According to William's profound knowledge of the training manuals, the best way to execute this logistical loop was by starting their first resource expedition precisely on day ten. By that specific milestone, the critical early layout of their spiritual foundations would be firmly established and locked into their systems. Moving out into the world for a few days after that point wouldn't greatly affect their ongoing training progress or ruin their foundations.
Yet, if they failed to take this risk and refused to venture out for more resources, the defences would eventually drain completely and fail by the end of the second week. Without the arrays active, the base would have no answer against the threats of this zone, ending up causing everyone to lose their lives or lose the grand-sized base they had finally worked so hard to build.
"I need one of you to stay behind and lead the defences."
