The gate opens in an small space. Through a doorway ahead is a mid-sized room, scattered with chairs. One wall, directly across from the doorway to the incoming gates area, is made of some clear material. On the other side of it is another room, with a metallic floor raised slightly above the first one's, with a half-dozen complex diagrams and space for many more.
The way into there appears to be through a decontamination room to the left. There is a door on the right into the rest of the base. Embedded in the wall to the left is the door to the outgoing gate area.
Both rooms are windowless and otherwise minimally decorated.
(Observant guests may note that the gravity is about a third of what they are used to.)

(This is entirely feigned. The hard part of alethics is almost always in the design of the spell, not the casting.)
For a moment, he simply hovers there, unmoving.
Then the room - unblurs, sharpens unnaturally, every edge picked out in a glaring color not of this world. The light fantastic reaches out from him in curlicued fractals, cracks in reality growing like writhing vines to the edges of the room.
When they reach the floor and walls and ceiling, they seem to lose coherence, the light rushing across the Boundary of the room in a wave of unlight, a computerized grid appearing momentarily.
"Within this space, may the Truth be known to all.
Blur. Blur. Blur. Blur. Blur.
Five times blur and then hold."

And Aisilian vanishes, replaced by an image of a tower, reaching to the skies, phantasmal clouds around its base and stars about its tip. A tower of Babel. A tower in slow, tumbling ruin, beautiful arches formed of crumbling masonry and spires of exposed iron and blue crystal, caught in mid-fall.

One, in large lettering and positioned to be in clear view of the portal, is warning about the gravity.
Another is several displays of a board full of names, showing who is next for warding.
The last is a note about forum access being available on the ectos scattered around the room.

Linsa steps through the gate, and promptly stumbles and would fall if Anda did not reach out very quickly (too quick for standard human reflexes) and grab her and steady her.

Once through, he looks at Thorn. "I have another person I would like warded."

"Fun," she observes, smiling. And then she looks up and sees the tower-image. She makes an appreciative 'oooo' sound.

Whatever. She can handle this. Show up, get warded, leave. Easy. She informs Lioncourt (and gains permission) to gate back to the castle, and then step through the portal.
She stumbles and hisses a curse word in the strange gravity. Maybe if she were less of a wreck she would handle this with poise and grace. But unfortunately, she is kind of a wreck.

"Protection, appreciation, gratitude." A clear orb of glass appears in the air, attached by two twisting threads to two smaller blobs of glass, before vanishing.
"Biohazard -and other-, magic-vaccination, location is?" A small bumpy glass sphere, linked by two threads to a larger purple sphere with a clear flat disk growing out of one side.

Almost certainly an effect of it being another world, not a cause for concern, just something to find out about. If a world could have a self-editing small-seed that gets inside of people and controls or kills them, without even touching them, there would be nothing to stop the world from being made out of strange materials, or from making everything in it lighter.
She steps away from the portal to allow others to go by.

Shortly after she arrives, however, she stands back up and heads out the mysterious door, carrying her protein drink.
