On the other hand, I was overjoyed to see that us being masked caused no issues. We were told that we could remain anonymous if we were accepted as Phenom and his Heralds, but it's good to see actual signs that it's not just fancy words but the actual truth.
As we stepped past the gate, the full scope of the outpost came into view. It was much larger than I'd initially thought, a sprawling collection of buildings that stretched far beyond the fields of psychedelic plants. The outpost was designed like a small, self-contained town, with narrow dirt roads cutting through rows of structures, each with its own purpose. There was no sign of civilians here- only Consortium workers, guards, and the like.
