(the protagonist looks around in the room they have never seen before)
Xiera: Roughly two and a half years ago, on A.P. 238/2/20, you embarked on an ARKS enlistment certification mission on planet Naverius.
Xiera: After that certification mission, you immediately distinguished yourself as an ARKS operative and set out on numerous adventures.
Xiera: You fought Falspawn and Dark Falz... as well as the ringleader of them all, the Profound Darkness, and achieved remarkable success!
Xiera: Yet the Profound Darkness broke free from its eternal seal, and under desperate conditions, you and [Persona] fought to the bitter end.
Xiera: As a result of this, you succeeded in liberating the girl you once protected, Matoi, from the clutches of the Profound Darkness!
Xiera: However, [Persona] fell victim to the Profound Darkness and became its host, and that's where our story picks up today.
Xiera: Wow, giving you the abridged version is wild. To think I'm in presence of greatness! Er, sorry, where was I...?
Xiera: At present, it's been about two years since the revival of the Profound Darkness.
(the protagonist is shocked to hear that)
Xiera: I understand if you're having trouble processing. For you, only a moment has passed.
Xiera: After multiple wars with the Profound Darkness, you were put into cryosleep so that you could be purified of the F-Factor.
Xiera: The battle between good and evil has raged all the while... But don't worry! ARKS is still going strong! And so is the universe!
Xiera: And now, you're back! ARKS is complete again!
Xiera: But...as is so often the case, it's not quite that simple.
Xiera: Why have you roused immediately after being purified of the F-Factor, you ask? Well, we have a request for you.
Xiera: Oh, but before I talk about that, why don't you roam around the ship for a bit, or perhaps head out and explore briefly for rehab purposes?
Xiera: I'm sure there are tons of folks who have been awaiting your return for the past two years.
