Zack walked around the fountain a bit, looking into the distance at the far off gates as well as observing some of the people milling about this area. At first, he was confused because everyone looked so different that he couldn't quite get a feel for the culture of this place. After a second, he realized that was because he wasn't the only one to arrive in such an unceremonious manner. Duh.
He stopped and looked out into the expanse, putting his hands on his hips and sighing. It had been a fun stroll around the fountain, but he had no idea where to go next. Figuring there was no better alternative, he figured he'd head straight into the distance towards one of the gates. As he dropped his arms to his side and took a step towards the one he was looking at, a voice suddenly stopped him.
"I wouldn't go to that one."
Zack turned around, looking at three men in armor. One man stood in front, closest to Zack, while the other two were several steps behind him on each side.
"All of these portals and you're telling me I pick the bad one?" Zack asked in response.
"That will take you to Coruscant," the soldier explained. "It's a dark and dangerous place. We're soldiers from Camelot. If you come with us, we can help you understand the Omniverse a little better."
Zack crossed his arms, and tilted his head a little bit. He was interested, but he didn't respond just yet. Sensing his hesitance, the soldier continued.
"You're a Prime, that means you were chosen by Omni himself. You can make use of Omnilium, which makes you a target for some very bad people in this world," the soldier continued. "I implore you to come with us. The Nexus can be dangerous."
Zack suddenly started laughing, taking a half step backwards as he did.
"I appreciate it guys, really," Zack said as his laughter died out some. "But one thing I learned where I came from is that you can never really tell who the good guys are."
"Sir..." the soldier said, stepping forward.
"Thanks, but no thanks," Zack said as he turned around and resumed his stroll towards the portal.
As he took a few steps, though, he suddenly stopped. Deciding that it might be best to at least heed some advice from these strangers, he made an abrupt right turn and began walking towards the northern most portal instead.
