Hm. What if this was a test run, and the next thing to be stolen would be much more critical?

This is certainly possible, though we could only blindly speculate what that might be, I think.

>You continue on, then head toward the Human Village. It's not a hard trip, mostly, but you have to find your bearings and return to normal altitude. But, the village is not hard to find.
>Returning and viewing from above, you see a lot of the crowd in the village has dispersed. The main area is still quite busy, but not nearly as crowded as before.
