h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*A brightly-lit room with a large desk displaying a map of the Outpost and the surrounding area. Captain Joshue Knott, commanding officer at the outpost, resides here, though if a Magician of Adept level or higher is present he relinquishes control.*

*an out-of-breath soldier comes in and salutes*

[soldier] Sir, I come directly from Kalsho...Magicians on their way to our outpost were attacked by a gang of orcs and some apparently got away. We fear that other outposts such as this one may be attacked also...I come to warn you.

*the captain nods gravely*

[captain] you did well to warn us of this, soldier. We'll step up security at the entrance, make sure everything is secure...beyond that little can be done.

[soldier] Thank you sir...*looks exhausted*

[captain] Soldier, you may rest at the barracks, do so before you fall on your face and clutter up my office...*smiles wryly*

[soldier] Thank you sir! *salutes and leaves*
