Something like that. This cavern may not lie right on the intersection between all the city's leylines, but it is still abundant in dense magical energy.
[k]

＠Danzo
It would be a tremendous asset for a Caster.
[k]

[charaFace C 5]

＠Danzo
It would also be the perfect nest for certain types of monsters.
[k]

＠Danzo
I expect the Caster who discovered this cave likely placed those things here to ward off unwelcome creatures.

Those things weren't nearly enough to take down a Master, so it makes a lotta sense if they were bein' used for pest control instead.

Oh yeah, you said that before, too. What are those?

？！

＠Sakata Kintoki
“Babbage”? Now that's a foreign[sr]name if ever I've heard one.
[k]

[charaFace B 5]

＠Sakata Kintoki
What's he like? Where's he from? Is he one of your allies from Chaldea?
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
Or is he a Caster from a foreign land, like I'm guessin'?

I am not entirely sure how to describe him, but you may think of him as a Caster.
[k]

＠Danzo
However, even if he is the same Heroic Spirit we know, he would be a completely different person now that he has been summoned to this time and place.

He is a Heroic Spirit who made a mark on humanity in the distant pas[line 2]well, considering our current time period, I suppose it would be the distant future.

And we do indeed know his name and what he looks like at Chaldea.

Huh, okay.

？！

[charaFace B 4]

＠Sakata Kintoki
Difference Engine? What's that?
[k]

？1：Basically, he's a Heroic Spirit who dreamed of a different world.

？！

Hmm.

＠Danzo
The Difference Engine would later be developed further, into the Analytical Engine.
[k]

＠Danzo
I am told it was a landmark invention that enabled people to perform calculations well beyond human capability, which in turn led to great cultural developments.
[k]

＠Danzo
Lord Babbage hoped to use it to bring about a new chapter in human history...
[k]

＠Danzo
...but that dream never came to pass.

A cruel twist of fate prevented Lord Babbage from completing the Difference Engine in his lifetime...
[k]

＠Danzo
But inspired by his ideas, humanity would go on to create devices of equal capability, which they then used to achieve other incredible things.
[k]

[charaFace C 0]

＠Danzo
Now, the Lord Babbage who has materialized as a Heroic Spirit dreams of another historical timeline.
[k]

＠Danzo
A hypothetical world where he succeeded at completing the Difference Engine.
[k]

＠Danzo
Alternatively, it may be that Lord Babbage is able to see the Pruning Theoretical Phenomenon.

[charaFace B 4]

＠Sakata Kintoki
Let's see, I think the Pruning Theoretical Phenomenon...
[k]

[charaFace B 0]

＠Sakata Kintoki

As long as human history remains human history, there will also always be tomorrows that can never become today.

＠Danzo
Thus, it is the fate of humanity that all tomorrows which will never be part of the Chronicle Theoretical Phenomenon will be pruned away.

And now, he gets summoned to time periods different from his own, while still dreamin' his old dreams, right?
