Notes
A place similar to The Sanctuary in serenity. The player is greeted by Parma's Scout and much about Cradle is revealed, including the first mention of an entity dubbed The Sleeper.
|
Amazing...I never thought I'd see another one of us ever again! I'm glad to see you made it here safely.
|
|
|
Parma! Your Scout! You're alive! Where are you!? We need to get you back to Haven.
|
|
|
Apologies for not appearing in person. I'm hidden away in a safe place. I knew I'd never make it here in time when I noticed your signal. Luckily I was able to pull some strings and find you an exit.
|
|
- Where's Rulen? Euclid? Grantz?
|
Grantz he...he fell while protecting us from The Swarm. He stood his ground even when the rest of us were forced to flee. I'll never forget how brave he was.
|
|
|
The rest of us thought we weren't going to make it. But then...then the light surrounded us and we were safe. We've taken to calling it The Sleeper. We aren't sure what it is exactly, but it needs our help. This world was created to protect it but somehow The Swarm breached the Core and has been feeding on the energy and growing like a leech ever since.
|
|
|
Euclid volunteered to help The Sleeper. I'm sure he's in here somewhere battling The Swarm even as we speak. As for Rulen...Vaelyn, I'm sorry, he disappeared shortly after Euclid made his decision. I haven't been able to find him ever since.
|
|
|
There isn't much time. I can't reach you from here and you need to make it out. Warn headquarters. Warn Haven! If the Core isn't kept sealed The Swarm will escape and it will continue to consume everything and everyone.
|
|
- But what about you and the others?
|
The Swarm keeps growing stronger while The Sleeper grows weaker. Without us, all of us, The Swarm will win. Once, the gremlins were in charge of maintaining Cradle's defenses. But they had their own plans. We need to be Cradle's champions now.
It's our sacrifice.

Continue to fight the good fight, PLAYERNAME. Remember what you've learned. Farewell!
