A shattered... large world?
Listening to the objective of this expedition, Richard felt his brain momentarily crash.
According to Ulysses, every large world is the cradle of a civilization. Unless there is a Plane War, it is essentially impossible for a civilization to possess two large worlds.
Yet now, Jimmy was telling him that he was about to head to a shattered large world for a Plane expedition.
Had the world gone mad?
"Hello? Hello? Did you hear clearly? This expedition is no small matter; we must bring enough supplies."
Richard rubbed his face and replied somewhat listlessly, "I heard you, Master. I'll provide you with the land-based floating mother ship. To be honest, Master, do you know the inside story of this expedition?
Why would they choose to conquer a large world at this time?"
