 In the [[place:Braufliss]] military base, Antonio, Zoé and Steve meet and are briefed as to what their exploration work will consist in, and what kind of people they should look for. Their iconoclast personalities clash with the attitude of the drill sergeant and results in Antonio getting a bit of a beating. In the [[place:Braufliss]] military base, Antonio, Zoé and Steve meet and are briefed as to what their exploration work will consist in, and what kind of people they should look for.

-After some training they are brought to one of the installations in the border of Braufliss Zone where they witness a Rigasian Timeline Gate opening and are sent through, with the reminder that the gate will only open for them to come back at daily intervals for a week.+After some training they are brought to one of the installations in the border of Braufliss [[thing:Zone]] where they witness a Rigasian [[thing:Portal]] opening and are sent through, with the reminder that the gate will only open for them to come back at daily intervals for a week.
  
 On the other side of the gate, they find themselves in a West-African plain and they commence exploration. After several hours of walking they find first a human path, then some farmland and finally a couple of travelers leading a camel with goods along the road. Despite not having any language in common they manage to join the travelers in their path. On the other side of the gate, they find themselves in a West-African plain and they commence exploration.

 Sadly most of the food stalls seem to be taking payment in the form of salt, but then a strange laughing woman calls them out and throws a small pouch of salt to them. Sadly most of the food stalls seem to be taking payment in the form of salt, but then a strange laughing woman calls them out and throws a small pouch of salt to them.
  
-As they are finishing their food, the laughing woman approaches them and tells them in heavily accented Gotthos that there's going to be war between Rigasia and Kesizma and that they should get back home as soon as possible if they don't want to be caught in the middle. This sparks a discussion between Zoé and Steve who want to return to Rigasia and earn their freedom, and Antonio, who doesn't want to ever see the inside of a rigasian prison and would rather desert and stay here. They split paths.+As they are finishing their food, the laughing woman approaches them and tells them in heavily accented Gotthos that there's going to be [[event:rigasia_kesizma_war|war between Rigasia and Kesizma]] and that they should get back home as soon as possible if they don't want to be caught in the middle.

 The next day, Antonio is woken up by the laughing woman, who again tries to convince him to go back to Rigasia, and failing that, reveals to him that she is trapped in a time loop and he needs to go back and die to prevent the world from being unmade. Antonio tries to argue and comfort the woman, but refuses to fight her and she kills him. The next day, Antonio is woken up by the laughing woman, who again tries to convince him to go back to Rigasia, and failing that, reveals to him that she is trapped in a time loop and he needs to go back and die to prevent the world from being unmade.

   * **Operator**: We'll open this way eight times, once every twenty four hours. So to come back you need to be at the same place at the same time one day during the next week. Keep track of the place and of the time because we can't keep track of your position. Usually basic exploration is completed in three days or so, but we keep this open for a full week; after that time we assume you can't come back and stop trying.   * **Operator**: We'll open this way eight times, once every twenty four hours.

 Somehow Zoé made a reference to Ariadne's Thread before Ariyadna was even mentioned in the entire campaign. It made the storyteller stop for a moment. Somehow Zoé made a reference to Ariadne's Thread before Ariyadna was even mentioned in the entire campaign. It made the storyteller stop for a moment.

 +Antonio tended to swear in his native language a lot, represented here by spanish. Only… the actual spanish swearword is "puta" (whore), not "punta" (point).
