After a full year playing this game, I finally saw what you were talking about. I thought everyone meant the rotted 90%eaten corpses near the soulstealer, but you actually meant the fresh recognizable bodies south of The Three Statues in the first big open area !!!

All my teams have partially explored AP before completing the Umpani/Trang peace mission. My 7th team never went up there until *after* destroying the Dark Savants ship.
