Chixia: Alrighty. What should we do next?

Archni: How about we take this one step of a time. We just arrived here.

Baizhi: I am to return to the Academy. The anomalies at the Gorges of Spirits, the resurgence of that Tacet Field, and the many Waveworn Phenomena occurrences... I should report them in time.

Yangyang: Then I'll go submit our report, and prepare the documentation needed for Rover's audience with the Magistrate while I'm there.

Archni: Alright. What about me?

Chixia: Then I guess I'll take Rover over to the Nexus Tower for registration first, and we'll just hang out for a while. Being new to Jinzhou and all, he can't be left standing outside the City Hall with nothing to do. Hospitality is our local speciality, you know!

Yangyang: Then I'll leave you in Chixia's care, Rover. Is that alright with you? I'll give you a call once the paperwork is done.

Chixia: Leave it to me!

Baizhi: I'll send the Branch of Resonmedical Science a notice. We need to conduct a throughout physical examination on you to make sure you are fine. Come visit the Academy after your audience if you have no other plans.

Archni: Okay.

Chixia: We've got loads of fun in Jinzhou! We can go watch Liondances, Hero Plays, Stand-up Shows, and then maybe the Martial Championships... Plus tons of different treats to try out. You think it, we have it.

"Let's go. Yangyang, Baizhi see you later." Archni says as Chixia began taking him around the city, which they reached the Nexus tower. "Here we are. Jinzhou's Nexus Tower!"

Archni: The nexus tower?

Chixia: Exactly. Lemme see, uh, think of it as Jinzhou's largest server station, or an integration hub. It's something along those lines. I'm not much of a tech person myself. Long story short, it's a navigator, a defense system, and a regional information center all in one enormous package.

The smaller ones we ran into earlier are Resonance Beacons. Data is shared between all Beacons. You activate one including the towers, and the entire map's data will be relayed to your Terminal. Pretty nifty, huh? Just place your Terminal here.

Archni place his gourd on a port for it to connect, as the tower activates for him and data was transmitted to his gourd. Then a call came which Archni attempts to figure on picking up the call on his gourd. "How do I... ah! Got it!"

Upon managing to accept the call, he hears Yangyang's voice. "I have the arrangements in place. Rover, you can come visit the Magistrate at any time. Chixia, do you mind bringing Rover over to the City Hall?"

The two made their way to outside city hall and they meet up with Yangyang. Seeing that there's a lot of people there Chixia couldn't help to say it. "Whew. First time seeing such a crowd in front of the City Hall."

Yangyang: I was surprised too. I've never seen so many non-staff personnel here before.

Archni: Are they all here for an audience with the Magistrate?

Yangyang: Most of the people here have applied for an audience, but I heard they've all been turned down.

Archni: Turned down by who?

Yangyang: Most people were advised to leave by the Magistrate's bodyguard upon sending in their applications. The ones staying here are either trying to apply for some other people, or just too stubborn to leave. The few that made it inside said it only took "one freezing look from Lady Sanhua", and they were compelled to leave.
