• Clue Identification — Key events from the past 24 hours start to emerge from the tapes. Characters: Woo-seok, Young-eun Location: Lab security hub
• Timeline Reconstruction — They piece together the sequence of disasters that occurred. Characters: Woo-seok, Young-eun Location: Lab security hub
• Surveillance Camera Recordings — The only evidence available to investigate the missing researchers and past events. Characters: Woo-seok, Young-eun Location: Lab security hub

The Surveillance Investigation

Relying solely on security camera footage, Woo-seok and Young-eun meticulously analyze the recordings to reconstruct the timeline of the past 24 hours. They gradually uncover the sequence of catastrophic events and identify the pursuer.

Key Events

• Timeline Reconstruction — They piece together the sequence of disasters that occurred. Characters: Woo-seok, Young-eun Location: Lab security hub
• Attacker Identification — The identity or motive of the pursuer becomes clearer. Characters: Woo-seok, Young-eun Location: Lab security hub
• Catastrophe Understanding — They fully comprehend what happened over the past day. Characters: Woo-seok, Young-eun Location: Lab control room
• Prevention Strategy Formulation — They devise a plan to go back in time to stop the disaster. Characters: Woo-seok, Young-eun Location: Lab control room
• System Reconfiguration — They prepare the device for a backward temporal jump. Characters: Woo-seok, Young-eun Location: Lab control room

Temporal Correction

Having pieced together the disaster, the researchers formulate a desperate plan to reverse the time jump. They confront the attacker, execute the backward displacement, and arrive in the past to prevent the catastrophe.

Key Events

• System Reconfiguration — They prepare the device for a backward temporal jump. Characters: Woo-seok, Young-eun Location: Lab control room
• Final Confrontation — They face the unknown attacker while preparing to jump. Characters: Woo-seok, Young-eun Location: Lab corridors
• Temporal Jump Execution — They initiate the reverse jump to the past. Characters: Woo-seok, Young-eun Location: Lab chamber
• Prevention Mission — They arrive in the past to prevent the catastrophic events. Characters: Woo-seok, Young-eun Location: Deep-sea laboratory (past)
