I think in this instance members of the Resistance and Loyalists probably monitor travel between dimensions.
Which might be psi adept ppl on both sides or tech means.
I think it would largely depend on who got to the "normal" citizen first, the resistance would probably try to help the person and maybe petition them to help ie; telling Praetorian citizens that Primal exists, gettin the word out so to speak.
Loyalists and the other hand would probably torture the person or brainwash them or just kill them outright since they really hold no value.
Just food for thought...

Well, if he's just a regular guy with no powers, he might LOVE Praetoria. It is set up in such a way that the regular citizens never even realize that Cole is a dictator. And if they DO realize it, they are quickly mind-wiped before they can spread the word that Praetoria's "savior" is actually it's enemy. |

The attacks by giant war machines certainly will have been covered by news shows on television worldwide. But if they didn't get to experience an attack firsthand (and didn't hear Emperor Cole's speech), would they know that the attackers call their world "Praetoria"? Would they know the leader of the invaders is named "Emperor Cole"? What I'm aiming at is this: Let's say a regular Primal Earth human with no real super powers suddenly finds himself in Praetoria. He will have a feeling he's not in Kansas any more, and he might not like Praetoria very much once he realizes he's not really a free citizen over there, but would he be able to realize that this is the world that invaded his home? What do you think? 10joy |
If he's ever seen a War Walker or anything with his own eyes, he might put 2 and 2 together and come to the conclusion that this is where the invaders came from, but he might not, it depends on whether Cole allows regular citizens to see his war machines.

If he's a normal Primal Earth citizen, I'm not sure he'd be able to add 2 and 2 and come up with Cole. Algebra seems to be a foreign language to most people.|

Speaking of math, I can add 1 and 1 and come up with either 2, 3 or 11, depending on my mood.
There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"

2 + 2 can equal 5 for large values of 2.
