The journey seems to take longer than expected, despite District Central being so close. As the AV lands and the doors are opened, the guards herd you out, and you find out why you were so long in the air. As your feet touch stony ground and the guards give you a nudge forward with their rifles, the AV takes off, sending dust everywhere. As the dust settles a distinct musty smell hits your noses and you find yourselves in the bastard child of the past and the future.
An large, older man with crew cut greying hair and a crude looking bionic eye greets you wearing a dress uniform similar to the woman who sent you here.
"Lady and gentlemen, welcome to Fort Robespierre."
You're standing in a fort courtyard. The place is a combination of original stone structure and metal fittings and cyberware. Uniformed soldiers attend to duties, performing drills and moving large crates in industrial exoskeletons. Dotted around are uniformed officers accompanying labcoats and suits as they walk from reengineered huts to crudely jury rigged walkways and original stone turrets.
"My name is Lieutenant Colonel Barker. Colonel O' Rourke is on her way to see you. Until then you will kept under close supervision."
Lt Col Barker signals to one of the soldiers, who promptly arrives with a salute. He is much taller and broader than the Lt Col, dressed in full urban camo gear, with the top of his jumpsuit loose to reveal a black vest and two fully chromed cybernetic arms.
"Sergeant Cove. I want you to take your men and accompany our... guests... down below."
Cove replies with a hearty acknowledgement, and calls over to four soldiers, also fully decked in combat gear sporting assault rifles, who jog over. Lt Col Barker signals to the guards who brought you, and they stride off out of the courtyard. Sgt Cove looks each of you over.
"Well, what an interesting bunch you are. You must be important if Colonel O' Rourke had you sent here. Come with me."
Sgt Cove starts to walk, and his me indicate for you to follow.
