August 7th, 1000 B.C.E.
Athens, Greece
Oligarch Council 1900 Hours
"Darkness"
Garascus, Council Head: "We need to address this matter immediately! We can't live in this darkness any longer!"
Margone, Oligarch: "But what can we do? We should wait a little longer, just until the winter solstice, and then we will worry about risky business!"
Garascus: "No! We've waited too long as it is, we need to recover from this crisis immediately!"
Jorgm: "But how? And who could do it"
Garascus: "How, you ask? That is a simple thing, trade!"
Margone: "Trade? We can't cross the land anymore, it is filled with dangers! How can we trade when we can't even traverse our own lands in safety?"
Garascus: "Stay your tongue Margone!" And I wasn't reffering to land-"
Margone: "Talk of maritime trade? Surely you jest!"
Garascus: "MARGONE! Do not interrupt me again or I will have you removed! And yes, seaborne trade is our only option! As to who I would send, I have the perfect candidate!"
