'something secret' approximately 70 miles, in any direction, is in no way a 'solid lead'. would you like the exact math for the square mileage to be covered in a ring between 60 and 80 miles out? it's a lot.
or is there new intel that turns this half-remembered overheard scrap of a red herring into an actual solid lead?
I agree, I want to keep scouting. But let's find this bridge first and make sure that we're protecting the teams that are in the swamps. Once we have these waystations set up enough that weaker teams can travel to and across the bridge without needing as much protection, we can discuss where to look next.
No, of course not. There are the ruined outskirts we've seen, and those cabins... And the two other cities(?) marked on the map.
I get the implication that the things in the swamp are the locals left outside the relative safety of the city. I think it's more likely that they're the previous set of the Augmented.
My question in this case is: why are those things specifically in the swamps? We haven't encountered humanoid mutations like that--the ones that are so uncomfortably reminiscent of our augmentations--anywhere else.

1) There are ever so many secrets, don't get fixated on just one, they're lying to us in LOADS of ways
2) The swamps are enormous and we have only just started
3) There are plenty of ways to camouflage things in wild territory, especially in swamp land
4) Okay actually which secret are we talking about though

Wherever it is that all the scientists and engineers went. 70 miles out.
I know there's more going on than just that, but it's the most solid lead we have.
[It's anything but solid, as distorted as it's become through this game of telephone.]
If it were somewhere in the swamps, they wouldn't have so many people crawling through them. Sooner or later someone would find something.

If it's too much for you I can take Set.
Or go alone.

I'd rather be out of the city.

Maybe we'll learn something new by then.

we haven't encountered things like that anywhere else

There had to be something left.
