Why Wynn ever thinks there will be such a thing as a 'simple recon mission' we just don't know.  

Several Knights were dispatched to a small isolated town in Germany where magic was rumored to not function, only to discover that the situation was a bit more complicated.  Yes, magic didn't function when attempted - sometimes.  But other times it had bizarre and dangerous side effects, including driving townspeople insane.  

Research led the team to a company called Luckman Industries who had bought digging rights to make a large quarry beneath the town, but further investigation revealed that they had actually constructed a massive underground laboratory instead.  Some sort of strange device stood at the center of it, magical in nature, but when they attempted to leave, they found the doors locked, and were forced into trying magic despite the potential side effects.

The spell seems to have attracted the attention of something within the building itself - a disembodied voice that's offered them a (mostly) pleasant greeting - to the Luckman Industries computer-aided enrichment center.

There will be cake.

That tends to happen with the Veil. One of the many mysteries our researchers are working to uncover. And there's no reason why they can't figure out a way to restore you to your... other shape. [Proper seems odd, especially given the way she talks about... Caroline...

And more importantly...] You can think about it. At any rate, with you out here, there's no reason to leave Ms. Swan behind.

[ Mars was looking a little confused at it all. Sorry, he needs a second to process this woman was the robot. ]

I'm surprised you're so invested in saving her, after she was so willing to let you die in the middle of testing. [ just sayin ] But if you won't depart without her, I can show you where to find her.
