Many years in the future. A Wayward Vagabond (WV), a Peregrine Mendicant (PM) and an Aimless Renegade (AR) have now become friends. It also seems both WV and AR have interest in PM. AR has given PM an ancient artifact. This is a squiddle plush that Jade had lost many years prior. This gift makes PM recall a memory.

We see what looks like AR. He is in the Land of Wind and Shade (LOWAS) next to John’s Dad’s Car. They’re dressed in the sort of outfit that the imps and Jack Noir wear. He is an Authority Regulator working for the some and needs to deal with an illegally parked vehicle. He left a parking ticket and has confiscated the contents. This includes the Package Jade left for John and the server beta.

Also on LOWAS a Parcel Mistress who looks like PM but in Prospit outfit. She notices the agent nearby holding a package she’s been looking for. She has a note about it that appears to be from Jade. But she mentions that the AR looking guy is an Agent and is dangerous.

John is also on LOWAs potentially at the same time. He’d encountered some underlings attacking a consort village. He’s decided to charge at them with no strategy at all. This was a bad idea, they are too tough even for his Telescopic Sassacrusher. He’s about to get eaten by a basilisk when a shot rings out nearby. The mystery sniper explodes the basilisk with single shots. They shoot the Copper Giclops in the eye, making it flee. But it’s taken the Telescopic Sassacrusher with it. All we see is that the stranger looks a lot like Jade’s grandpa and uses the same sort of blunderbuss. They leave the scene carrying a copy of Sassacare with them. John’s confused but relieved.

In the future WV, PM and AR are looking up peacefully at the star filled sky. PM remember a distant memory. She suddenly realizes she needs to communicate something to John right away.

PM in the present receives a mini tablet via a Parcel Pyxis with an odd carving. She identifies this as the other object that the agent was holding. The SBURB beta. She now knows she needs to get both the green package and the beta from this agent somehow.

Past AR is immediately attracted to the PM. But this doesn’t help much as AR needs permission to hand over any contraband. PM manages to convince him that the minitablet she received is official. That works and she sends it off into a Pyxis. But she still needs the package.

John meanwhile is too busy to chase off after his rescuer. The village is on fire. He attempts to use this Barbasol Bomb. But that is apparently very flammable and makes matters much worse. Fortunately a very convenient gust of wind blows out the fire. The Consorts praise John for his heroism. Even though he didn’t really do anything. While getting paraded around he hears a voice in his head. It’s PM from the future telling him to carve something on it. I can assume this is the Beta minitablet PM used to get the beta from AR.
