Dialogue

Captain Zoya Snezhevna's Report (I)

...Up till now, our cooperation with the Tanit tribe has gone quite smoothly. The elder, Babel, has made it clear to Azariq that she is willing to work with us. Helping her take control of the tribe should aid our desert expedition to explore the Eternal Oasis...
...
...The transfer of power within the Tanit tribe is complete. The other eight elders have been done away with... a lot quicker than we anticipated. We have no clue what means Babel used. Perhaps some new assassin was called upon... Some have left, others have disappeared...
...
...The Tanit tribe is well-organized thanks to Babel and Azariq. It seems that the recently concluded upheaval has not done any obvious damage to the tribe...
...This may or may not be a good thing for us...
...Regardless, it is our turn to uphold our end of the bargain. The Tanit tribe will obtain supplies and technical aid from Snezhnaya...

Captain Zoya Snezhevna's Report (II)

...Our scouts and prospectors have been disappearing in the Tanit hunting grounds. Three people in total have been lost thus far...
...Babel assures me that the Tanit will cooperate in the investigation, but though I agree that there is no reason for these desert people to undermine our cooperation, we cannot fully trust them...
...
...Professor Froderock's report is quite interesting. Following an analysis of their language patterns and reading activities, he believes that the education level of these desert folk may not be low...
Though their economic situation is exceedingly lacking, they nonetheless have the contacts to gain access to experimental records discarded by the Akademiya, and a process of continuous reading, self-driven studies and practical application have helped them establish a stable knowledge system...
...
...In many places, they have even surpassed the people of Sumeru, who are reliant on the Akasha to process information and practical skills...

Captain Zoya Snezhevna's Report (III)

...Babel ceased communication with us without warning...
...
...We lost contact with all our listening posts. We were alone, unmoored in an endless sandstorm...
...
...Lieutenant Ruslan reported that our logistics troops have spotted strange shapes in the storm, seemingly observing them. They seemed to have elected not to cut off our supply line despite having the ability to. I suspected that they wanted to talk terms...
...
...Three weeks later, Babel's messenger came to us with new conditions. We were to either accept her terms, or leave this desert altogether...
...
...We have to temporarily suspend our exploration of the Eternal Oasis and shift all our strength to dealing with the Tanit first...
...
...Unfortunately, our rendezvous points have been scattered. It will be difficult for us to pose any threat to them...
...Professor Froderock says that he needs a "live sample." I do not know what he is talking about, but he does have overall command over us, so we have decided to find some way to capture those people... or perhaps, "that" person...

Trivia

• In the original Chinese text, Zoya is more openly derogatory of Froderock in her third report. "I do not know what he is talking about, but he does have overall command over us" (Chinese: 不懂他在胡说八道什么，但这个怪人对我们所有人拥有指挥权) would be more like "I have no idea what nonsense he's spouting, but this weirdo has command over all of us" when taking tone into account.
  • Zoya's irritation with Froderock can also be seen in a readable entitled "Preliminary Test on Experimental Subject" in the World Quest Make Bright the Arrows, Gather the Shields... in Series Her Foes Rage Like Great Waters..., in which she crossed out his suggestion to continue their research in the desert and replied with an implied threat on his life.
