The secretary waves them off.

"All right. Thank you." Umbra starts heading downstairs.
Once they're down one flight, Umbra turns his head to the side to ask Danu something.
"Hey, uh... Do you know anything about this town? 'Cause I don't..."

"I think it's more of an issue of us being trouble making outsiders. It seems kind of ironic, though... There's been the most crime reports uploaded from here recently. A few of them are even stranger than the ones we submit..."
Umbra adjusts his coat and shielding arm brace, the latter of which is covered by his sleeve.
"Maybe I'll learn something from this shady invitation."

A tall Terran in his forites is seen standing ontop of a flight of stairs, dressed in intricate blue robes. 
"This is a plesent surprise. I though you would have bolted after you got of the train. And you brought guests? Even better. come into my office, and fix yourself a drink. We have some business to take care of."

// You know, you could just call them Humans if you wanted. I'd imagine very few of them are from Earth, considering that Humans are usually in other worlds as well and were native to Nexus 17 before the first portal opened up...
// Just saying.
"Uh, sure..." Umbra somewhat slowly goes up the stairs, still hesitant about the mysterious invitation.

"You are a Gaurd, one of the best, yet you hesitate? Why don't you trust me, the mayor of goldfield? Just plain old Cornelius. I have a simple proposition for you, that's why I requested a meeting with you."
The mayor sits down at his desk and pulls a bottle of nukacola quantum from a mini fridge installed in the desk.

"Well, I wouldn't say 'the best'... There's also not much to trust about an unwarranted invitation after I hopped on a train car and met some strange Avali. Your town isn't very welcoming, either... No offense."

"The towns folk aren't usually like this. They are afraid, but not of you. There's been some incidents lately, and I've seen too many good men die trying to fix things. That's why I wanted to see you. you have two choices, serve your time in jail, or do some "errands" for me. And the crimes you committed where second degree assault, and tampering evidence at a crime scene, So pick your poison."

"...Wait, what? I didn't do anything! All I did was avoid a bullet, get in a train, deal with a construct occupied by a Shade, and get off. If you have any evidence of me committing any actual crimes, I'd like to see it. Now."
