Final Episode: Storyteller gets bored(As much as I hate to kill 'quality', I can't say I find it much fun to continue detailing this failed outpost. As I worked far ahead and would prefer to not shift through hundreds of cataloged images I have to edit *shudder* BTI does not like wasting resources on solved matters more than they need to. Active routine updated ventures are a better course of action. However, you may view the untampered remnant log files. Enjoy, or Cringe in disgust. Either way, the story must end!!)16th Granite, 202, Early Spring
I overheard one of the employees speak, said elves are coming. What the hell?
This will be amusing.
21st Granite, 202, Early Spring
I expected as much would happen, it seems as soon as our guests had arrived they were welcomed in with open arms. Only to be sealed in by order of our Overseer. I must admit, it is a humurous site. I suspect the tactic is to starve them to death and retrieve their items once they are nothing but corpses.
There will be no escape Elves. Not for you.
26th Granite, 202, Early Spring
Something has been bothering me...
Something strange, people here aren't going insane. No one has any complaints... ever. I think they put something in the water to supress workers. I know it!
21st Slate, 202, Mid-Spring
More employees have arrived. The Compound is starting to expand. I can still hear the elves behind the wall..
"Hello? Anyone out there? Can you please let us out? We can't seem to find the door... Hello?"
Their cries for help go unanswered. Can't help but snicker at them. We can use the wood from their bodies I guess.
28th Slate, Late Spring
An employee handed me new orders from the Overseer. All I can say is our next project is to clear the tunnels of most of our stone debri. We are to commence the largest stone stock pile possible, and then fortify that position. Well, we needed something to do I guess..
9th Felsite, 202, Late Spring
I read a report recently, apparently one of the low level workers developed some kind of artifact. Using one of our valuable pieces of wood no doubt. It's just a freaking cup! With a picture of a cup on it! By Armok!
But, apparently, around here that qualifies you for promotion... The report said the cup is placed at around 15600 in value. I don't care, it's just a cup! We could have used the wood for beds. God knows we need them. Anyway, her name was Meng, our new Wood Utility Foreman.
Great, I can see all our future supplies (as soon as those elves starve to death behind that wall) of wood being wasted on wooden toy logs!
11th Felsite,
Someone reported loud muffled noises emenaiting from the Trade Depot check point. Sounds like some of our elven buddies have finally snapped. My only regret is that the wall that holds them in was not made of wood.
16th Felsite
The Incident as reported by Securituy Officer Ilral Tabarlolor. (Now acting Sector Chief)
God damnit, HQ is not going to like the news of this. Cerol was one of their most prized assets. How could she be so careless!?
I finished my report of what happened.
As follows:
Mid-day.
Overseer Cerol Rablibash, former Sector Chief, had conducted seize intervention proceedure protocols on a passing Elven caravan. Caravan members arrived at Depot checkpoint where they were held captive and placed in restraint.
Days later, after it was believed the operation was a success a worker heard a violent scream behind the containment field. The Overseer went to investigate, suspecting all subjects had died. She ordered a field section be torn down for an inspection of the area.
Eye witness accounts state The Overseer was then ambushed out of the shadows by a giant stark raving mad Elf. Upon further inspection of the area, it is believed the elf murdered his kin and animals. We think he went mad with hunger and decided elf meat is as good as anything else.
We don't know what happened, Cerol is an experienced Field agent. I interrogated the man who saw her last (the worker ordered by the Overseer herself) He stated that when he was deactivating the section that she seemed drowsy and was laying down on the ground. He didn't think he should stop the command in fear of retribution.
Once the fighting started The Overseer managed to wound the crazed elf multiple times before suffering a fatal blow, we believe the elf struck her in the chest and the vibrations from the strike somehow exploded her heart, killing her instantly. Unable to verify. But whole body was intact.
Besides her personal hunting dog, no other casualties reported.
End Report.
God damnit..
Sir?
There going to blame someone for this, and it's not going to be me!
...
Soldier, I want you to bring me someone responsible, someone, recent, new. With rank. I want them to blame. Agent Cerol was experienced, she'd never sleep on the job. I'm sure she must have been poisoned. I've heard reports that the MAU Foreman has been acting suspicious recently. I've seen him around here more than a few times.
You detain him, and you make him pay for this. Understood?
Yes, sir!
Good, you are dismissed.
Sir.
What? I said you are dismissed.
The body, sir.
Dispose of it.
Yes, sir! *salutes and leaves*
Atleast this came with a promotion.
5th Hematite, 202, Early Summer
She died! And they just left her corpse out in the sun, oh god!
28th Hematite, 202, Mid-Summer
Strange, there are alot of pups being born... Are they trying to make an army of warbeasts or something? I tried asking a working but all he gave me was a blank stare and then I dismissed him as it was starting to freak me out.
9th Malachite, 202, Mid-Summer
Sector Chief here, we have been getting reports of an unusual sort. The Camels are starting raids on our hunting parties. I've stepped up training protocols to rectify this situation. Lost another unexperienced FAU member. Still haven't been able to locate the body, we think the camels are targeting us as a food source.
Sector Chief out.
17th Malachite, 202, Mid-Summer
Sector Chief here.
We located the mangled body, skull crushed in, Camel attack we believe. Strange though, it was found right next to the mountain, Camels don't usually make attacks so close to the rock.
I ordered his body to be disposed of and his equipment returned.
Something else, HQ sent word, no more workers this season. Risk factors are to be reduced before additional Dwarven resources granted. I have upgraded some safety protocols, this should improve the life span of the workers.
Sector Chief out.
15th Limestone, 202, Early Autumn
Sector Chief here, arrival of unauthorized merchant party from Cog Amal. Execute seize intervention proceedures.
Yes, sir!
5th Sandstone, 202, Mid-Autumn
Sector Chief here, reports in, BTI Employee 011 Designation Mosus Ledirtir has claimed hold over MAU Productions Unit. He has requested various materials that we currently are out of stock.
Upon informing 011 he shouted at security personell and barricaded the door to the PU. I've ordered a containment field around the PU until Employee 011 is neutralized.
9th Timber, Late Autumn
Captives have started to break, resource acquisition estimated in a couple of months.
15th Timber, 202, Late Autumn
Sector Chief here, we have reports of hysterical screaming coming from behind the containtment field in the Productions and Ore Refinement zone. We believe 011 has snapped.
I have ordered a small team to neutralize him, permanently.
21st Timber, 202, Late Autumn
Chief, we have neutralized the threat.
Roger that Team Leader, Good work.
You are dismissed.
Yes, sir!
Sector Chief report, we have neutralized former BTI employee 011 Designation Mosus Ledirtir. This would be our first employee death due to unexplained inoperability. I will investigate further and provide a detailed report on what I find.
27th Timber, 202, Late Autumn
Sector Chief Ilral Tabarlolor summons a meeting in his office with SP Team Leader about recent FAU fatalities.
Goden, You need to explain to me...
Sir?
Tell me why we have already lost TWO FAU team members and one FAU Assist HK.
Sir, Giant Eagle, Sir.
What?
It's surpassed our out defenses, thats when the asset engaged the targeted and was decimated. the HK unit was also destroyed. It's offspring are still at the site. We currently do not have a visual on the Eagle but assume it might approach the main compound.
Damnit, you fix this *cough* DO IT!
Yes, sir!
I need to fix this before HQ hears about my short comings.
16th Moonstone

23rd Granite, 203, Early Spring
Calling all personell, resecure the compound, Execute recovery protocols. I want answers as to why this happened. Who they were working for! Our losses were unacceptable, there will be heavy reprecussions for failure!
That is all! Return to work.
25th Granite, 203, Early Spring
*Play ambush music*
OH GOD!
Witness superior modifcations that only BTI can offer.
Perfection.
NOOOOOO! UNIT 01!!!!!!!!!!!!
3rd Slate, New SP Team Leader Urdim ushrirvabok has a meeting with Sector Chief. Who is still in recovery.
Explain yourself TL.
Sir...
5th Hematite, 203, Early Summer
Sector Chief here, I've developed plans for a new WBU, Operation K-9 DeathMechs is entering phase 1. The Company has yet to issue more dwarven resources, they still don't feel this place is a secure investment yet.
This will change all of that.
Sector Chief out.
11th Hematite, 203
Sector under Alert! Defcon Orange!
Giant Scorpion spotted in vicinty, casualties: 1.
Damnit, another specialist of the FAU. DAMNIT!
Activating search and desearch protocols! Activate everyone! This thing needs to die! Secure the zone!
12th, Hematite, 203
Ambush! Where the hell did they come from!?
No one dies today, no one! BTI demands perfection!
Acceptable. Flawless Victory!
24th Hematite, 203, Early Summer
Despite high speed mobilization, forces were unable to randevou with the Scorpion threat.
Team Leader was regenerating at the time of second scout incursion.
Unacceptable Team Leader, next you finish your mission, no matter what. Or we will find a replacement for you.
Sector Chief out.
28th Malachite, 203, Mid-Summer
I have heard reports, our SPTL was conducting strange activity this morning. Was seen top soil scavaging remains for something, and commanered a work station. I haven't been able to recieve any more intel.
14th Limestone, 203, Early Autumn
Supply caravan is here.
24th Limestone, 203, Early Autumn
Supply caravan left, no trade initiated. Routine supply drop.
15th Sandstone, 203, Mid-Autumn
HQ finally sent us some new resources. I've sent them to the DRM.
Preperations to enter phase 2 are almost complete.
16th Timber, 203, Late Autumn
Sector Chief here, everything is moving... slowly. We have fortified the compound to prevent any further breaches. We estimate begining of phase 2 within 6 months. Unacceptable.
19th Timber, 203, Late Autumn
I have had reports, a PUS designation Goden Koncog has finished creating something, unauthorized. He is lucky he is such an asset or he would have faced summary executions like the others.
We don't know precisely what he made, but he told us it was a prototype for something called "Gundam". I don't know what that is, but I want one.
6th Moonstone, 203, Early Winter
Sector Chief here, I'm back at optimal efficiency.
17th Moonstone, 203, Early Winter
After years of complications, I've been briefed the Irrigation system has been completed. This is a first step to a larger more complex system. But it's needed. We can begin the next phase of the FAU.
17th Opal, Mid-Winter
Sir, we've secured the area. Suffered some losses.
Unacceptale Team Leader. You have 6 months to improve our defensives, failure to comply will result in immediate termination.
Yes, sir!
18th Granite, 204, Early Spring
Detained elven spies.
22nd Granite, 204, Early Spring
Zombie Mountain Goats have began an incursion on the Compound. Team Leader has mobilized defenses to neutralize the threat.
14th Slate, Mid Spring
Subjects detained, mission waittilltheysnapanddie underway.
21st Felsite, 204, Late Spring
Sector Chief here, I've recieved a bonus from HQ. With additional dwarven resources granted. We are commencing phase 2 of the project. Expansion and Exploration. Team Leader tells me our defenses are still only at 60% effectiveness. I told him that our defences should be at 80% by now and I will accept no more failures. He is currently overseeing the improvements personally.
This project will succeede. BTI demands it.
4th Hematite, 204, Early Summer
Commander, report.
We've lost another Specialist sir. Leopard. We believe the elves planted it in retaliation of their 'mysterious' losses.
I trust you can fix this, Commander.
Go.
Yes, sir! I'll make sure target is neutralized, personally.
Mission was a success. No further casualties. Mission success rate 80%. Mission Rating: B+.
Unacceptable, recommend torture to motivate forces to achieve higher success rating. End report.
18th Hematite, 204, Early Summer.
So, Chief...
E..excuse me Chairman.. I didn'-
Yes, you know the heavy amount of interest BTI has in this operation here, this outpost, if you can call it that.
I Agree Chairman.. I.. I know it-
Yes, feed me your excuses another time, I see you have sustained injuries.
Ye-yes Chairman, I was injured on the way here, a goblin struck my convoy and I-
Save your excuses Chief, I'm having you replaced. I will find someone more... effecient.
Wa-WAIT! Y-YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!!!!
*bolt shot*
Guards, escort the body out of my new office.
Yes, M'am!
19th Hematite, 204, Early Summer
Congratulations Commander.
M'am?
Your new promotion.
Yes, M'am!
You are dismissed.
*salute*
20 Hematite, 204, Early Summer
M'am.
Yes, Chief?
Bad news, we've discovered this whole zone is flooded, we have no room to expand.
*bolt shot*
*bolt shot suicide*
The end.
(
Eventually I developed containment fields in which I'd starve trespassers when they entered my Depots. Just for fun. Here is what things looked like, and some things of interest. 
(Yes, well as you can no doubt see, BTI was disappointed in the loss of this asset and have reimbursed all families involved with a pittance, to be payed in full upon penalty of forced labor.
BTI, wave of the future.)Oh, this is what I did with Kivish:
