Control spends her time in discussion with Dr. Sabbatine. She seems to notice you by accident and says, "Do what you can for the village, Crowchar, while we still have time. You aren't home yet, and this world still has countless dangers."

That makes sense. And you have your own schemes and stratagems to attend to, to blunt the power of the Ziggurat and the False Icon and prevent this village from being overrun before Control finishes her work.

You estimate your various sources of revenue from the village total 570 solidi.

Alexius is still spending his time in the forest, far from the admittedly rough comforts of the River People's civilization. He rarely returns except for meals and when Control stokes the Specular's boilers.
