For now, NNV; B seems like the "safest" option at the moment, but the consequences could be severe, and the locations themselves seem more challenging than they appear. It's a risky choice; from a purely narrative perspective, I feel that B is the more compelling option. However, relying on random drops for B as it is now is still too risky.
So, I'm leaning towards A. It will allow us to avoid the murky rings, and it might unlock some additional information and options. There will also be books and equipment there, and it aligns well with my cleric's oaths. And if we don't get any help and the civilian rescue mission fails with the transport recovery, then, as a last resort, if the GM doesn't throw in any additional curveballs, we can at least move to Siske to avoid trekking for three days without sleep through cannibal territory. Overall, that's where we were headed before entering the current location, and for now, we're just taking a breather.
