Location: Elysian Islands, Site Alpha-7
Today is the day. The day we've been preparing, planning, and dreaming for—for months. The day we might get rich, or we might go home empty-handed. The day we find out if this godforsaken rock in the middle of the Elysian Archipelago holds the treasure we've been chasing: oil. Black gold.
I've been working with this survey team for months, and I've seen it all—dry holes, gushers, and everything in between. But this… this feels different. Maybe it's the pressure. We've been constantly pressured by the Department of Minerals. The Bernard Empire has far less oil than it needs, and a large portion of the reserves was depleted in the recent war. So we had to find the oil fields quickly. They are the lifeblood of our country.
