The Trailblazer Expedition!
Shortly after Ves attached this bold and exciting-sounding label to his plan, he generated immediate excitement among those who learned about the new development.
"Trailblazer Expedition? This sounds like the turbo version of the Purgatory Campaign!"
"I hope the Trailblazer Expedition won't be as destructive as our first expedition and escapades. I'm tired of limping back to civilized space with only half of our fellow mech pilots alive."
"Damn… I would love to go with you guys, but my wife just gave birth to a son. I can't bear to bring my kids to a warzone. I think… I will prepare the paperwork to transfer to the Davute Branch of our clan."
Ves did not hide his new plan from the others. He deliberately spread out the news in order to measure the overall sentiment of his clansmen and gauge their willingness to leave the comforts of Davute behind in order to endure a lot of hardships in the deeper parts of the new frontier.
