Turn 10: Death Is Not the End
You were, frankly, annoyed at the whole thing. It was going by slowly, and you were sure that if it were not for the fact that half the people who were working on this project would rather be wishing to be fighting some foreign war someplace else, they would. This nation of mercenaries and outcasts was willing to listen to you and follow you out from hell, but that is not the point.
Progress was going slow. You had managed to make sure the river was seen, and with some clever working and engineering skills from some refugees, you were able to keep the water from being evaporated.
The effects, at least for the moment, were immediate. Life, fish, and algae were growing, and seaweed and other kelp were beginning to sprout and grow.
It was something.
Now you just needed to discover something amazing!
