♠ first fragment; [video]
[A bearded man who seems to be in his mid-forties fiddles and taps the bracelet, appearing--if nothing else--bewildered and bemused by this strange device. He is, honestly, but wouldn't anyone? Panic will do him no good at all!
This man is dark-skinned and, to anyone from Earth, appears to speak with a particular accent--from the near East; a Turk, dressed somewhat colorfully over what skilled eyes would see as protective armor--and he's armed as well. At the moment though, he may as well look harmless.
Yusuf rubs at his chin, tapping a finger against his jaw.]
I hope this is not a magnificent ruse of some kind, but I was not aware this is where I would walk-- No, no, vakitsiz oten horozun basini keserler, eh? Important matters first--the rest will happen in time.
If what I am told is true, this message can be heard by others as well. Perhaps an answer would serve to put my mind at ease? [Because the grin on his face says he's really trying, but if this turns out not to be true he will feel pretty foolish in the end. Nothing ventured nothing gained though.]
I am afraid visiting a city of gods is beyond my past experiences, and trust me, I have seen many strange things in my lifetime. Unfortunately, I have little to offer in materials in exchange for information. If I may intrude upon the graces of any generous travelers I promise I will offer good conversation in return.
[Yusuf nods and waves an idle hand.] Bir elin nesi var, iki elin sesi var.
[And after more fiddling, off goes the transmission.]

Ah! Abla, I should have known at the sight of your eyes. Your sense of wit threw me off. I--[gesturing at himself]--am Yusuf Tazim.

It's true, I've always been the smartest of us. [ a beat. ] Where are you, Yusuf Tazim? I would like to meet in person.
[ the network isn't safe. ]
