What it takes to be a Field Guide

"Alright everyone. I hope you are ready. Gather round." Kellen barked, and the Guides moved closer to Kellen, even if they appeared uncomfortable. Once everyone was close in, Kellen began. 

"We know that some of you have an idea about what Field Guides are. We are, in some ways, emergency rations when inside of a gate. At least, that is what most of the outside world, and new Espers view us as. But, we are more than that. 

We are informational booklets themselves. We are healers in a pinch, tour guides of an extreme 'adventure park', and yes, in some cases, rations themselves. It is our duty to have more knowledge than everyone else that enters the gates. Sometimes, that includes other Guides, but it definitely includes Espers.
