Iter Aeneae - Expedition Prologue


“This expedition of yours sounds crazy, Theo, how much do you think it will cost?”
“Well, the board already rejected my proposition for a full scale expedition.  However, we both could provide the funds for a smaller one.”
“And how much would I have to contribute?”
“About ten DecGP…”
“Theo, that’s almost half of my total saving. “
“It’s a worthwhile expedition, Julia, the new discoveries we will make will outweigh the costs.  I’m putting everything I have of value into it, even my house.”
“But Theo, this is the Asya Mountain range we are making our expedition to.  It’d been explored multiple times already and no new vaults have been found.  You’re going to go all in for that?”
“It’s not a vault I’m looking for, the vaults only hold secondhand information on Alchemy.  The information on Alchemy other corporations gather from them does not further our knowledge on Alchemic sequencing, but rather just give us sequences to slap onto things without knowing the inner workings.”
“So what are you going to be searching for?”
