Carter was already there, going through a series of reports and surveys. "Found anything interesting?" Kael asked as he entered the room. Carter glanced up from the maps and documents. "Nothing too unusual, but it seems like we're headed to a less populated area this time. Desert cities are always less crowded." Kael nodded in agreement. "That's what makes them…
