[2020] Somewhere on Hoxxes is an outpost. An outpost that has been seen by Dwarven eyes.

Somewhere on Hoxxes there is an outpost. It was once a Dwarven outpost, but no longer; the minehead resource pod was launched, and the miners escaped. But the outpost is not abandoned, oh no, it is not abandoned.

This Outpost is the last refuge for those we left behind. Not Dwarves, mind you; a downed Dwarf is teleported (painfully) to the medical bay.

This Outpost is the home of a dozen, a dozen-dozen, four-score or more left-behind Bosco drones, who roam far and wide, mining Nitra to bring it back to convert to ammunition in their internal ammofabs, with which they resupply the Minehead turrets. There's more of them now, than before; they've brought back the turrets, and maybe some of the platforms and metal, from a dozen Mineheads, and a thousand left-behind turrets abandoned by Dwarven engineers, hastily-erected to cover a launching drop-pod, forgotten about at the last battlefield, or left behind when their downed owners were teleported out. It is powered by fuel cells stripped from failed salvage missions' drop pods, and is the refuge of a score of BET-C units, freed from Xynarch Charge-Suckers and left behind by Dwarves; the Boscos found them, escorted them back to the camp. BET-C can't leave; they're too vulnerable to Charge-Suckers, which are priority-targeted by everything in the Refuge. They form the bulwark which not even Glyphid Oppressors can push back.

And now, a new and strange, but welcome, addition to the pack: Glyphids. Glyphid Grunts, Glyphid Slashers, and Glyphid Guards, all shimmering white, all with pink floaties over their head. Steeve, Sharp Steeve, and Hard Steeve, able to wade into a pack of Glyphids and begin assassinating them mercilessly, their fell Glyphids unable - for now - to pheromonally sense that they've turned, but they know. They know, and so does Bosco and BET-C. They rock. And they stone. Sometimes they go out, looking for Loot Bugs, which they pick up and return to the Outpost to be harvested for Nitra.

The Outpost is their refuge, where lost Bosco drones and BET-Cs and Steeve, where left-behind turrets find a new home.
