Keywords; "appears"; "legendary".

Anyways, the point is that there are currently reliable rumors circulating through secret channels about the "tree". Its existence is not even 100% confirmed at this point, and much less is actually know about the tree itself.

BJJ tries his hardest to find his crowbar, but just can't seem to find it. Because of his searching, he has ended up right underneath the grill. One edge is slightly ajar and two voices flow through:
Gruff Voice: I'm telling you! We have to find another way!
English Voice: But what if their is no other way? My orders are to find out what's so special about it. If one silly little ghost tribe gets in the way, so what?
Gruff Voice: Look, I know what I was told, and the Muras don't lie. If you go past the border, you'll get in some deep trouble. You mark my words.
English Voice: *mutters something*

The two men stop talking. BJJ stops and thinks, messing around with the flashlight, but can't come to any conclusions about the conversation just yet. Maybe some more thought later?

The plastic on the bottom of the flashlight pops open, and something small drops out into your hand, but you can't see or tell what it it.

I've said enough The "tree" is in the middle of a chunk of "unexplored and uninhabited territory", basically, so yeah. Military is there for "recon" by which I mean "greedy zerg rush to grab an unconfirmed artifact because of its potential power."
