The Horn of Kalharis rings out a mighty sound that echos throughout the land. You wait several minutes and laugh to yourself, "I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up." Feeling a bit depressed you turn to leave the tower when you hear an odd whirling sound.

With a bump the door flys open, and a small metallic sphere floats into the room.

----

"Be not alarmed Spacefarer. I am a recon bot, sent here by the Durinian to look for life among the ruins of this Human planet. The Durinians are peaceful, and will be delighted to know I have found you. Their spacecraft have already docked, not far from here. There is a subway system the new comers left behind, just across the water outside this door. A worker bot has been dispatched to provide passage to it. My job is done, I bid you farewell."

----

The sphere zips away just as fast as it came. You step outside and look across the water. As you watch the massive wall, you see a cave appear near the water's edge. Just beginning to grasp what was said, you realize "I might just get off this rock after all!".

One things for sure. You're going to find out where that cave leads.
