Our main goal was actually very simple.
Get to America to fully place all suspicions and blame on them, thus allowing the Chinese Federation to lurk in the shadows while hiding their full strength for a while longer as they wait for the perfect opportunity for a grand reveal.
And of course, to get there in one piece. We need to avoid the many traps and capture attempts set by the Europeans who were hot on our heels and coming for us from every single direction.
It was an elaborate story being told to the Europeans by our furtive actions and seemingly desperate attempt to get back "home".
To do that, Chronos was leading us at extremely high speeds underwater using his time dilation skill while Void Walker shielded us with her void shield.
