The Croc Tribe continues with its heavy militarization. By now, the wall is almost entirely repaired and is ready for use if necessary, leaving the Croc Swamp sealed against any ground-based invasion.
Under the direction of old Major Colan, hundreds of crocodiles descend into the abandoned tunnels dug by the Republic of the Claw. Croc engineers start conducting maintenance inspections to check the stability and safety of the tunnels so that a small force of soldiers can be headquartered within them.
Sobek: "...Oh, there's the Queen. Dang, this isn't going well. Eh, it was nice while it lasted."
Sobek jumps backward and throws a fire chi smoke grenade to his feet, clouding the area. He dives into a river leading to the West Sea, and crocs swim after him.
~Elsewhere~ Lyn watches this from a telescope at the top of the Lions' tower.
Lyn: "So Sobek was not the true successor to the Crocs' throne. That... actually explains a lot. We'll need to see if this Queen has anything to do with Primordium, though it doesn't seem like she does."
Lyn has lions radio Lycor to tell him about what's happened here.
Lycor: "So the plan to get Sobek out of the picture didn't exactly work out... Well, it seems he won't be leading the Crocs from here on anyhow. Change of plans: have all our forces leave the Crocodile Swamp. The region isn't very useful to us anymore as it is, and our continued claim there will only cause us unnecessary conflicts. The only reason I had you stay there was to lead Sobek into a trap, but that clearly won't be happening. Now, listen closely...
The Lions pack up everything they had here, and leave the Croc Swamp. The only trace left of the Lion Tribe here is the stronghold they built in the north.
{JAMMERS! -Chima Alliance- ONLY!} Before leaving the fortress, the Lions plant fire chi bombs into the walls and floors; the bombs will be automatically activated under certain conditions. A small force of Lions stays behind, and they go into the old tunnels the Republic of the Claw had dug beneath the Croc, Wolf, and Eagle territories.
OOC: Those jammers are nulled; I had originally thought/planned for Lobo to retreat to here.

Under the direction of old Major Colan, hundreds of crocodiles descend into the abandoned tunnels dug by the Republic of the Claw. Croc engineers start conducting maintenance inspections to check the stability and safety of the tunnels so that a small force of soldiers can be headquartered within them.
By this stage, the upper section of the tunnel network has been scouted, renovated and thoroughly mapped. Crocs begin establishing saferooms at regular intervals, packed with non-perishable food and basic survival equipment in case the tribe ever has to retreat below ground. Others continue exploring deeper, overlaying their maps with conventional ones to locate the borders with Wolf and Eagle territories. Tunnels leading to these areas are kept under constant observation.
In the Swamp, the tribe's standing army has grown by several hundred, with many more in reserve. The perimeter wall is fully repaired and manned, whilst Major Colan orders a full review of all coastal defences.

-Aparrently in one instance, a small underground home was found when this tunnel network was being excavated, the event kinda went a little something like this according to the workcrews interviews for the Raven Report.-
"Well, we were diggin' and diggin until we found this small out-croppin'. we dug deeper and the wall gave weight and appeared form this wall. We apparently knocked down one wall to a bathroom of sorts!"
"We saw a guy, bathing in a stone-made tub with some make-shift plumbing attached to the thing and we looked over to see on the counter wasattire that we think is attached to this Forgotten people group. So we then asked the croc that was bathin and he freaked out and screamed. We screamed too and ran away like little girls..."
"...and then we came back and then this Croc, in this attire, jumped out at us and began firing some weirdo assault rifle at us. We decided to subdue him with our minin' equipment and thus thats how we discovered the possibility of a underground encampment of Forgotten Crocs around these parts. But it was only just the one and i bet he didn't get the memo his freinds up and lef our territory, so we gave him to the authorities."
"Here's to hopin there no more weirdos like that guy we discovered around in these parts..."

Since King Crogar's anti-Forgotten laws remain in effect, the above Croc is taken to a secret service facility for questioning, whilst the area where he was found is thoroughly searched.

The coastal review is completed, and hundreds of architects, engineers and contruction workers are transported west. Passing ships observe massive amounts of soil and rock being dug out to make way for a network of bunkers and artillery emplacements all along the coast.

After several weeks of work, strong foundations have been established along most of the coastline, and architects are finalising plans for the defences that will rise from them. The full industrial capacity of the Swamp seems to be pouring into the construction work, which will establish a full perimeter and turn the Croc homeland into a fortress.

Work on the foundations is fully completed and the stage two begins, starting at the northern edge of the Swamp's coastline. Huge artillery cannons are placed at regular intervals, whilst dozens of bunkers, sniper posts and reinforced walls fill the gaps between them.

After many weeks of work, close to a third of the coastline has been secured in this way. Progress shows no sign of stalling.
Nearly two thirds of the coast is now fully protected. Whilst most effort continues to go into securing the southern third, a few engineers are called underground to design and install defences in the tunnels that go into Wolf and Eagle territories. Meanwhile, the explorers have finished mapping the lowest levels of the Scoprion tunnels.

Since King Crogar's anti-Forgotten laws remain in effect, the above Croc is taken to a secret service facility for questioning, whilst the area where he was found is thoroughly searched.
-It was a fair bit of a search, but coming up from recent findings in a shoebox, many documents containing old outdated reports on what was "The Uprising" from the Outlands, detailed documents on Scortica Breen... remember him? and his little brother Scorm, however, some of these documents had some hasty scribbled on writing detailing now the current location of Scorm and his family somewhere in the Outland Mountains (or whatever that place was called that The J has, Scorpix City was it called? ). All underlined with a large and frankly unnerving-looking "T E R M I N A T E" under all that data.-
-Seems this Forgotten Croc was going to send out an order to the Forgotten to find Scorm and finally kill him once and for all after all the shenanigans he has been through... maybe the crocs can handle this themselves and blame the Forgotten for it...?-

OOC: Scorm and his family were last in Scorm City (maybe I should rename it to Republic City or something, so it won't be as easy to mix-up with the other city named after a scorpion), which is in the Outland jungle.

The Forgotten prisoner is upgraded to a high-security cell, whilst copies of the documents are quickly sent to the King for consideration.
