Taako, Magnus, and Merle are launched into their investigation, but they've barely had a chance to get their feet under them before the situation literally falls apart.

But whoa, what's this? It's 11:00 AM, our heroes are alive again, and Refuge definitely hasn't just been exploded. Looks like a classic time loop, friends.
