Larefa

As they watched the abomination taking place in front of them, Daneel was reminded of the exact reason behind him choosing this island.

His idea had been simple; he had reasoned that there must be many masters like Harold who must've been squirreling away resources for a very long time, which would mean that they would be sitting on their islands with heaps of crystals ready to be stolen away by anyone who was capable of doing so. Hence, he had asked the system to find him an island based on the beggar king's data that was close to being completely depleted.

There were different fates for such places, but many defaulted to the one where they would try to retrofit themselves to perform other tasks. After a quick scan, the system had given him three options, of which the one he had chosen was supposed to still be a month away from the point of complete depletion.
