It was an early start at the camp of explorers aiming to exterminate pests. Those who managed to get up early enough had at least some time to swallow down a light breakfast before the Janitors pushed everyone to get to work.
Before they could establish an effective countermeasure for the rats, it was first necessary to find out more about them. How far did their range of operations stretch? Average strength? Communication methods? Motivation?
During the upcoming days, everyone would focus on gathering as much information on the rats as possible. Some had a deadline of two days to try and find how far away the wasteland reached. Others would experiment with different ways to deal with the rats, how they reacted to different kinds of magic and why.
Out of town so the chapters will be shorter for a few days, but to compensate I will upload two chapters a day starting next month :)
