[Good evening, explorers! After departing from Cair Paradisa, the path was south at first, but turned west fairly early on. Skirting well south of Eldritch Forest, the travelers had camped near the edge of the Amber Steppe, not quite within sight of the forest that marks the Totem Coast. The grasses are parched brown by the heat, though greener patches mark the presence of water. It's near one of these - a small, bubbling stream leading west that Raine has chosen to follow as it will almost certainly run into the river marked on her map - that the travelers have made their camp.

The carts and wagons are arranged in a defensive circle, though the campers are free to set up their tents outside them as well as inside wher ethe rest of them are. There are small cooking fires scattered around as well as a large bonfire in the center for socializing.

Play music? Sing? Teach those poor non-Earth kids how to make s'mores? Or just sit around and socialize with others.

Or hide in your tent and ignore everyone, if you really want to.]

Yeah. Spoiled rotten rebel scum blowing up civilians because they're mad at the UNSC.

[Her eyes get wide] Why would they do that? Why are they mad?

[i_got_this]

I dunno, sovereignty or some shit. I didn't really know. Just that they were willing to blow up cities and luxury cruise liners and shit to get attention like some spoiled brat.

[fly_little_bird]

They shouldn't hurt innocent people to get what they want... that's not right.

[i_got_this]

I know, right? Bastards.

[fly_little_bird]

I don't understand how people can do that to other people...

[i_got_this]

Unfortunately I think part of it is just human nature. You've got the protectors and the people who fuck shit up.

[South doesn't turn out to be such a great human being herself, later in her timeline]
