As he arrived closer to the city's edge, one of the many towers was close enough to see into. The top floor had several men armed with strange weapons that looked like crossbows, but more metallic and with interesting glowing modules along their sides. They also wore armor that didn't seem familiar to him at all. As he got closer, they all looked down at him cautiously.

	The bottom of the tower was surrounded by vehicles, unlike any that Jeff had seen before, and one of them drove right up to his side and halted his progress.

	"Hey! Where do you think you're goin'?" A man said from the drivers side window of the SUV-looking vehicle.
