"Using the Hope, docked at the edge of the Arctic Continent, as our base, we will dispatch personnel deep into several designated locations across the Arctic Continent to investigate why the scientific research stations built there have lost contact."
"This is the operational guideline for this mission."
"Also, most of the scientific personnel aboard will remain stationed on the ship for the time being. Only a small number will accompany the exploration teams, ensuring that technical support can be provided immediately when necessary."
