’s sudden disappearance and the continued rewriting of the timeline suggest a deeper conspiracy. With Sinclair missing, the agents realize they must confront the rogue elements themselves. Zania, reluctant but sympathetic, agrees to put Alton Longbranch at the top of their suspect list.
The Showdown The Confrontation with Alton Longbranch The library walls collapse, and the ground shakes as monstrous roars fill the air. The agents rush outside, only to be met by six monstrous dragons guarding a figure they recognize all too well—Alton Longbranch. Once a trusted ally, he now stands revealed as the orchestrator of the chaos that has unraveled their reality. Dressed in brown leather pants and a loose linen shirt, Alton’s smug demeanor confirms their worst fears: he is the rogue chronomancer who has been manipulating time for his own ends.
Preparing for Battle Surrounded and outmatched, the agents steel themselves for a battle that will test not only their combat skills but their understanding of the timeline itself. As Alton’s dragons roar, the agents realize they are not just fighting for their survival but for the very structure of time. The outcome of this battle could determine the fate of the gods, the timeline, and the world of Aldatu itself.

Conclusion

The Stakes Ahead The agents are left with more questions than answers. Why has Alton betrayed them? What are his true motives? And most importantly, how can they restore the timeline and put Sinclair back in his rightful place as the god of paradox? With the library’s records disappearing and the gods themselves manipulated, the agents must rely on their wits, their powers, and each other to confront the chaos that Alton Longbranch has unleashed.
