Chapter 6: FAQ

Captain Grayson stood at the front, leaning on his desk like the cool teacher at school, only better armed, although I guess that depends on what kind of school you went to. He waited until everyone was back from the loo before straightening up and slapping his hands together.

RIght. First things first, youll be wanting to know where you are, how you got here, and why. Thats the big one, right? So, this town youre in is called Probet. Its in a country called Flatland, because its very flat.
