Mine Deployment Instructions for Boom-Plex Oscillating Ordnance Mines
Boom-Plex puts the “boom” in BOOM!

Congratulations on purchasing or otherwise acquiring a full set (24 parts) of Boom-Plex Oscillating Ordnance Explosive Mines (BOOMs).
Instructions for use:
1. Carefully open packing crate and ensure no mines have shifted during transport. Opening packing crate recklessly could lead to inadvertent death or injury.

2. Remove each individual BOOM and carefully place on a cool, dry, flat surface. Do not place BOOMs too close to one another, as this could cause trigger fail-safes to catastrophically fail. Catastrophic trigger fail-safe failure could lead to inadvertent death or injury.
3. Once unpacking is finished, plant BOOMs one at a time on your minefield. Boom-Plex recommends keeping close track of where you place your new mines. Accidental mine rediscovery could lead to
inadvertent death or injury.
4. Continue to place mines at regular intervals until minefield is full. Once minefield is full, placement of additional mines is not recommended. Over-mining could lead to inadvertent death or injury.
5. Once mines are placed, do not have any further interaction with mines. Interaction of any kind with mines could lead to inadvertent death or injury.

6. And as always, please aim away from face. Failure to aim away from face could lead to inadvertent death or injury.

Thank you again for buying Boom-Plex Oscillating Ordnance Mines!

Explorer Lozok’s Log

Explorer Lozok’s Log
Crimson Isle Expedition, Day 17

I should never have come here alone. This place has nothing to offer but a useless death and pain without honor. Foul beasts that infest the amazing technology and golden glory of Eldan secrets long lost.

I speak, of course, of the vicious scrab. Their poison is pure distilled agony, their claws vile and infectious blades. I killed them by the score when I first arrived, and they fell easily to my blade.
But no matter how many I slew, more of them came. And soon I saw that the scrab I had slain upon my arrival were but the young, untested warriors of their kind. Once they were dead, the true nature of my enemy was revealed.

Monstrous in size, vicious in intent, they gave no quarter and neither did I. Yet they had the advantage of numbers. It is as the Warbringer says: a fight with no objective cannot ever be a victory, and this fight serves no purpose.
For the poison is in me now, and it has laid me low.

I cannot raise my blade as the vile substance burns through my veins. I can barely breathe, let alone fight. This is not the way for a Draken warrior to die. But die I will.

If you find this and your blood is Draken, if you read this and you are moved to return my bones to join my ancestors, I say no! Do not. I am not worthy to rest next to those great
Draken of old. I have been a fool. Unprepared. Arrogant. And in coming here against the orders of my superiors, I have wasted a life that could have served the Dominion. Now it ends.

Explorer Bozlo’s Journal

Explorer Bozlo’s Journal
Crimson Isle Expedition, Day 4

Why Bozlo come to this stupid place? Technology of course! But no tech worth this. The Zax can find his own tech. Bozlo just wants to take a nap.

Bozlo not afraid! Bozlo explore everywhere! Very brave Chua. Everyone knows this. But without logistical support, Bozlo can’t explore! Stupid DRED. Wouldn’t give Bozlo any of the experimental weapons Bozlo asked for.
The Zax says, “Stupid Bozlo doesn’t need weapons. The Zax needs weapons for the Zax’s team.” Should have told the Zax his stupid team needed good reconnaissance more than weapons.

Now Bozlo going to die from stupid scrab stings. Could have warned the Zax about scrab, but no. Had to drop in totally defenseless.

Bet that make the Zax feel stupid when he finds this. Scrab are going to eat up DRED agents for breakfast. Didn’t even get to see what Exiles up to. Didn’t get
close enough before stupid scrab jump out and poke poke poke with stingers! Now dying in a cave like an idiot.

Hope stupid scrab choke on Bozlo. Jerks. And hope the Zax gives good weapons to next explorer.

Megatech Manifesto

Lore

We, the Exiles of the Megatech Division, do solemnly swear to find and exploit Eldan technology wherever and whenever we find it.
We swear to do this work to the best of our ability.
We swear our work will be used against the oppressors of the Dominion.
We swear this technology will not be used against our fellow Exiles, even if they do not approve of our deeds.
We swear we will die before allowing Eldan technology into Dominion hands.

[What follows is a list of unfamiliar signed names – apparently the members of the Megatech Division. They do not appear to be a large group, meaning their efforts may be localized to the Crimson Isle area for now.]
