Description
Seven weeks after the conclusion of the Second Transoceanic voyage, half of the fleet was loaded up and sent to cross the sea. Along with more common civilian supplies and some colonists were 360 additional soldiers, 20 rifled cannons, 40 cavalry horses, a large number of firearms, a large quantity of ammunition for rifles, pistols, shotguns and cannons. There was the same worries before about both a Drow attack as well as the threat of sacking, as well as fears about the size of the convoy. Especially since there had been a few Dark Elvish raids on fishing boats and villages, a few of which were thankfully destroyed by Shchuka Boats on patrol. It was quite a relief when they passed without incident and found that the port was left unattached. They soon set anchor and began unloading it's cargo.

Captain Kanev Gregorovich soon disembarked and was met by Discovery on the small rudimentary Warf in what was to become a fairly substantial port one day, but was now a few bare basic structures. The settlement was still in it's infancy and there was a lot to do and build. Among the things they had yet to get around to was docks for ships. This meant that cargo had to be unloaded onto rowboats to be taken to the shore. It was a slow, labor intensive and inefficient process, but other projects had so far taken priority. That said a few aids had been set up, including a crane for handing really heavy objects. As he spoke a cannon was hoisted up.

"Captain, I see the voyage was safe."

"Yes sir." He said. "I am glad to see that you and your new colony has been kept safe."

"Indeed. We shall have your ships provisioned and readied for the return voyage within two to three weeks."

"Sir, might I inquire, have any Dark Elf ships been sighted?"

"No. The only seacraft longer than six meters that has detected by either the colonists or aeriel recon which have approached this settlement were of Infrastructural manufacture, though this is not an excuse for laxity."

"The Artillery should keep the operation safe, sir."

"That it should, I shall read more of your voyage in your report captain. Good day to you." Discovery then returned to his office.

"Yes sir." He then walked into town to get something to eat and to see how things were going. As he did so, he wondered why the Dark Elves had not tried an attack, or at least some scouting. It was not that he objected to the fact that the Colony had not weathered this storm, he just figured that the Drow would try something. There was only about 6,000 or so people in the colony, including the ones he just dropped off. It made him uncertain, which made him nervous. Hopefully a meal with some fresh fruit and vegetables would make him feel better.
