Could be. Regardless of cause, I want to visit the place and see what's going on. It doesn't even need to be part of the main story. It could easily be part of a banner story or a side story like Affection and Mudfish, where they'd showcase Eden's encounter with Behemoth, Johan and Cecil's reaction, maybe Papillon finally taking advantage of the chaos to do something. If it is crystals, it's possible that they interfered with Eden's power source, camouflage, and perhaps even their communication jamming. If so, this could've been the reason for the Ark suddenly deciding to expand... it was at Burningum's behest once he obtained relevant info from Papillon.

While that's unfortunate, and I do sympathize with a rather bitter feeling of overall disappointment with this event, I'm not that concerned about Siren because in the next two story chapters in less than 3 months we'll undoubtedly see more of her, finally reuniting with SKK. Unfortunately for you, Mori will be there too. But maybe you'll change your opinion if she gets closer and more affectionate with SKK? Heck if I know what people want in terms of fanservice. I know I'm here for the main plot.

Wasn't it around 4 or 5? You'll have to point me at when this is stated. Time is kinda wonky. I get the century thing between the tower and Goddess incidents and present day but other specifics... I either forgot or SU fucked up somewhere again. But all that aside, in the Sphere story part 2 Preparing to Leave B, she talks with Mori about her companions in her bubble workshop, stating that she knows fuck all where they are. Go check it out if you don't believe me. It's these things that bother me. These inconsistencies...

Yeah, it's annoying and they started cropping up more and more recently. A thing I posted in a previous thread is just one example of this. They clearly have multiple writers doing these and they aren't on the same page at all.

Other than this event being written by some other dude with the supposed supervision of the main writer which I don't believe anymore, not really. They likely have a lot especially for the bonds and the various side stories such as the previous two banners of Bready & Crust. Baldy probably didn't write those.
