When someone yells "Petersburg" and hands out letters to a dozen enclavers, it's hard not to take notice. Ghassan tries to recall everything he knows about St. Petersburg- old, traditional enclave. Old spells, few slots. And whoever this student is, she doesn't seem to be one of them. An independent with ties to an old, strong enclave. Ghassan thinks he'll have better luck approaching her than the St. Petersburg kids. He moves to intercept her as soon as she steps away from their little huddle. He needs more contacts- fast. Most enclavers came in with people they can rely on, but Ghassan- doesn't know that he has that. On the way to her, he hears something about the Chicago enclave, but doesn't stop to ask questions. He might as well ask her about that.
"Excuse me, ah- what is this about Chicago?"
