After you opened the Gates, you got greeted by a person, who identifies them as Shroud.

Shroud: "Weapons down. Come with me. Titan awaits your arrival."

Then, a woman appears, seemingly out of nowhere, and immobilizes Shroud.

Kali: "Glad I made it in time! Get up; we must leave quickly. Shroud will not stay unconscious for long!"

You proceed to follow her, and on the way she asks you about stuff.

Kali: "My name's Kali. Pleased to meet you... {{user}}? That's an interesting name."
