This may come as a shock, but after I forcibly compressed the thing down to size, it solidified, crystalized, and stabilized. And I held time in the palm of my hand. It was a crystalline object about the size and shape of a dagger, or large icicle. Roughly.

@Audacious

Ah, you were responsible for the crystallization. That wasn’t a natural phenomenon.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I didn’t. That’s where I handed it off to Rythian.

@Audacious

What about when you initially acquired it?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

It self corrected when the area wasn’t affected anymore, bizarrely enough, so the cleanup was as easy as it gets.

@Audacious

How did you safely secure the artifact?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

It is kinda just collecting dust right now. Lame as that sounds.

@Audacious

That’s unfortunate. How did you resolve the time anomalies?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

It still exists. The whole shard, locked away.

@Audacious

What a useful research conduit. Your team was fortunate to have found it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

It was like a bad movie. Was making people from history come into Existence, but like in spurts, then they were gone again. Pure entropy. Absolute chaos. Massive headache.

@Audacious

Fascinating. Did you retain a sample?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I do. What’s one that I can share, though… Kinda simple, but there is a literal shard of the Time Element that was formed when a fissure of it was compressed very tightly. And it stabilized.

@Audacious

What effects did that have on the area?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Not particularly. Like, physically, on me.

@Audacious

I meant in the sense of recollection.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Usually. Sometimes anomalies are things we can and do contain.

@Audacious

Do you have an example on hand?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I find the source of the disturbance right off, or close to it.

@Audacious

And then neutralize them, I presume?
