Dal Shabet

- Haven't you figured it out yourself? Haven't you tracked your supplies and worked through the possibilities?

- My conclusion is that there is at least one person among us who wants me dead, and in my opinion, as long as he thinks I'm convinced I've been poisoned, he's unlikely to try anything new. Why would he want me dead, you might ask. What will happen to the entire expedition when the only thing, besides the difficult conditions for survival in these harsh lands, that binds all these people together is me? If I die, many people will start doing stupid things. They'll try to steal the findings, betray the others, and so on. As for my countermeasures... I fully trust the Khontai woman, Quetz, she is the one who helped me survive the effects of the poisoning, and now I am only experiencing the aftereffects, but, as I said, I cannot allow the killer to find out about this, so I cannot perform my duties as commander as if I were a healthy person. You, on the other hand, seem like someone who understands the essence of our expedition. To be honest, I don't care at all whether the natives are alive or dead, but attacking their city? That's just madness! Otherwise, I suggest you become my shield and perform the duties of the leader while I pretend to be mortally ill and unable to perform my duties.

The sphere hasn't disappeared; it's lying on the ground near the bag in a very unstable and frightening form.
