Holder of the Wheel

In any city, in any country, go to any mental institution or halfway house you can get yourself to. When you reach the front desk, ask to visit someone who calls himself "The Holder of the Wheel." The worker will promptly call for security, causing two large, muscular men to appear instantly and drag you away. Do not resist them.

The security men will drag you through many, many hallways and rooms. Anybody else who walks by will turn away and hide his face upon seeing you. Should any of them instead look you directly in the eye, immediately shout at him, "My card has yet to be drawn!" If the patient or staffer then walks up to you to touch you, then it has been set in motion; success was not in your future.

If the person walks away, you are safe. The security men will drag you along until you have reached a rather dingy cell in a long-abandoned section of the institution. The men will shove you inside and lock the door behind you. Inside this dim cell is a gigantic wheel contraption with prayer cards inscribed in a forgotten language at the end of every spoke. An ancient-looking, dark-skinned man will be slowly turning the wheel with his hand. Ask him, "For whom does the wheel turn?"

The old man will stop the wheel and pull a card from it. After carefully folding it, he will hand it to you.

That card is Object 141 of 538. Its meaning will be clear on the day they come together.
