At the Obs Deck, a small group of crewmembers had gathered for one purpose - to ask Stacy what she knew about the strange melting clock that they now knew had caused some of the crew to starting losing their time.

Once again, Stacy was in orbit around XaXing - but this time, the crew weren't going to get a shore leave. Only three crewmembers would set foot on the planet this time around, and they had a mission to do.

Return to the clock stall, and get the Melting Clock - by any means necessary.

With the end of Quarantine, all of the patients who'd been kept in the bubbles had been released (with the exception of those that Medical felt weren't safe to release), and brought back to the Med Bay proper. Some of them might leave, with family or friends to look after them, but others might remain in the Med Bay.

She had come a long way from her antisocial habits after the Jewel Seed incident, but it was still a little intimidating, (what she thought was) suddenly waking up on a ship full of complete strangers.

Well... there were some familiar faces. Sort of. What she thought were just weird dreams of herself, Nanoha, and Hayate several years older turned out to be memories, even though there was no way she could have experienced any of them. She had a hard time believing some of the things she could recall actually happened...

Like the dead coming back to life. She knew very well that something like that was impossible. But those memories of meeting her mother again on the ship were too vivid to be fake. And nothing bad had happened during those encounters, so... maybe nothing bad will happen if she paid her mother another visit now.

She knew Nanoha would be upset. Angry, probably. But she couldn't just let this chance pass her by. So instead of heading towards the apartment in the City where she remembered sharing with Nanoha, she turned down a different path, following that unmistakable magical signature...
