Miri's a city girl. And when she was growing up on Surebleak, the tollbooths were still operational. Outside the city probably wasn't anything she ever thought about, as she was too busy trying to stay alive .

Story-time-now, I can't see her mounting An Expedition to explore the outback, either; she's still got most of her business in the city and on the port. Quite probably, there's a team or two of Surebleak Scouts on the case, but we haven't told their stories yet, either.

In general, we only mention stuff that furthers the story (or will further a story down the road). Excursionary chapters about the landscape really isn't something we've much done.
