RESETTLEMENT UPDATE
Surveyors from Imperial Mining Office have located survivors from the Great Winter, colonists that for one reason or another had not been evacuated before the impact of War Titan Typhon. The survivors are a band of individuals that have scrounged resources to survive during our five year long absence. The band, settled near the Oil Rig and in the contested and contaminated zones did not rejoice at the reunion and used force to drive the surveyors off.
Calypso Law Enforcement Administration speculates that these wastelanders may be the bandits that have scourged the area around the Oil Rig in the recent past.
Surveyors were also surprised to find a streak in the desert near the oil rig that the wildlife seemed to avoid. On further analysis, it was due to the presence of toxic and radioactive substances in the sand. These had apparently been placed there on purpose to drive off dangerous creatures from the area. The perpetrator has not been identified, and although IMO admits that these streaks are practical for them, they deny any knowledge and blame the wastelanders, claiming that they probably want a clear path to the rig in order to raid it.
Imperial Zoological Scouts report that Foul have suddenly changed appearance. The phenomenon seems to be related to the Atrox' change of appearance, and scientists are moving away from the hypothesis that it was an adaptation during the Great Winter. Scientists are not ready to give an alternative explanation as yet.
