As the commander explained the situation to the newcomers to the tainted land, Shenston listened with great care to each word that was spoken as well as the tone in which the man had used to express the seriousness of it all. What the commander had to say did not really surprise the elemental as much as the way he took it all in. Here was this man, the leader of this military outpost, talking in such a defeated manner. Perhaps it was the nature of the warp getting to him or the fact that he had been out here for months watching his troops suffer or maybe something entirely different. Either way, the morale of the post seemed to mirror the decaying appearance of it.<br/><br/>"Excuse me, if I may," she spoke in a gentle and inspired tone to contrast the way the commander had been speaking, "but what you describe is not much different from the way the world naturally works anyways. The lands are always talking, not just whispering, to those that are willing to listen. Your civilized world ignores this calling, or refuses to listen to it, and continue to destroy the lands and kill off the creatures that inhabit them in order to provide resources for your cities." She paused for a moment and shook her head as if to shake off the thoughts running in her head, "But that is not important right now. The damage is already done and the 'warp' is here as a response to the neglectful use of power and we have been sent here to study it, at least that was what we were told. Regardless of the true motives behind sending us out here, I am willing to pursue that mission, even if it ends up killing me. You do not have to allow me free access around this post, but you surely understand that your leaders sent me here for a specific purpose. Having spent months among this corruption, are you willing to just let it do to the rest of the lands what it has done here?"
