10:13are the atcoons they are a tribe native to that area of alaska where the power station was built
10:19they are hostile to outsiders lj may be right they use sabotage to drive out strangers i don't know
10:26none of this makes sense i don't believe the atcoons sabotaged our equipment and i don't think it
