“You are to explore the forest at your own initiative. Magpies are encouraged to collect and take note of any potential resources we are able to find and bring home in these woods. If you find anything worth protecting, bring it back to our main camp. Rayne and her team will remain with me as backup.
The trees will provide some natural cover from the storm, so as long as you bundle up good you’ll be all right, but if you do start to feel the cold, return to Smog and our base at once! I repeat, as soon as you start to feel cold, return at once, do not risk anything! Stay with us until you’re up to exploring again, or until we’re ready to return. There’s no shame in dropping out, the fact we managed to make it this far is an achievement itself!
Falcons have reported many field and plain type ferals around these parts, so expect some bugs and rodents as you explore the forest. Weaker members should party up with stronger ones if necessary.
All right, I’ll hand out some maps, compasses and rations, they should last you a good few days but return to base if you need to stock up! Base location is marked on your map, north a few hundred metres. We’ll be heading there immediately to set up.
All right, good luck all! We’ll hopefully be seeing you all again soon!“
