As the Imperial ship Zaigus pulled into the dock at Fort Narselis the Fort's commander, Lord Justed, cousin of the Emperor, walked onto the dock.  Once the new troops had made it off of the boat he separated out the replacement troops for the base and addressed the new scouts.  "Welcome to the new continent, recruits.  I'm not much for long speeches, so I'll just try and cover things quickly.  You've been brought here to scout and secure the area so that we can eventually bring in actual colonists.  In case you haven't noticed already, this fort is running low on supplies.  Food is difficult to come by, as we have no farming here or trade with the locals, and we don't even have horses to help out because we can't afford to feed them.  Your job is to fix this.  To help you in this, two people from the base will be assigned to help you."  He motioned behind him.  "We have a Local we rescued that will act as your translator and our assistant smith, that I think can help you out, especially in finding your was around the fort.  Get to know each other, go get some food for your trip, and get to work."

With that he turned around and walked away.  "Uh, I guess I'd better introduce myself," said Jile, walking towards the two new people and holding out his hand, "I'm Jile On'yan, a mage."
