“However their plans to establish a permanent stronghold in this town were delayed indefinitely.”

“The constant bombing attacks from the station above eventually forced the Protectorate to evacuate the embassy building and retreat into the streets of Junkyard where they set up camp, constantly fighting off incursions by the Drones.”

“But they held.”

“As they eventually would, by pitting the ambitions people within the Black Eels against the current leader, promising them money and status within their organization.”

“The peace brokered with Rathound King and flooding of burrowers ushered a new time of peace and prosperity for Camp Hathor. A life of a Hathorian was still a hard one, but it was a peaceful life.”

“Whatever chaos was transpiring around, the tranquil haven of Camp Hathor remained the major supply of food in the South Underrail for years to come.”

“With burrowers out of the way, the life in Camp Hathor returned to what was considered to be 'normal', with Rathound King still there, prowling the shadows, setting up deadly traps and picking up stray Hathorians.”

“With Rathound King out of the way, Hathorians were able to withstand the onslaught of the ever increasing population of burrowers; though just barely.”

“Many Hathorians left their homes in search for easier life in other communities, while some, it is said, formed another camp in an unknown location.”

“Those that stayed eventually learned how to live alongside burrowers, hunting them down and selling their meat. Their hunting prowess and fearlessness became legendary in whole of Underrail.”

“Eventually they even managed to tame the burrowers and some say even ride them... But the latter might be just an urban legend made up on the streets of Core City.”

“Besieged by ever increasing number of burrowers and suffering constant attacks from the Rathound King and his cohorts, Camp Hathor eventually succumbed to the pressure.”

“Some Hathorians scattered all across the South Underrail in search for easier life in other communities, while some, it is said, formed another camp in an unknown location.”

“In time, Rail Crossing was forced to ask for more direct assistance from the Protectorate.”

“During the final battle, a platoon of Protectorate soldiers arrived in the nick of time, repelled the invaders, chasing them down and killing most of them. Thus saving Rail Crossing.”

“The price of this, of course, was Rail Crossing giving up its independence and integrating into the United Stations.”

  • Balor is alive

Core City

Narration Condition(s)

“Life in Core City went on as before. Caged by the city's high concrete walls and mesmerized by violent entertainment - workers, merchants, bandits, zoners, all struggled onward, while oligarchs played their shadowy games.”

  • Default ending

“At least for a while... Because for one oligarch, however, the game got personal.”

“Even though the Zone Rats managed to take the Black Crawler territory, it came with too high a price... With all the leaders dead, the rats soon abandoned ship and the dream of the city's forth power sank.”
