Reports from the forward team finally came through!
It would appear that the forward base construction will be done before the expedition crew arrive. However, sightings of the coastal locals grew more frequent, yet no contact has been made. They're not hostile at the time of this report, but the team's activities are definitely being observed. Morale is steady but will eventually waver due to prolonged feeling of isolation. Speaking of locals, the ambassadors tribe were found! Also not hostile but very curious creatures. Supplies had to be locked tight due to them trying out -and loving- equestrian delicacies. Unfortunately they're still unable to comprehend each other, but he'd be happy to know that their numbers are still vast.
Next report:
Journey into the jungle had been impeded upon the sighting of a huge reptile quadraped, confirmed as a predator as it hunts by stretching its tongue, coated with a strong adhesive. Location in the food chain is unknown. Assumed as apex for now. Team retreated back to base. All members accounted for and uninjured. Markings were found etched onto the bark of a few trees, some were made only recently. Distinct from the patterns found from the coastal tribes, there was a possibility of yet another tribe. Routine will continue normally, except for explorations, which will be kept at a minimum until the cavalry arrives.
An overall good news for the expedition crew, especially assuming that the base they had built, was made with 6 ships worth of ponies in mind. Now that we're down to 3 ships, after a mass termination of contracts by most of our investors, the extra space may prove useful.
