<h1>Welcome Home</h1>

<p>

|
<span class="quote speech">I smell fire.</span><br />
|
|
<span class="quote speech">We're almost there.</span><br />
|
|
Annie is slightly confused by his answer and how seemingly unfazed he is.
|
|
<br />
|
|
<span class="quote speech">Don't you want to do something about
|
|
it?</span><br />
|
|
<span class="quote speech">Fires out here aren't all bad news.
|
|
Some are, but I'm gonna guess this one's our campfire.</span>
|

</p>

|
Annie and Jack walk over a ridge, revealing a view of the small valley
|
|
beyond. The large, open bunker door is visible on the other side,
|
|
with bushes to the left and right and an open area in front of it that
|
|
connects to an old, partially overgrown street. A person is sitting
|
|
next to a fire right in front of the door, cooking over the flames.<br />
|
|
<span class="comment">Is there a word for a terrain feature like a very
|
|
small valley?</span>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
They make their way across and Jack introduces Michelle and Annie to each
|
|
other.<br />
|
|
<span class="quote speech">So you join us out here after all?</span><br />
|
|
<span class="quote speech">Yeah, things kinda went south quickly.</span>
|
|
</br />
|
|
They all sit down around the fire and Annie recounts the events of the
|
|
recent past while the meal continues cooking.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A noise in the bushes around the bunker entrance gets their attention.
|
|
Michelle tilts her head, then turns around.<br />
|
|
<span class="quote speech">Is that a dog? There's a dog here!</span>
|
|
<br />
|
|
A medium-sized, brown dog runs out, barks and then runs back into the
|
|
bushes. A moment later, it reappears, followed by a guy wearing a long,
|
|
dark green coat that has been patched a few times. He holds a long staff,
|
|
using it as a <span class="comment">Wanderstab? Cane?</span>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<span class="quote speech">Good evening!</span><br />
|
|
They greet the stranger back and Michelle and Jack invite him to stay.
|
|
<br />
|
|
<span class="quote speech">Gladly.</span> He comes closer.
|
|
<span class="quote speech">I'm James, the green wizard of
|
|
Siren's Edge.</span><br />
|
|
<span class="quote speech">Michelle, time traveller. Can you show us
|
|
some of your magic?</span><br />
|
|
<span class="quote speech">Well, currently no, my staff is broken.</span>
|
|
He swings it around and makes some funny noises.
|
|
<span class="quote speech">See? Not working.</span><br />
|
|
They all have a laugh and Annie and Jack introduce themselves in a more
|
|
normal manner. Michelle asks:<br />
|
|
<span class="quote speech">What leads you to the area?</span><br />
|
|
<span class="quote speech">I am searching for...    Dora!
|
|
C'mere, sit!</span><br />
|
|
The dog stops sniffing the pots over the fire and returns to James.<br />
|
|
<span class="quote speech">As I was saying, I am looking for pictures
|
|
from the old world like this one...</span><br />
|
|
He shows an old, crumpled photo that, while faded and discolored, still
|
|
clearly depicts a nebula and some stars.<br />
|
|
<span class="quote speech">... and maybe the means to take them.
|
|
I heard there is a quite well-preserved observatory near
|
|
Sentinel Shores.</span><br />
|
|
<span class="comment">This is a new lead for Michelle and Jack.</span>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="comment">
|
|
Michelle takes the pots off the fire and Jack gets dishes from inside
|
|
the bunker.<br />
|
|
(Some of) The food is unfamiliar to Annie.<br />
|
|
While eating, they discuss their mission.
