# Go to the Resonant Portal at 10.6S, 17.1E to access [[Mar'uun]] , which will be in a destroyed state. Merely entering the portal is all that is required for the use of the randomly spawning Resonant portals.
#* Route: [[Al-Arqas]] to [[Al-Nosaj]] settlement portal at 33.5S, 13.1E. Alternatively, run from [[Samsur]]
# {{optional}} While in the destroyed [[Mar'uun]], collect the [[Scrap of Paper (Mar'uun)|Scrap of Paper]]. It is located where [[Kaywin]] was, in the area behind the researchers next to the [[Stabilizing Machine]]s. To reach it, go to the portal research area, climb the stairs to the west and find a hole on the wooden floor. Jump down and pick up the Scrap of Paper. This will be worth experience in day 3 or 4, so hang on to it.

=== Day 1 ===
This portion takes place during [[Coldeve, 20 PY]] (February 2009, [[Unfinished Business]]) when Mar'uun was first introduced. Marcus and Wren are conducting the original experiments. The Virindi Jean and Luc are not present, neither is Kaywin the machinist.

#* Known locations include the western Direlands (i.e. Ayan, Lethe areas).
# Use the portal to travel to Mar'uun in the past.
# Proceed to the portal space research area north of the main loop and across the bridge. Speak with [[Wren the Curious]] and [[Marcus Manfried]]. During your interactions with Marcus, you are presented with the option to reveal to him about the arrival of Jean and Luc via a Yes/No Dialog Box.
# After making your choice, you will be told to come back in a day's time.
# {{optional}} The Test Portal can be used for 1 million experience if you didn't do so prior to Mar'uun's destruction. The Test Portal sends you to the wooden platform above it, but in the present day destroyed Mar'uun. Make sure you do everything you want in this version of Mar'uun before you do this.

=== Day 2 ===
This portion takes place during [[Wintersebb, 20 PY]] (March 2009, [[Who Watches the Virindi?]]). Marcus is next to the Enhanced Test Portal, which is unstable, and Wren has moved to the back room. The Virindi Jean and Luc are now present, but Kaywin is not.
