"I will trust your words, Kase, if you say that the plants down there are highly aggressive, if I understood you right there? It would be a pity if our team died of an unknown toxic before we reached anything." A slightly sarcastic smile would play around his lips. He straightened himself on his char again. "As with Karabar, it should be plainly obvious that IMG is mostly interested in the mountain chain in its centre, as well as possibly the arctic regions up in the north."
