Mm-hmm. We know from prior information that they have been breeding plants at their destination, the Oeste base. First, let's look for any anomalies in the vegetation.
No objections.
But let's try to stay stealthy first.

Mm, that sounds reasonable.
Are you sure about the warding?
I'll take that as a yes.

Good.
The two of them have set up a ward to minimize the amount of leakage magic.

This will make them undetectable by magic.
That's good.

Then let's get started.
The two units roughly search the area around their destination. The reason is that the anomalies in the vegetation cannot be localized, considering how long it has been there.

And it hits the figure.
1, what about this?

2 pointed to a vine crawling on the ground.
It is a plant similar to the kudzu that grows in modern Japan.
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
It is a member of the Fabaceae family and has rhizobium in its roots, making it adaptable to poor soil. It is a perennial plant, so the above-ground parts die in winter and the underground tuberous roots overwinter.
It is tolerant of low and high temperatures, as well as dryness and humidity.
Like the Japanese kudzu, the starch contained in the huge tuberous root is edible.

Mm, that's probably true. This plant is found on the Laurentian continent, but not here on the Rasilian continent.
Then, we should investigate the distribution of this plant, and find the Oeste base near the center of the plant, right?
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
I agree.
With that in mind, the two of us began a search of the area to determine the distribution of kudzu.

However, the kudzu is very fertile, and the total land area they investigated was 200 square kilometers.
But thanks to their efforts, they were able to find the center of the area.

This must be the center. The margin of error is about 20 meters.
That's good enough. Let's see if we can't find anything.

Got it.
The two units split up and begin searching the area.

Even though the two-person cell is the basic method of operation, they are in a circle with a radius of 20 meters. There was no problem at all.
Half an hour later, 1 (Uno) discovers an unnatural rise in the ground surface. It was a cylinder-shaped rise about one meter in diameter and one meter high.

It was covered with soil, stones, and plant roots, but its center seemed to be made of metal.
It was too thin to be an air vent or ventilation opening, so it must have been part of an antenna.

So you're saying there's something underground we're after?
No, it's too early to tell. It's hard to imagine an above-ground facility this high above the base that would be vulnerable to detection.
Indeed.

So the two of us decided to find another one, preferably two, of these ground installations ......, or what's left of them. So they decided to find another one, preferably two, of these ground installations, even wreckage.
That way, they could pinpoint the location of the base more precisely.

This time, we need to search a larger area than before. Let's widen the radius to 50 meters for now.
Should we split up?
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
No. We'll be too far away from each other this time. We should keep them closer to each other, even if it's less efficient.
So, they decide to search at a distance of 10 meters from each other.

And then .......
There it is. Antenna tracks.

If we can find all three, we should be able to pinpoint its center.

We will search for the three antenna traces, hypothetically forming a triangle with its vertex at the center ......, or in this case, the center of gravity .......

How's it looking?
I can't find it.
Are we looking in the wrong place, ......?

We've used the traces of three antennas as a baseline, but that's not enough to determine the base's location 100 percent.

It's also possible that the magical minds controlling ...... the Oeste base are thinking in a very particular way.
What's that?
That's what Jonathan told me. Oeste Station had a new generation of masters, whose ideas may differ from those of the old generation.

Based on this expectation, the two bodies have been suppressing the leakage of magic power, but they have decided to break the boundary.
This will make them easier to detect.
