Trapped! Help Grace!

I left the office after giving Mom the address, and she turned on the nav system for me, showing me a small map in the top right-hand corner of my HUD. The route was highlighted with a lime green line that made for an easy trip. It was nice just to go for a walk in a somewhat normal-looking city, that I felt familiar with at least. 

The city reminded me a lot of the world I had thought I had come from compared to places like Prime, Shadesholm, and The Random World. It was calm, the people were all human, which was the strangest part, which got me thinking as I walked, What was the point of this city? What things would we get from completing the bounties to help us against that giant thing?
