Rooke creates a connection with the local Aboriginal people, and a young girl in particular: Tagaran, who teaches him words while also learning English.

When Silk finds the books, he wants them to become part of his reports on the colony to a publisher in London and tries to bribe Rooke to agree with him.

On the first night of the expedition, after Rooke finds out their true intent was to murder six Aboriginal People by beheading them, he leaves the party in horror.
