Expedition hasnt activated yet, so plenty of time to catch up for other platforms not yet updated. There are hexagons around the anomaly/nexus mission giver. Were they always hexagons? ---

I found breakfast at the shop. And coffee. Nothing at the anomaly I can see that stands out yet. I think we can do the expedition again on a new save so I imagine we can do it three times, and since expedition rewards are account wide, I dont see why we cant do the phases for each team. This RGB stuff definitely hasnt made me think the ARG is any less connected to being possibly official now. Stupid @M1Silencer and their stupid RGB analyses immediately came to my stupid mind. 😂 (note: none of what they’ve done is stupid, thats just me kicking myself) ---

Interesting expedition; I wonder if there are any actual differences between the teams besides the names. Also, it looks like I just got one of the last things from my wishlist: enemies with multitools (which was step one in finishing my original wishlist). We shall see…after I trudge through the workday as usual. 🙂 ---

I was leaning towards Weavers just because I like stories, love to spin a good yarn. > [@LordMarkov](#): > > Also, it looks like I just got one of the last things from my wishlist: enemies with multitools Been with you on that, lore wise ive been hoping to be hunted by corrupted travellers sent by null to gather the last of the creators echoes so it could fulfill the “prophecy” of being a content complete traveller and finally gain the love of the atlas/finish the story in the final vision of the Atlas. I was saying in Voyagers Haven last night what I want most from the update is more lore or another lore based expedition, we got so many in a row in 2024, looks like my wishes were granted. My next wish. Activate the expedition, Sean! 😂 [Next page](https://forums.atlas-65.com/t/the-swarm-expedition-22/9401.md?page=2)
