Sanctuary Pyre always made Sal feel nostalgic. Maybe it was because it was the sanctuary that for some reason, most reminded him of the Fallout series (franchise he played in his childhood a lot). Or maybe it was just because he spent more time here then any other sanctuary. Then again, it could be both. In the end, it didn't really matter. All that it meant was that entering Pyre always felt like coming home, a feeling that conflicted with the feeling of having been recruited to save everyone still trapped in the game. '[i][color=9e0b0f]Still...it's not like I can say no. We all need to get out of this game. I don't know if muscle atrophy can kill you, but I'd rather not find out in here.[/color][/i]'

Upon reaching the gates, Sal found an unwelcome surprise; the gate guard knew about them. More specifically; he knew about the U.N's involvement. '[i][color=9e0b0f]I really hope that isn't well known in here. Even if Revelation doesn't have a foothold here, they could still have spies[/color][/i]. As he worried about the possibility of information leaking to the enemy, other thoughts came to mind '[i][color=9e0b0f]now that I think about it; just how are these people connected to the U.N? Were they recruited like us? It's either that, or the U.N found a way to get new people into the game without Revelation knowing[/color][/i]' A sudden thought lit up in his mind '[color=9e0b0f]can...[i]new people enter the game? I always assumed they couldn't, but I don't remember anyone ever saying it was impossible. This bares further thought[/i][/color]' Sal snorted as he remembered something '[i][color=9e0b0f]Although I think I remember the message saying they sent word to someone named Minxy. But still...why her?[/color][/i]'

As they entered Pyre proper, Sal soon found out that the gate guard from before was actually the Commander. Unsure of what to make of that, he remained quiet as he brought them to the player mentioned in the message; Minx. When she offered to let them ask questions, Sal took the opportunity to do just that "[color=9e0b0f]I have a question; how exactly are you affiliated with the U.N? There weren't a lot of details in the message we received; only that the U.N had gotten 'in contact' with you. You'll have to forgive me if slightly suspicious that the U.N was able to find enough players in the game to establish a presence.[/color]"
