The idea of building an alien base in a village, was more absurd than helping the village itself. It was unheard of, because the terranidans were peaceful people who avoided conflict at all cost!
To go an extra mile just to weaponize a random pre-medieval village, sounded crazy. Most of the houses here had been made entirely out of wood, before they got utterly burned down.
How these villagers found wood in these flat-lands was still confusing, but that was not the point. They'd go from wooden houses, to metallic ones in just a snap! It didn't seem natural.
However, everyone was under the impression, that now was not the time to follow some mediocre rules. They had to survive, in whatever way possible!
Gustav was chosen to speak to the people, after a long chat with Tutan about the odds and ends. They made a basic plan, now it was just the matter of presenting it to all these people.
