ThesereneambianceofLiyueHarborwasonceagaindisrupted,notbyaformidablefoeoranimpendingdisaster,butbyaratherpeculiarseriesofeventsinvolvingtheever-diligentAdeptus,Ganyu,andtheever-unpredictableTraveler.Itallbeganonaseeminglyordinaryday.Thesuncastawarmglowoverthebustlingport,merchantshawkedtheirwares,andthegentlerhythmofdailylifehummedalong.Ganyu,asusual,wasmeticulouslyreviewingmountainsofpaperworkinherofficeattheYuehaiPavilion.Herdedicationwaslegendary,herfocusunwavering.Eachdocument,eachpetition,eachreportwashandledwiththeutmostcareandprecision.
TheTraveler,ontheotherhand,wasengagedinaratherenthusiasticsessionof…well,let’sjustsay"exploring."TheirusualinsatiablecuriosityhadledthemdownarabbitholeofpeculiarcontraptionsandforgottencornersofLiyue.Today’sparticularfixationinvolvedaratherlarge,somewhatunwieldy,andundeniablyspring-loadedcontraptionrumoredtohavebeeninventedbyaneccentricinventorfromInazuma.Thedevice,amagnificentifslightlymenacing,metallicmonstrosity,wasdesignedtolaunch…well,things.Theexactpurposewaslosttotimeandafewunfortunateincidents,butitspotentialforenthusiasticpropulsionwasundeniable.
TheTraveler,brimmingwithamischievousglintintheireyeandaneagernesstotestthelimitsofthispeculiarinvention,decidedthatGanyu'soffice,withitsabundantsupplyof"things"(namely,paper),wouldbetheperfecttestingground.TheyhadoverheardwhispersofGanyu’simmenseworkloadand,intheirownuniqueway,thoughttheywerehelping."Perhapsabitof…organization…isinorder!"theymused,theirmindconjuringimagesofpapersbeingefficientlysortedandfiled,albeitatanalarmingvelocity.
Withadeterminedstride,theTravelerenteredtheYuehaiPavilion,thecontraptionclankingandwhirringbehindthem.Ganyu,engrossedinaparticularlycomplexfiscalreport,barelyregisteredtheirarrival.TheusualpolitegreetingswerereplacedbyaflurryofactivityastheTraveler,withagrinwiderthantheJadeChamber,beganloadingthecontraption.Theyhad,intheirinfinitewisdom,decidedthatGanyu'soverflowinginboxwastheperfect"ammunition."Theycarefully(orperhapsnotsocarefully)beganstuffingstacksofimportant-lookingdocumentsintotheloadingmechanism.

Andthen,themostextraordinarythinghappened.Thesheerforceofthecontraption’slaunch,combinedwiththeimmenseweightofthestackeddocuments,causedanunexpectedimbalance.Thedevice,insteadofpropellingthepapersforwardwithgracefulefficiency,lurchedviolentlysideways.Itwaslikearunawaytrain,butwithmorespringsandlesstrack.Ganyu,startled,instinctivelytriedtosteadyherself,butthemomentumwastoogreat.Thecontraption,withametallicgroan,tumbledforward,andinabizarretwistoffate,ensnaredtheunsuspectingAdeptus.
