'''Chronopolis''' is the time research installation created by [[Belthasar]] in 2300 AD and responsible for the execution of ''[[Project Kid]]''. It was founded after the Guru of Reason came in to the future from the [[Ocean Palace]] incident with the [[Time Research Lab]]. His motives unknown, Belthasar sought to create a new temporal institute, and sought funding from the Central Regime; he managed to convince them to establish the project under the guise of a military research facility. He then located the area in [[El Nido]] due to the strange gravitational field there (probably caused by the [[Frozen Flame]]). The Flame itself powered the new building, and was stationed in the basement where a huge, power-extracting and analyzing engine made several connections with it. To officiate and regulate the facility, a somewhat sentient supercomputer known as [[FATE]] was constructed out of existing [[Mother Brain]] circuitry; like the other systems, it drew power directly from the Frozen Flame. FATE was equipped with a huge repository of historical knowledge dating back to prehistory, allowing it unparalleled computing power. Above the ground level, which included a lobby, janitorial system, and admissions desk, four floors were constructed to house various experiments on physics and other fields of science, such as biology. To conduct these ventures, the scientists were given state of the art imaging tools and other apparatuses. For defense, automated robots were set to patrol the corridors, and a crew of fighter jets stood ready for air superiority. Lastly, the facility's location allowed it to be hidden from public view; this required due to the secrecy and importance of Chronopolis's work. | '''Chronopolis''' is the time research installation created by [[Belthasar]] in 2300 AD and responsible for the execution of ''[[Project Kid]]''.

When [[Home World]] split off, the conditions of its future were shaped so that it would end in obliteration by [[Lavos]], a reversal of [[Crono]]'s quest to stop the beast. This resulted in Home World's Sea of Eden reflecting the ruined future; Chronopolis never existed in Home World, replaced by this vision of destruction. The Frozen Flame of Home World was duplicated and survived, however; to protect it, FATE somehow released and dispatched Miguel across the dimensions. FATE then predicted that in 1020 A.D., Serge would attempt to cross the dimensions to reach [[Another World]]. Capitalizing on this knowledge, FATE sent Lynx to manipulate [[Porre]] and the [[Acacia Dragoons]] in an elaborate plan to have [[Lynx]] switch bodies with Serge via the [[Dragon Tear]]. Lynx would then be able to enter the Frozen Flame chamber and restore access. Though Serge evaded Lynx in their first meeting, Lynx was able to complete the ceremony, and subsequently entered the chamber and imprisoned the Prometheus Circuit. Days later, Serge arrived in Chronopolis himself, having obtained the six [[Dragon Relics]]. He found the ghost workers to be perpetually repeating the actions of their lives before the Counter-Time Experiment; he also located [[Grobyc]]'s ''StrongArm'' technique. As he explored the laboratories, information concerning Lavos, human evolution, and time travel was related to him; he also found a new room built to compare and service either dimension. Serge then made his way to the Frozen Flame chamber; there, Lynx confronted him and had FATE dispatch the Prometheus Circuit. | When [[Home World]] split off, the conditions of its future were shaped so that it would end in obliteration by [[Lavos]], a reversal of [[Crono]]'s quest to stop the beast.

Lynx then allowed himself to be reformed as another avatar of FATE, intended to battle Serge. This cybernetic form seemed to rise out of the ground; though it proved formidable in combat, Serge defeated it as well, effectively killing FATE. This left Chronopolis utterly defenseless; the Dragon God immediately swooped in and stole the Frozen Flame. The ghost workers vanished into thin air, though Chronopolis's electrical systems still functioned. Without FATE, however, the facility was simply a random assortment of futuristic tools and data. It served one more function, however, as its dock allowed Serge to outfit [[Korcha]]'s Boat with the anti-gravity device provided by Starky. After this event, Chronopolis fell dormant, aside from the robot patrollers who continued to defend an empty institution. It is unknown if it continued to exist after the Unification of Dimensions. | Lynx then allowed himself to be reformed as another avatar of FATE, intended to battle Serge.
