Sounds like you may be referring to the letters of the mysterious Letter Writer(Spoilers). In that case, you're looking for the Ouroboros Task Forces and Dean MacArthur/Jenny Adair.
No this was before the Oro missions. I think it was around the Path of the Dark or the Hammer storyline a while back.
It's in the final patron arc, Time After Time. I'm not sure it's in all of them, though (since each patron sends you to a slightly different time frame). I think it's in Black Scorpion's, but don't recall for sure.
Edit: Also, note that Time After Time cannot be done in Ouroboros last I checked, but you can probably get the info from Paragon Wiki.

You're thinking of Time After Time, the end of the Arachnos Patron arc chain. Specifically, you're looking for the Ghost Widow version, I believe, as that one sends you the farthest forward in time that I've seen.

Wiki'd it myself, here we go:
From Ghost Widow's arc:
Quote:
And from Scirocco's:|
You found this hand-carved plaque on a pile of rubble in the strange future Arachnos sent you to. It reads: 'This marks the spot on which the final battle occurred. After the Arachnos war, the second Rikti war, the Council War, the Nemesis War, the Rikti Civil War, and the final Arachnos War, here did the Destined One and Lord Recluse fight their final battle. With their death, the wars ended, but the world had already passed away. All that is left to this world is chaos and we, the isolated scraps of humanity. We have no home, no community, no pleasure, and no peace. As for hope, it exists only in memory.' The date on the plaque is for 15 years from when you left. And buried beneath the rubble below the plaque, you can see the wrecked form of one of Lord Recluse's armored spider-arms, still clutched in the grasp of your own skeletal hand |

'Scirocco told me you'd arrive around now. It's ironic, but now we few members of the Circle are the last living things here, in our stolen bodies. Soon even those will die, and all life will pass from this world. It all went wrong shortly after Statesman fell to Lord Recluse. Recluse had tried so hard to make it happen, that he hadn't realized that many people had begun to look at you as the most poweful villain in the organization. While the heroes were divided and leaderless, Recluse tried to do away with you. I suppose this is what happens when he failed. Arachnos split. Scirocco tried to calm the fighting, and was killed by Ice Mistral. She was killed by Ghost Widow, and then chaos erupted as Arachnos fought a deadly civil war. Then the Council attempted a power play, and Nemesis moved to counter them. The heroes split into factions as they tried to handle the situation in different ways. Soon everyone was fighting. When the Rikti tried to strike, even they soon fell into a brutal civil was that still rages on their world. And now, all that's left here are the restless dead. But there might be a way to keep this from happening. We must find Dr. Aeon. He's been trying to find a way to stop this all from happening, but I think the pressure's getting to him. Still, I am certain you can get some information from him that just might keep the world from dying.' |

You never thought you'd see Silver Mantis get emotional, but she was happy to see you, and nearly broke down as she told you what happened: "Ernesto, I mean Black Scorpion told me you'd show up here and now. Welcome to the end of the world. All that's left are the dead and the machines. After you helped Lord Recluse make the future he wanted come true, many in Arachnos saw you as their true leader. Soon, Arachnos was ripping itself apart. Scorpion joined your side, and I went with him. We thought that with the heroes leaderless, we would have time to settle the conflict, but then Nemesis made a bid for world conquest, and The Center moved the Council to counter him. The heroes broke into factions over how best to fight us all, and the wars didn't stop. Group after group was caught up in the calamity, even the Rikti weren't immune. Their seond invasion turned into a genocidal civil war. Now their world is even deader than this one. In the end, all that's left are the intelligent machines, their human slaves, and the surviving Rikti refugees. Even Ernesto is dead... The whole world is gone... But Ernesto told me that I could show you how it might be undone. We have to find Dr. Aeon! He plans to go back in time and kill you, but that won't work. Recluse will just find another "Destined One". However, Aeon has planned out all the junction points! If you can get that from him, maybe then you'll know how to keep this from happening. If a future must die, I'd rather it was this one. Ernesto and I loved each other, in our own way, but I could not understand that until he was gone. I would prefer not to live with that pain." |
Thanks Lazarillo and Sam. This was drivin me nuts.
