"He can see you somehow and he wants to know who you are." Alexis clarifies what he said. "I can understand THAT, at least."
"Hm. I'm a traveler. I simply want to know more about the town." With this, Alexis gibbers something into the camera. There doesn't seem to be any further need for translation since...
"Ah. American." You have no idea what America is. "This is Yele, territory of great Soviet Union. We are simply here to live a good life. It is the pinnacle of perfection, you see."
"It seems you do not know of that, however."
Alexis, while not really used to the anomalous, is rolling with this bizarre conversation well enough. "It has been over 300 years, sir. We are here to help those who still wander this old town."
"Ah. Seems like the Americans won, huh." The Military Man doesn't even sound disappointed at this information. It's as if he expected to hear this. "Or what's left of it. Since you are from Soviet territories and one of you has <span class="mu-g">a military medal</span>, I suppose you deserve to know." He points at you and Alexis
"We were an industrial powerhouse. Still are, you see. Our town by itself was enough to produce 0.5% of our Union's GDP!" The Military Man sprouts a wild smile to the absolute bewilderment of the passersby, who just see him talking at thin air. "<span class="mu-b">Sector Antlia</span> is where we produce most of our amazing products, including the first automatons!"
So that's what the Industrial Warehouse's name is, you assume.
"Do you mind telling us a bit about these automatons and the warehouse? We may have to deal with...American spies that are using them." Alexis bluffs, though there's probably a hint of truth to the 'spy' part at least. Damn spooks.
"Hmmm. Damn <span class="mu-b">men in black</span>, huh? Simple enough. Most should have a deactivation phrase of <span class="mu-g">Tихий Бeлый</span>. Though you should be able to outrun them, their wheels are not meant to travel the snowy streets! As for the warehouse, it will likely be locked. <span class="mu-b">In case you have to sneak in, look for a green flower.</span>" Huh?
"What, are they just meant to hang around in shops?"
The Military Man points towards the Cafe you were at moments ago. You can make out that instead of regular human workers, it's operated by a few very basic automatons.
"Ah! Seems your connection is weakening. <span class="mu-b">Just a heads up, our Clock Tower and Bank has a Time Capsule in it. May you enjoy our spoils, if the automatons guarding them have powered off-</span>"
The footage starts turning grainy. You reach your hand at the screen and for a moment, you feel your hand phasing into the screen.
When you pull it back out, the PARADIGM turns off and you're left with something. Another military medal, like the one you got from X-Corp, but way older and made out of solid gold. Old Russian is scribbled down on it but Alexis tells you what it translates to...
