Expedition Begins in Earnest

After receiving the report that construction of the basic settlement is complete, the Inspector speaks in an even voice.

"Then at last, you can begin the expedition. As you know, those accursed thorny vines are swallowing the continent even as we speak."

He pauses, then adds in a low voice.

"Expeditions are dispatched across the continent, but few survive in the abandoned lands. Don't let your guard down."

Having said his piece, the raven beats its wings and takes flight.
