>>6003828Windchime Temple is reconsecrated, through enormous effort and not a few spare supplies. But it makes for a light march with the sun at our back.
Most units find, scavenge, acquire or manage to make do. Our force-wide supply situation is [Acceptable]
The Cerco Chemhounds and Lutatius go scavenging in the cracks, crags and crooks for abnormal biology. It's harsh terrain out here. After some stings, hives, reactions and a few fair now full pouches, a few interesting samples have been acquired. Long exposure to the wrack-winds from the south-east have had unfortunate consequences on the wildlife in the Easterlies. It's half the reason the ecosystem out here is so occassionally violent.
Most of it isn't news to the deep research projects of merchant houses and noble enclave, but things that known are not unworthy. What man wouldn't want a divehawk? All women appreciate a cerebovorando hive in their backyard! No, that's a lie, Senate Animal Control published bulletins about the danger of dream-stealing ants on the regular. But the secretions, sacs, glands and solutions can be put to use.
>NoxPox added as a Chemicae trait; it's a disruptive that inflicts morale damage and toxicity. Try not to add it in large quantities to local water supplies. All the Chemicaes have it, force-wide, and can be ordered to deploy it with actions an orders. The Cerco Chemhounds, being House-Combat Chemics, have it read to go in any combat situation; they don't need to be ordered to use it if it's relevant for them to do so. Though one could order them to deploy it for other purposes.--
Rally round! Formation up and formation sound!
