*~INCOMING MESSAGE~*
Those of you with Coalition communicators, wherever you may be in this crazy mess, finally start to receive a new message. On the tiny display appears Makoto, and his voice comes in clear.
"Everyone, I need you to listen very carefully! Make sure that those with you without communicators can hear this message as well! We've finally established communication again and it's been a difficult process due to a powerful interference. This same interference is causing a number of issues with the operation. Particularly, I'm sorry to say you've all been dropped into the wrong dimension. The Arch Demon isn't here, and so we must get you to the correct dimension as soon as possible. As you know, we can't transport individuals remotely, and the interference makes bringing you back for another try to be next-to impossible."
Makoto looked calm, despite what he was saying. He even managed a smile. "However, not all hope is lost. We've sent an agent into the dimension you've found yourselves in who has the power to move you across dimensions. Unfortunately, we've lost contact with him, and we don't know where he is. We have a few places in mind where he might be, but... you'll just have to search them all."
On screen, Makoto looked away. He seemed he wanted to say more, but he only shook his head. "... Good luck, everyone."
The communicators display a list of possible places to search...
To the East was a single tower that looked to have received repairs at some point. As it stood outside the sight of even those who had searched up high to look, it was located rather far away, and across a field of devastation.
To the West was a series of huts obscured by taller buildings. The communicator would indicate that lots of movement was apparent in this area.
To the North was a concentrated patch of wild vegetation. It was like an island, surrounded by parts of the city submerged in water.
To the South was a giant hole in the earth, miles wide.

For those in the party van, you'll find your trip met with some unexpected bumps.
A bomb goes off underneath the vehicle, knocking it on to its side and putting it out of commission. You'll find that you are in no position to head to the above areas.
