Mod:Fallout: The Frontier/Recon Intel Report

Recon Intel Report is a series of notes in Fallout: The Frontier. They denote the reconnaissance done by members of the Crusaders.

Anomalous Rain Zone - Recon Intel Report
{{Transcript|text= Anomalous Rain Zone in Bright Town Area

=
===============================

Threat Level: Black Recommendation: Discontinue reconnaissance. See additional notes.

Additional Notes:

In the anomalous zone, there is almost perpetual rain and the ground lacks the thick coverage of ice and snow present throughout the rest of the Frontier region.

We have been unable to collect sufficient data to understand the scientific workings of this anomaly, due to dangerous levels of radiation and infestation of ghoul-like creatures. Soil samples contain significantly more anthropogenic radionuclides than other areas of the Frontier.

Our hypothesis is this ecological change is somehow related to being ground zero of a very powerful nuclear weapon's strike. This is supported by a large bomb crater found within the zone, but the unique circumstances require more research to confirm the exact scientific processes at work here.

The casualties sustained during our excursions into the zone warrant stoppage of this project. Recommend further analysis of soil and rain samples, but to avoid any further excursions.}}

Illicit Organ Trafficking Operation - Recon Intel Report
{{Transcript|text= Illicit Organ Trafficking Operation

Threat Level: Green Recommendation: Discontinue reconnaissance. See additional notes.

Additional Notes: Despite following up on a number of leads and interrogating several suspected individuals, we can confirm that the Patch N' Go staff and the owner of the Wasted Angel are not running an organ-trafficking operation. No evidence was found that humans are being kidnapped, killed and having their organs sold to ghouls to replace their own failing internal organs.

This is nothing but a racist hoax propagated by some locals. The investigation has been closed.}}

RobCo Laundry Facilities - Recon Intel Report
{{Transcript|text= RobCo Laundry Facilities

Threat Level: RED

Additional Notes:

There is an astringent chemical stink effusing from behind the doors into the stairwell. We sent in several scouts with protective gear, however, the results were horrifying. They came out within a minute, gasping and coughing up a pink frothy sputum. Chemical burns marred any exposed skin. Charlene diagnosed them with acute chemical pneumonitis and minor radiation exposure.

We conjecture the Tower's chemical waste disposal system deteriorated and leaked onto this floor. Without the means to investigate further, the viability of the Tower as a base of operations may be in jeopardy. The chemical waste could spread to other floors, potentially killing us - even as we slept. Preliminary recon suggests that an old pre-war facility, called Fort Harrington, may have hazmat suits with sufficient SCBA gear to explore further.

A recon unit has been dispatched to Fort Harrington in hopes of recovering the aforementioned gear.}}

The Portland Exclave Millitia - Recon Intel Report
{{Transcript|text= Portland Exclave Militia

=
====

Base of Operations: Whisper Winds Cavern Leader: Deetz or Jacob (details not clear) Estimated Strength: 70 to 100 able-bodied adults. Well-stocked with mid-grade conventional weaponry. Threat Level: Yellow Recommendation: Continue to monitor AO. Missionaries should avoid contact. See additional notes.

Additional Notes: Whisper Winds Cavern is shanty town. It contains a medical center, a bar, a cantina, and a trading post plus several individual dwellings. A crude intercom system fashioned from parts of a bunker is used for communications. A variety of food crops are grown by utilizing UV lamps and rain water. A candlelit shrine carved out of a stalagmite sits in the middle of town to represent a tomb of someone called "the mother". Approach with caution, as they have demonstrated xenophobic tendencies. }}

The Putrid Horde - Recon Intel Report
{{Transcript|text= The Putrid Horde

====

Base of Operations: Hosford Abernathy Medical Centre Leader: Lord Putrid Estimated Strength: 15-20 Thralls, various automated defenses. Threat Level: Black Recommendation: Continue to monitor AO. Avoid contact. See additional notes.

Additional Notes:

Lord Putrid: Performs complex surgeries, but doesn't take any currency; he trades specimens instead. It is suspected that he performs illicit experiments on said specimens. No concrete confirmation, possibly just an urban legend based on his involvement in human trafficking. From the level of technology and Lord Putrid's prodigious medical acumen, he is likely being supported by an unknown benefactor from a technologically-advanced organization, possibly Enclave.

Defenses -- Entryways are monitored via security cameras and fortified with electrified blast doors that discharge a shock of an estimated 1500 Volts. The internal layout is unknown; our assets were not allowed past the waiting area.

Thralls: Bald with deep facial scars and have a flat affect. Assets noted an outburst berserker rage, taking five men to restrain him and a nurse with sedatives to stop the threat. Likely this berserker rage is a product of Psycho use or massive amounts of Buffout. Potentially dangerous in groups.

Eyebots: During attempted infiltration, assets were attacked by a red and white eyebot. It had been rigged with powerful explosives to detonate upon its destruction.

Recommending to avoid further contact unless via a large scale tactical assault. }}

Unknown Subterranean Structure - Recon Intel Report
{{Transcript|text= Unknown Subterranean Structure

=
====

Threat Level: Green Recommendation: Discontinue reconnaissance. See additional notes.

Additional Notes: Sensory equipment indicates energy radiation patterns are concurrent with a large subterranean structure. Possibly an abandoned Enclave bunker or unmarked Vault. No discernable entry point. Threat analysis: Low priority target for reconnaissance, as it is unlikely there is any threat derived from this structure or inhabitants. Due to slight risk of Enclave Power-Armored hostiles, recommending the use of Faraday cages and a loadout of EMP weaponry for initial breach, if a recon team is ever reassigned to this AO.}}
