There's some very interesting research going on in the Akk Wilds. Doctor Bleent, as he insists on being called, has been distilling a drink from oozes, much to the chagrin of local peacemakers. Hrouda, specifically, is investigating Bleent's suspect practices. Also, Parnna has been reconstructing a gate that she thinks will give access to an ancient transfer chamber. Quite exhilarating, really.
