The forces that opposed Force Station Steelhead during the recent storm have largely fled the area, though remnants of the undead horde still remain in small pockets throughout the region. More recently, however, the Hunter-Patriots have been pressing in on the outpost and the Oceanica wreckage, searching for something among the debris. In addition, reports from the field indicate that the terrorists are being assisted by known criminals, the members of a villain group that goes by the name of the Brain Trust. These villains' purpose in the area remains unknown.
