Twilight's Son is from the future. In the future, he is the last Kheldian. Or so they say.

You may want to re-read that. Especially the colored, bolded part.

TS was going to has been the Last Kheldian. I think. I may have the tense a little wrong.
According to the Mysterious Letter Writer, he's also a bit of a jerk

Ah touche, I copied it over from the 'description' section on paragon wiki while half-paying attention but I just found the actual dialog.

Now that I know he meant to say that in the future he will be the last kheldian it makes a little more sense, but still. |
There you are. Mender Lazarus has told me so much about you, I feel I should tell you a little about myself. I am the last Kheldian. For you, I'm sure this is hard to believe, but there is a storm coming. More destructive than any before it. This galaxy holds a threat that is far superior to the Rikti race. This threat is the one that rounded up my kind to fuel their battle fleets as living energy cells. I was the only one to escape, and Mender Silos gave me a chance to change things here and now. This is the time to make a difference, and a difference I will make. One of the key elements to this great cataclysm is the Rikti War that is currently occurring. I need you to infiltrate one of their bases and defeat one of their war generals named Loc'Danan. I will then slip forward in time and see if his defeat has had a desired effect. You may even meet an old friend in the caves to assist you. |
And then there was..Quote:

Mission Objective(s) You have no idea how the Rikti are involved, but hopefully defeating this General can help Twilight's Son's race. |
You have been included. In starship fuel tanks.
How does it feel to be the solution to the energy crisis?

WARNING: I bold names.
Thing is, it's all very disconnected from the supposed events.
Picture it this way; my Warshade speaks to Twilight's Son who informs her that, at some point in the distant future, her entire race will be enslaved. This seems bad. "What can I do to help?" she asks. "Well if you could just run a series of tedious errands for me that have no recognisable link to any of the stuff I've just told you, that would be great". At this point she's likely to say "Screw this, I'm off to abuse some more Roman corpses".

Yeah, I'd sure like to know how the Rikti are connected. It's almost a non sequitur. The only connection I can think of is the fact that the Rikti repelled their reality's version of the Battalion from their world millennia ago.

It could be any number of things, especially being asked to assassinate a specific general. They defeat someone who otherwise has a key to changing something that will slow or stop the invasion, or it pushes another event forward (or back,) or the general is one of those that still wants to eradicate Humanity instead of making peace when peace is what unlocks tech to humanity...
Pebbles, ripples, all that.

Twilight's Son is a prime candidate for a little context sensitve dialogue upgrade. It would be great if he had even justa few little bits of different dialogue when talking to a Kheld.

The engineer, McQuillin, sent the word up to the mate.
"Our engine's out of steam," he said, "And soon our ship must die,
If we can't find a planet with fuel to feed the drive."
Now, our ship's a noble lady, and our captain, she is, too.
But our engineer is none too bright, the dimwit of our crew.
The captain said, "I thought you filled the tanks on Vega Five."
McQuillin just looked sheepish, he forgot to feed the drive.
Can curses stir the gods of space, who dwell beyond the stars?
If so, they surely woke up then, for we used up most of ours.
We thought we'd drift forever, lost between the stars we'd die
And all because Mcquillin bought no fuel to feed the drive.
But then the captain's eyes grew bright. She said, "It seems to me
That a fusion drive burns H20." McQuillin turned to flee.
"Grab him, boys, and hold him, he's no good to us alive,
But two hundred pounds of water will feed our dying drive."
So, once again, we fly through space, avoiding all the stars.
Who knows what ruin may take us, and what evil fate is ours?
We didn't find our planet, but we'll all but one survive,
As long as we are granted some fool to feed the drive.
("Fool to Feed the Drive, lyrics ©1982 by Jordin Kare, 'Fuel to Feed the Drive' melody ©1982 by Cynthia McQuillin)
"But in our enthusiasm, we could not resist a radical overhaul of the system, in which all of its major weaknesses have been exposed, analyzed, and replaced with new weaknesses."

I think it should be "is going to have been" in the past future perfect tense.

I believe it is "fail"
It is indeed, since I do speak leet. Don't ask me how... one day I just simply read a sentence in leet and understood it without any prior experience.
