Expedition Resolution

"It seems our progress toward the objective has slowed, commander."

The expedition members have begun to doubt the expedition's recent ability to achieve its goals.

"Isn’t it a waste of time to keep chasing something that clearly isn’t working?"

You had thought the objective would be completed quickly, but it has proven far less simple than expected.

You fall into deep thought.

"Hmm... if you say so..."

When you assure them that the objective will soon be accomplished, the expedition members reluctantly nod.

"Well then, surely the commander has a proper plan."

You explain to the expedition members why the current expedition objective is realistically difficult to achieve.

"Then why did we even set such a goal in the first place?"

A few expedition members grumble and voice their dissatisfaction.
