This is where the fight gets real >:) Our main slugcat protagonist, Goldeneye, Is completely fed up with the pain the cycle is causing and decides to do something about it. He plans to destroy every iterator and cause so much damage that the cycle is broken and everything is released from this god-forsaken time loop. On the other hand, now that Artificer is gone for good, the Scavenger empire is free to grow infinitely. It's only a matter of time before they realise their potential and begin to expand. The main scavenger protagonist, Albino vulture, is a part of the "Conquer and Colonize" plan of clearing out regions and making them safe for scavengers to live in.
