Map of the Iron Province

TRANSCRIPT

I looked for anything out of the ordinary. Things that were clearly Eastman, and things that clearly were Hanes. After some time, I realized that Eastman spoke like a person, while Hanes, well he was an asshole. Using that, I think I found when Eastman took over.

June 7th, my second day in this place. I told Hanes about Emilie, and he went to check with Eastman about the switch-up. Prior to this, he always called me by the wielder designation, or as a 'Unit'. After June 7th, he referred to me as a more dignified 'Agent'. It must be here. So, I can conclude that the cult wouldn't've got to my device in time. And seeing that the cult has been so openly talking on these devices, I can conclude that STEEL can't see either. Explains why I've been isolated and nobody has reached out since. Not sure exactly how, perhaps that tracker was a bit more than that. But regardless, it was safe.

It took me a minute, but eventually I managed to remember the number to Brick's contact. Thank fuck it was pattern-based. I asked him if he had any active contacts in STEEL, and sure enough he did. I explained the situation. Everything.

No doubt some lucky STEEL soldier would love to claim credit for uncovering a cultist infiltrator, and who knows, maybe get some accommodations.

I did ask if there was any way they had means to get me into Paradise, but no luck. Informants are only that.

Still, if I survived, then I should resume that assignment again. That defector wasn't going anywhere. Better to do this under STEEL than the Cult as STEEL doesn't know that I'm not #40.

Early morning the next day, Major Anders reached out. He was the mastermind of the STEEL operation.

He acknowledged my situation, but ordered me to stay my course. They were going to intercept at an opportune time. All I had to do, was keep Eastman and Emilie happy.
