Terry isn't an infrequent sight in the Nexus. He often uses it to travel between point A and point B. It's cheaper than airfare, after all.
He walks by, his gym bag over his shoulder, giving a nod or a wave to the few people he knows, on his way to a portal that, in his experience, should take him to a alley in the Jung-gu district of Seoul.
If it takes him there today, it is not the Seoul he is accustomed to, because he backs out of the portal a few seconds later, drops his bag, and puts up his fists.
There's a blur of motion, Terry's right fist shoots out, and with a harsh crack, a velociraptor falls unconscious onto the floor.
Terry pokes it with the toe of his boot, chuckles, and turns around. "Hey, anyone happen to know a museum that could--"
Something else pokes its nose through the portal behind him. It is very large and looks hungry.
"--okay," Terry says, catching a bystander's horrified look. "What's behind me?"
