The experiences that the team had in the North Pole, was a mix of interesting, and utterly boring events. They spent a lot of time doing repetitive tasks, most of their time actually, and things only got interesting when they saw dragons!
Furthermore, the task of finding dragon eggs had been daunting, as they had to try everything in order to adapt to the challenges of the arctic. It had been challenging for them, as they were not used to such an environment whatsoever.
Once they started getting used to the environment, and actually reached a milestone, they discovered that it was brutal to steal a mother’s unborn kids, despite what their mission encouraged. At least, they were convinced that it was brutal, so they ended up giving the eggs back, which at first felt nice and like the most moral thing to do, but this also had a negative effect on their minds later on, as they could feel their brain slowing down.
