Background
Episode Description
Deep in the scrapyards of Gift-3, a bubbling ocean of glass is battered by an massive, endless lightning storm. And beyond the sheets of rain, lies Barricade, the axiom that Notion members Signet, Echo, and Even must deal with on order of Kitcha Kanna, their dubious taskmaster and the Chief Expeditionary of Advent's technology division in the Mirage. They prepare their minds, ready their Anglers, and take flight... But when they pierce the storm, will they find a fight or something more?
This week on Twilight Mirage: The Center of the Storm
Sparks of lightning storm behind wet faces
Previously On Twilight Mirage
Signet, Echo, and Even arrived on Gift-3 to find the stitch that connects the two sides of the Tides of Harmony. They found the stitch at the base of Advent Discovery and Salvage Society's elevator camp. Signet suggested a deal between Advent, the Concretetown Particulars, and the Volunteers of Seiche. The three groups negotiated an agreement on their own. Kitcha Kanna, the leader of Advent, contacted the Notion and asked them to capture or destroy the Axiom causing an electrical storm.
Plot Summary
Signet, Echo, and Even prepare to breach the Axiomatic storm caused by Barricade. The three of them fly the World Without End above the storm and prepare to do a low-orbit drop. They quickly realize that Barricade has taken over several ships and mechs that are crashed nearby, which Barricade uses to attack them. Even leads the group, all in Angler mechs, through the debris. Signet and Echo fight the mechs, using shields and a warhammer respectively, and they ultimately break through the wall.
The Notion arrives at a large seaside village filled with music. The Axiomatic scanner indicates that Barricade is still somewhere in this village, but they find Polyphony playing music with villagers. One of the villagers, Lumen Lux, greets them. They explain that they're from Seiche, but they crashed their ship and Polyphony saved them.
Lumen takes the Notion to a hotel and helps them settle down. The Notion begins to notice that very few people in the village seem to be individuals; most of them are extensions of Polyphony. Together with Lumen, they go to meet Elia Tet, a Rogue Wave admiral.
