Just have 'em wake up in the morning and find the world has changed somewhat
and make them work to find out.  Make sure you know what they're carrying
and how much ammo everyone has but don't even worry about the how - if they
don't know what day it is (relative to the last day they remember being in
the Wasted West) they can never be sure how much time they lost in crossing
over - or did they actually cross over or are they just sharing a
spook-juice induced hallucination?  Then send them after the Heart; the
Prospector could approach them, or the Junker could rememebr reading about
it and that it might get them back, however you like.  This way, you're not
spilling the beans too early on and, besides, I just love to mess with their
heads.

Pay heed, Mike!
