The scientist actually is a member of another underground faction,
the Liberation Front of Northern Kerlo, supposedly also fighting against
Kand which makes him even more trustworthy. FNA and LFNK team up.

What FNA didn't know, though, was that in order to support their forces
and somewhat work around their supply shortage, the Empire has been hiring
local mercenaries to do the dirty work. The LFNK, in the face of heaps
of credits and the post of a Governor in one of the northern provinces
of Kerlo, couldn't really help but switch sides. The FNA part of the mixed
dispatch that was sent for the bio weapon suddenly finds itself stabbed
in the back by their allies.

On the map it looks like the air fields are south of the plains. The
General takes place on the plains, however (probably where you placed
the Kand HQ). That way they would likely already have stumbled across
the air fields.

Sorry, I have no idea what Sarph Rift is referring to. And I'm not sure about
Omyar Gorge, either. Maybe we should just let it sit for a while? In the
end, it doesn't _have_ to get into the campaign. If we get enough maps
without it, that's fine.

Not much more to add right now.

Where can I get the book? ;-)
