This is when Niyr would turn to Hedroc, and simply say "I was thinking of that exact thing."
With Hedroc now confused, as he was almost certainly not thinking of what Niyr was thinking of at that exact time, Niyr would turn to look at the sky, and ask the same exact question Hedroc did. What is a Waxing Inverse-Gibbous? Is it a Waning Gibbous, or is it a Waxing Crescent? Or is it some inverted light situation as Hedroc used?
Confused? What!? Hedroc is never confused! Hedroc is always totally on top of things. Constantly. Nothing goes over his head. Especially not the MOON!
...
I just read that out loud. But it doesn't disprove my point! Hedroc is the model of mental prowess and fortitude. He is the peak of intellectual achievement. And he is- eating his own tongue...
You know what, you might have a point.

Hedroc slurps up another +1 before anyone else can prod him with their tasty snacks. Hedroc's on a DIET. He doesn't need all these calories!
"Then why is he eating his own +1?" you ask? Look- dieting, it's hard! You try going without food for weeks on end and tell me how you feel. Dead, that's how you feel. Hedroc doesn't want to float down that path. Doesn't even wanna try. He'll chew this 1 up slowly. That way, he won't be tempted to stuff another in his mouth. See! Strategy. The best replacement for an actual diet.
Ignoreous Rock: [20/25]
See, Hedroc had this meal planning kit full of +1's, but since he's dieting, and Hedroc is too lazy to cancel the order, he's started having them shipped all over the place. For instance, this turn, he had sent to... wherever Ian is. Because Hedroc can't be bothered to pay attention. The PEAK of INTELLECTUAL ACHIEVEMENT!

On to the action! What's the weather like today...?
Upside-Down? Like, Stranger Things Upside Down? Like, ethereal mist, dark sky, plant monsters hiding around every corner waiting to eat people weather? Or, like, there's rain, but it's falling upward. Or, the [GRAVITATIONAL BODY] has been flipped upside down compared to Player perspective? OR-
Wait a sec. It's High Tide. But the weather's upside down. So, for the tide to reach the "high" line, it would have to be taking up- like- the whole sky. That would explain the humidity at least. So... is the sky in the oceans, then?
But what about the fauna and flora reports? Lily Pads and Tadpoles? How does that work?
...
I guess, if the high tide is a line that represents water reaching quite far above the shore, then the water air would be suspended just slightly above the shore at that line. We must be in someplace like St. Louis, making it so the ground level is just a bit below high tide's maximum height. That way, Tadpoles and Lily-Pads would be floating inverted in the air, effectively at your feet, but just above the ground.
What else, what else? -3 Moons!? Well, duh. Space is filled with water. Those three moons must be inside of the [GRAVITATIONAL BODY] as opposed to the sky. How they are orbiting it from within is a... question, but since the sky is effectively inverted, I'd say it makes enough sense.
And the time... Uh... 3 hours from now? Um... See, if the time is three hours from now, that means we are three time zones to the east of where K.A.T.E. is, right? Which seems quite strange, all things considered, but not everything has to be connected to the fact that the sky got swapped with the ocean.
Now, what about this is an action? Excellent question. And I will answer it... eventually.
But first, we need to consider something else. What if the above is wrong? What if, instead, the whole [GRAVITATIONAL BODY] just turned inside out? Then, every point would be, quite literally, upside-down from their initial positions.
See, this is another good guess as to the cause of the weather, but it doesn't exactly explain the high tide. At least, it doesn't at first. But consider, what if the weather was supposed to be three moons? Now we are at negative three moons. What if, in the process of the world turning inside out, the moons crashed into the inverted oceans?
THAT would create massive tidal shifts which could potentially submerge much of, if not ALL of the nearby area. This would explain the 99% humidity and the fact that K.A.T.E. is underwater.
What else does this explain? Well, the tadpoles and lily pads, for one. We have no idea where we are geographically. Especially since we're IN A CAVE. Therefore, it isn't much of a stretch to assume we are near a pond or some type of swamp. When that overflowed from the humongous tidal waves caused by the crashing moons, the lily pads and frogs could have been washed much closer to the cave then it was beforehand.
And the time. Easy. Time-zones are overlapping. See, time-zones are generally defined by big lines drawn across the globe. But when the globe folds in on itself, we must ask the question: Where does the air of one time zone end and another begin? This conundrum has clearly caused the local government to declare some amount of overlap between zones creating this three hour conundrum.
Another GREAT solution to the weather, if I do say so myself. Now we can act, right?
WRONG. There's MORE. What if there was just a big wave, K.A.T.E. got flipped upside down, it short circuited and screwed up the time, and now there are tadpoles because nearby lake.
Simple, right? Yeah, I guess. But it's not NEARLY as fun, is it? No, it's not.
Okay, now we can get to the point. We have three options as to how this weather came to be.
1. Water and Air was reversed during a high-tide scenario, creating an air pocket at your feet.
2. The whole world was turned inside-out, and the resulting meteoric moons caused mass flooding.
3. K.A.T.E. is upside-down and confused due to high tide flooding.
Now, only one can be right. Or can it?
Hedroc prods the AG Paradoxical Intrusion with the weather. Energy flows from the Intrusion into Hedroc, who belches out all three Weather Systems, causing them all to paradoxically coexist at once. This drains the Paradox Energy from the Intrusion, effectively damaging it.
Yup, all that just to damage the Intrusion. This is what I do with my free time.
tl;dr: Um, just skip to the "Okay, now we can get to the point." That's the whole thing.
