Even in the dead of night, there was something about this place, this place that was supposedly Seatrailia...the drones, for one thing. 

     And then there were the screens. They were all over the city, on every block. They hung from the sides of buildings. Some billboards were nothing but gigantic screens. 

     "I don't think we're in our own future or anything," Niki said. "The Azure have never sent us through time before. I'm not sure they can." 

     "Then what are these screens all about?"

​     "Good question."

     The screens all showed the same image. 

     It was the image of a mechanical man. More man than mechanical, although Trevor saw no flesh anywhere on the man's body, only metal and gears and circuitry.

     The screen that overlooked Puget Bay was easily double the size of any Trevor had ever seen. They could just barely hear the mechanical man's voice from where they hovered hundreds of feet away. 

     "Want to listen to what he's got to say?" Trevor asked. "We might get some clue as to what's going on." 

     "The sooner we find Adam Forwarder, the better."

​     "Five minutes."
