Winter feel unconscious before we could leave the rest area, the Lord Captain gave the order to return her to the compound as she had become a liability. The only way I could do this safely was to move at my maximum speed using my Gavic Levitation to reduce Winter's movement preventing more injury. I got her back to the compound within the hour and returned to the Lord Captain in another. Upon returning I found the Lord Captain critically wounded, a dead unknown xeno creature, a dead tribal contact, and one of the ships priests. The Lord Captain had an order from the Ecclesiarchy to excommunicate Dallas, I have seen these orders before and carried out most of them. How one of the ships priests made it into the caves system is unknown to me, but I will be looking into this matter.

Despite the Lord Captains critical condition he insisted that we carry on with the expedition seeing that one of the tribal contacts returned alive. The Lord Captain's condition continued to deteriorate and he fell unconscious twice, I was sure that the heat would have been more than enough to kill him. Now that we have made it to the Kishka it occurs to me that the Lord Captain could have a route made from the compound cave entrance to the Kishka potentially opening trade, a foot hold in the cave system, and assimilation into the Imperium.
