Alvyurin Ekkatran - The desert

I guess I should write something here, since Jedditor was kind enough to set it up. My name is Alvyurin Ekkatran, currently Research Director of this expedition. That means I actually have time to stop and think about things--it's my job. Otherwise I'd never be writing on this [System] [terminal].

Alvyurin - how many people are there with you? Are you communicating for yourself and Jedditor? Or you part of a community of people now traveling through the desert? How can we help? I'll second vidstudent's point though - whatever methods you can use to help sustain your resources the better, and it sounds like it can help, and maybe give your mages a chance for a small break every now and then.
