Baby materializes after temporal distortion
Ruth and Hyde manipulate the TOM-TIT device to stabilize a rupture in time after Benton collapses from temporal overload. Their empirical adjustments fail to reset the soldiers, who remain frozen in place, but the experiment triggers another unintended consequence. A newborn infant materializes from the fractured timeline, its arrival underscoring the uncontrollable chaos unleashed by Kronos’s interference and Ruth’s desperate attempts to repair the damage. The moment forces both scientists to confront the horror of time’s instability and the unpredictable cost of their intervention.
