Everyone, please exercise caution. We've seen how tricky the Animus can be.

Hey there, you look like you know what's goin' on here. Care to let me know where we got dropped off in? And who those Animus are that you were talkin' about?

You're in a place called Adstringendum. Or, really -- the Wastelands outside of it. May I ask who you are?

I'm Russell Kline, what's your name? I guess you're in that city on the other side of the wall, hm?

I take it the citizens of your city are just as confused as ours.

Yeah pretty much. First that explosion last night and now the city went and moved. Not the sort of thing you wake up expectin', even in Veles.

Well, I hope everyone there knows we mean you no harm. The spirits that control this place -- the Animus -- like to toy with us sometimes. It seems like your city being brought here may be part of that.

I'll let the rest of the Gatewalkers know at least. Can't say I can do anything about the Natives, they might be eager to leave once they find out there's a city out there where there wasn't anything before.
