Speak with Lou, defeat the Tainted Scout, and then the One-Armed Hero Lyle to obtain Lyle’s fading bond and start the Timeline Shift Decision Lyle quest.
How to Activate Lyle’s Fading Bond
When you first interact with Lyle’s fading bond, Lou will tell you that the bond is not strong enough. Go to MagMell Island, enter 2197 Free Exploration Era, and head to Forward Base One to find Lyle.

Interact with Lyle and learn about the grave. Return to the present and travel to the same location in Forward Base One to find the grave.

Collect Lyle’s Rusted Sword and notice that you can now activate Lyle’s fading bond and save Lyle.
