869 Solemn Banquet

"...we're in trouble aren't we?" Paul solemnly asked after a bout of silence from the team.

Raven just finished retelling the story of how he retrieved Geezer from the expedition team of the Abyssals and the intel they gathered from them. 

The intel supplied was mediocre at best since it only showed them a glimpse of the true might of the Abyssals, yet still it's enough for everyone here to understand that they are nowhere near ready enough to confront them.

"...I'm not one to give false hopes so I'm not going to deny the possible of that." Raven mentioned, "Still, with the recent projects you guys accomplished, you definitely saved us a great amount of time." 

"But I reckon it's far from enough, right?" Mark interjected.
