The Extraction Examiner: An ARC Raiders Fan Newspaper
Help Wanted. Survival Not Guaranteed.
I started The Extraction Examiner because someone needs to write this stuff down—assuming I make it back with my notes. From our office in Dam Battlegrounds’ Admin Building, I’m collecting Raider stories, field reports, rumors, and advice usually learned the painful way.
The desk is barely standing, we’re running low on supplies, and every trip outside might be my last. If you’ve got a story, a spare pair of hands, or goods you can leave at the Admin Building, I could use the help. Knock first. I’m already nervous enough.
These stories deserve to survive—even if I don’t.
From the Editor’s Desk
The truth has a way of getting lost topside—usually somewhere between the first gunshot and the extraction alarm. That’s why Patty O’ Baggins founded The Extraction Examiner: to record the stories, warnings, discoveries, and questionable decisions Raiders bring home. If he makes it back, you’ll read about it.
