---

SCENE LOG:	An Adorable Mediator
LOCATION:	Old Petra
PARTICIPANTS:	2LT Voss, Lily Keil, Lunata Croze
RELICS RECOVERED:	Encrypted Metal Demon intelligence data
PRE-EXPLORATION SUMMARY:	Site approached to investigate rumors regarding battle taking place at site and appearance of a giant during said battle. Site alleged to be used as Metal Demon base of operations for Adlehyde area based on intel. Age of site observed to be largely recent, some older structures from within last hundred years. Much of is underground, consisting of mines and fortifications.
EXPLORATION SUMMARY:	Area largely underground, showing direct signs of pitched battle at surface. Interior showed use of highly advanced electronic systems, including hard light illusory devices, light-emitting diodes, audio engineering, and computer hardware. Site was not entirely devoid of Metal Demon presence. Intelligence retrieved from computer systems regarding Metal Demon ARM plans. Please see attachment; much of this appears to be encrypted. The Metal Demons appear to have an interest in the legal and illegal trade of ARMs across the continent, particularly in devices dating back to the alleged war 1000 years ago. Many of these are located in the Badlands, and the town 'Little Twister' is also specifically named in a note instructing to 'follow the market'. They may be planning to trade or more likely to assault several of these routes and locations.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:	Investigate validity of recovered information. Further forays to site may be of interest.
COMMENTS:	Attachment: Unencrypted list of known supply routes across the continent involved in the legal (and not-so-legal) trade of ARMs. Sources for Dragon Fossils (for wholesalers), refineries, and manufacturers have also been earmarked on the list.
