Silaro hands the book to you. “An interesting find, to be sure,” he says. “This was bound by Dorrin Qur, one of the last he made before he passed five summers ago. Old Dorrin made a set for the Hollan Expedition, though it’s remembered now only as the 'Lost Expedition.' Hollan Helgur organized a team of would-be explorers—including some Rangers—and ventured into the depths of the arcology, never to return.”

You recall Elder Thrush’s description of that ill-fated expedition. You had thought that no trace of them was ever found; and you say as much to Silaro.

The archaeologist nods, and you catch a glimpse of Silaro’s old enthusiasm beneath his somber demeanor. “Correct you are, and many of us spent our fair share of time looking. But as I searched the maze-like corridors to the north of here, I came across this in the midst of what appeared to be an old campsite.”

Silaro leans closer and opens the book, pointing to several entries in turn. “It’s incomplete, and there’s been some damage. But this is definitely the expedition’s logbook! I think if I review the entries and crosscheck them with some of the things we’ve discovered in the last few days …” His voice trails off, and the brief enthusiasm fades. “But I fear I have no time to investigate this further at the moment, intriguing as it may be.”

You do not hesitate to offer your assistance, and suggest that if Silaro doesn’t have time to follow up on this, you just might. After all, you reason, once you review the logbook, it won’t be too difficult for you to keep an eye out for clues as to the expedition’s fate.

Silaro thinks for a moment, then to your surprise, grabs you in an awkward but genuine hug. “Thank you,” he says, his voice husky. “I’ll give you the book and eagerly await what you learn.”
