"... obviously a bit of artistic licence had to be used as well."

I couldn't go into any depth as it would have meant adding spoilers but whereas most of the scenes are from the perspective of the reporter, there are scenes involving one particular member of the patrol that had to be creative simply because the truth will never be known.

The seed for that part of the story was planted earlier when the group were discussing the definition of "Kekexili".

Cheers Trev.
