Part 5/13:
As the expedition loomed closer, strange occurrences unfolded. Morris received an enigmatic visitor, Fint, who brought unsettling news about a powerful faction known as the Custodians—ancient beings who sought to guard their secrets and prevent anyone from decrypting the truths of the past. Their warning was simple yet ominous: "You are not permitted to uncover what lies beyond the ice."
Faced with trepidation and uncertainty, a missed opportunity arose—Captain Butler’s disappearance left the crew in panic just days before their scheduled departure. However, Butler returned just in time, holding maps that showcased not only the coordinates to their goals but hinted at a truth too significant for humanity to ignore.
