At the end of week two, upon returning from action in the desert, Sam Winchester will alert Natasha of the decision of Free Cities officials to open a portal to Aquila. They agree that the lead obtained during an interrogation of a group of bandits is credible and worth further investigation. Sam will also tell Natasha that signs are pointing towards the coastline or large bodies of water and note that he plans to go with a party to investigate the shore. Sam will suggest other faction officials should facilitate similar travel arrangements.
