Chapter illustration.
It is night time, and the sky is full of stars. We can see the tops of the mountains. Tree characters are in the frame: the furthest away is Nikita, who is looking up at the stars. Second is Fausta, who is carrying her rifle and looking to the right. Up close in the foreground and only partially in the frame is Aurik.

MAPAS QUEM É QUE NÃO ADORA MAPAS

2 Panels.
Panel 1:
Four soldiers stand around Nikita as he opens the map. On his left are Aurik (with his helmet on) and Fausta. To his right, Steffano and Mikhail (eating a sandwish).
Panel 2:
A view of the map. It shows a river (marked as RIO PAIVA), and a road that goes across it (R326-1). Over the road, several locations have been signaled with a marker. One of them has an augur crown symbol, and it's the only one on the right side of the river. On the left side of the river, there are two big marks marking where the Unknown debris and the satellite remains can be found.
Nikita (off panel): We have confirmation of both the satellite's and the debris' locations. They are of difficult access and your time is short.
Aurik (off panel): The unknown debris are our priority, according to our Augur. Their spot is also easier to access; we could play it safe and leave the satellite for a following team.

Panel 1:
Mikhail interrupts the previous conversation. He's gesturing with one hand and holding a sandwish with the other, and talking with his mouth fool, food spit everywhere.
Mikhail: Alright guys, but consider this: Two groups: first checks on the satellite, second checks the thing.
Panel 2:
Aurik, helmet on, but gesturing lightly.
Aurik: We'd be spreading our forces too thin and hindering our ability to retaliate!
Mikhail (off panel) OH AURIK, COME ON!
Panel 3:
Mikhail is pointing at Aurik. Steffano is scratching the back of his neck again.
Mikhail: You're being overly cautious! The Lusitanians do not even live around here; what are the odds of facing them?
Panel 4:
Nikita, holding the map over a rock, interrupts his brother.
Nikita: If we saw the satellite crash, so may have them, Mikhail. We cannot assume they won't take action. Thoughts, Fausta?
Panel 5:
Fausta stands with a hand on her hip. The background shows an illuminating light coming from the heavens behind her as she explains the situation.
Fausta: According to Lusitanian religion, Angels and Saints live in the skies; this may very well be an event of some religious significance.
