Log Entry #045: The Chronos Engine's Final Warning

DATE: 73RT.05.01 | SOURCE: Chronos Engine Core Diagnostics (Fragmented)

The Chronos Engine, the central mechanism enabling our Chrono Defense network, is reaching a critical failure point. Decades of managing temporal paradoxes (Log #021), combating rogue signal amplification (Log #025), and the pervasive quantum instabilities affecting Quantum Aviator missions have pushed its core regulators beyond their designed limits.

Before a near-total system degradation, the Engine broadcasted a final, heavily fragmented warning. Decryption efforts suggest terms like "IMMINENT SCHISM," "UNRAVELING TIMESTREAM," "VOID ENTITY INTERFERENCE," and "ARCHITECT... CONSUMES... TIME..." The full message is lost, but the implications are dire. It seems a large-scale temporal event, far exceeding previous anomalies, is approaching.

Is this the culmination of Architect_Prime's Symphony (Log #043), or the intervention of the Silent Cartographers (Log #030) or other Void entities (Log #034)? Without the Chronos Engine's full capacity, our ability to predict or mitigate this threat is severely hampered. The Grid may be facing its ultimate temporal crisis.
