TO: ALL | SUBJECT: As it has already been said - try not to die.

FROM: krios.thane@cdc.org
TO: ALL
SENT: Day 5 | 68:32

01
To everyone departing tomorrow: may you be watched over and protected. If our journey here was any indication, we will be facing even greater threats ahead. There are few things more frightening than the unknown.

02
Do not give up, even when the road seems obscured.

To those of you who will remain here: you have already seen what surrounds the encampment. I doubt what we've seen will be the last. Be careful; my thoughts and prayers are with you as well.

03
In light of all the discord that has been sown recently, it is even more important to remember who you are. Losing yourself to doubt is one of the surest steps onto the path toward Despair. May the Goddess protect you.

- Thane

[ well this is a surprise ]

That's quite thoughtful of you. Thank you for the sentiment. I wish you luck in your endeavors as well.

Thank you. I don't believe we've spoken before. Queue is your name?

I will be venturing out, to the island at the northernmost part of the map. Thankfully, not alone.

Thank you. It is appreciated.

Yuni guide your steps.

And yours as well, Pilot.

[After monitoring this post, he's decided to take his messages somewhere more private.]

Thanks, it means a lot. Good luck with everything on your side too.

Your name is not on the exploration list, so I assume you're with the encampment team. Do you plan on moving toward the outpost coordinates?

Which Goddess is the question. Not that I know which one is which. More seriously, thanks. And if you wind up coming in hot, I'll have you covered.

Arashu is who watches over us, her children.

I appreciate it. Although taking heat is more than I could hope for, in this environment.

Thank you Thane, that was very thoughtful of you. May the Goddess watch over you as well.

You have quite the journey ahead, yourself. Be careful when crossing the sea again -- at least our knowledge of the creatures below the ice will be invaluable.

Nice words to hear. I've never been so good at saying things like that myself. Not the eloquent sort.

And what about you? Are you going out or holding up the fort?

So long as they are encouraging and bring some measure of peace, that's what matters.

I will be venturing north to one of the islands. I don't see your name on the list, so I assume you'll be holding out here.

[ Interesting sentiment. It almost sounds like a prayer. ]

Frightening? On the contrary. There's nothing more exciting. Where's your sense of adventure?

It is the concept of the unknown and unfamiliar that often gives cause to be wary; survival instinct. If I had no sense of adventure, you wouldn't find me setting out on this endeavour in the first place.

It certainly is. Earth is not the only source of culture, after all. Though it does seem to be the most tumultuous when it comes to its own.

Thank you. I hope that your journey goes well, as well.

Many thanks. Yours as well.

that's thoughtful of you.

where are you headed?

Very far north, though I suppose our course will be heading west first. Are you prepared for your own journey?
