She explains that on 238 at 2/20 you were enlisted as ARKS to go on your first Naberius mission. Where you follow her to a 'bridge' looking area with many hovering screens, a view of space outside, and room to meet but no table or chairs other than her small, hovering seat. She wears the earphones & head mic of an operator. Xiera is a female either human or cast (you can’t see her ears, but she has low ear-muff things so newman is ruled out as they wouldn’t fit in there) with yellow hair in high twintails, a tiny purple hat, and mostly mauve themed clothes. Though you were just awakened, Xiera will fill you in on the current situation. She says that it's happened a lot, they got contact from the med unit over it. You clearly 'ask' something with a head tilt, so she asks if your memories are mixed up. She asks if you feel strange, or have signs of darker factor, but you are all right. You walk up to her, and she introduces herself as “Xiera the personal operator”. Your character is wearing either what you chose at charcreate, or whatever you had on last when you selected ‘episode 4’. Xiera calls to you, and says good morning. There are other pods in the area, each marked “closed” while yours is marked “open”. In a metal high tech 'pod' thing, your character is revealed and steps out among a cloud of white mist. So, your character has been in that pod thing the entire time. This opening date is meant to be a surprise because it is TWO years after the last event / story panel that you were able to experience. Note: If you are new, you have the opportunity to go back and do 1 thru 3 before moving on to 4, to play the whole game in sequence. If you are NEW (a new character) she will explain that “you did this great stuff in the past” & if you are continuing on, you get something similar where “you had these great adventures and succeeded”. There’s no more “well you joined the ARKS…here’s Afin…etc”, it’s ALWAYS “you get out of a cryo sleep pod and now Xierra is here to explain things to you. The opening of the game is now made consistent with the Episode 4 opening. It prattles on all the way through Story Guide 16 if you are looking to bypass it. It's almost like a non-cannon side-story & it is FULL OF NONSENSE & really pretty dull. Nothing relevent to the other 3 episodes before it NOR after it happens here. This episode is VERY NEARLY completely skippable.
