[There's a sound like a rustle as the device is turned on, as if whoever has it is holding it too close to their face. The voice sounds furious.]

Stephen, I swear to fucking Christ -- if he's put you up to this I'm going to fucking kill you. Where the hell am I?

I presume that someone has informed you, by this point, that you are in Disturbia City.

...

Near. What the fuck is this? What's going on?

[successeur]

I should inform you from the beginning that I am likely not the Near you know.

[[screened | unhackable]]

[noracingstripes]

But you're still Near.

[So, more likely than anyone to know what the hell this is all about.]

True.

You are in a city known as Disturbia. You have clearly already discovered the communication device - additionally in your possession should be a wallet containing a set amount of money that will be replenished each month. The majority of your possessions are most likely missing.

I've heard all of that stuff. Near, what's going on?

I have yet to determine the exact nature of our arrival in this city, nor do I quite understand the methods by which they keep us.
