There isn't much fanfare in this posting, even with the official notice on the top. Actually, there's something almost stark in its simplicity. Just basic text and a blinking cursor on a black background, that slowly loads up into a full message:

Local and guest alike.

Several months ago the city experienced a disruption in the form of a transmission hacking of an official feed; as many of you reading this are aware. We have since been reviewing the data and running decryption on the hijacking's interference, and have come to a conclusion on a location of the signal.

It is outside of the city walls, which now makes it necessary for us to enlist the help of those called to the city.

Be advised that the person is an unknown factor, and likely to be dangerous. In addition, the environment outside is hazardous as well, and should be approached with caution. Because of this risk, volunteers will be rewarded for their efforts. They will also be the first on the scene with uncovering answers that we all doubtless wish to discover.

Representatives from their respective departments will be available to answer questions, and impart necessary information. Given the nature of this task, there may be additional requests granted. However, they are only requests. The first and major goal in this is gathering information.

Fare you well, and may the Twins guard you while afield.

(ooc: There will be NPCs willing to answer questions watching this entry. However, some NPC responses may be slow due to time differences.)

[She was... afraid of that. Kinda like the stories of the other districts, then. She's also a little wary because this is anonymous and that's suspicious.]

Buddy system. Right.

Who or what exactly are we supposed to be looking for? You got a description for us?

[~~more like they don't have an account like the rest of you new arrivals.~~]

I'm afraid not. Aside from location, we have yet to match the distorted voice to any within the city police database. What we do know is that they used highly advanced technology in order to do so - more so than what we use in our day-to-day experiments.

Fine. Where outside the city is this thing or person you want? Got a map or something similar?

We will be giving out maps and basic safety guidelines at the gates on he 26th. The location will be marked for your convenience.

Right. I'll be there. No time limit?

[And then she'll screw them over and keep what she finds for herself. Yeah, what a plan.]

The time limit is how long you are capable of withstanding the effects of the energy drain.

I feel it necessary to point out that any other items that you locate and wish to take for yourself, you may keep.

[was that a warning or is someone reading her mind? 8| BECAUSE THAT IS SERIOUSLY SUSPICIOUS...]

Just going to let us keep whatever, as long as we bring back what you want?

[Just a simple warning. Who knows if they brought in a few thieves or not?]

Precisely.

Fine.

And what are these "additional requests"?

We'll have more complete information to give in person at the meeting point. I'm but the head of one organization, and I do not know all of the requests the others may have.
