บท 468: Those bastards...

The caravan was moving through the desert at a pace other world powers could only dream of. 

Daniel didn't hold back in the slightest when it came to forming his expedition. As such, while other powers had to scramble everything they could just to procure a few prototypes of the early versions of the hovers, three generations of development of more modern hovers served as the baseline for the logistic of the caravan. 

The main limiting factor to the caravan's speed wasn't the speed the vehicles could safely and consistently make on the roadless dunes of the greatest desert on the planet. 

No, it was the structural integrity of the massive excavator the caravan was transporting. It was split into over two hundred different parts, each carried by a separate hover. And yet, just to keep those parts from breaking apart, Daniel had no other choice but to accept a pace he could only call a crawl.
