Excerpt from UN Survey Team report #17, Korean Peninsula disaster zone:
Mission:
Observe the effects of thermonuclear war on the landscape and population of the Korean Peninsula.
Duration:
Six months.
Itinerary:
Shikoku Refugee Zone; Busan Harbor; Seoul Ground Zero; Northeastern Rebuilding Zone.
Equipment:
Radiation Suits, Assault Rifles, Hummvee, data-collecting equipment.
Personnel:
1st Lieutenant Anna Sinclair
Corporal Joseph Billy
Corporal Billy Joseph
Dr. Victoria Han
Dr. Charles Manning
Observations, Shikoku Refugee Zone:
Sinclair, Anna: "This zone is dramatically overpopulated for the existing infrastructure. The road is full of people and we're having trouble properly surveying the area. Tents and damaged huts sit alongside poorly-maintained skyscrapers as women nurse their young outside in the heat and men desperately try to grow something, anything, in the irradiated wastes."
Billy, Joseph: "I ain't never seen so many slant-eyed chinks clustered all 'round me. They'd be all kinda thin, just running about all over the darn place."
Joseph, Billy: Note: As Joseph, Billy, cannot read or write, this entry is omitted.
Han, Dr. Victoria: "It's pretty clear this region was not directly hit by a warhead, but it's still quite radioactive thanks to fallout. There aren't any social liberties here. A military unit called the Black Eagles is maintaining order here, and it's not uncommon to see them execute civilians in the streets. Compounding the situation is Acting Dictator Tochiro's pronouncements against contraceptives, directly resulting in all the orphans running around in the Shikoku Zone."
Manning, Dr. Charles: "This area desperately needs some kind of organized reconstruction, and some kind of food supply. Shikoku depends on airdropped supplies from Vietnam to survive, which is not continuable. Every surviving human in Japan is in Shikoku, and it shows."
Observations, Busan Harbor:
Sinclair, Anna: "We won't be getting too close here from our ship. Our radiation equipment isn't completely prepared to protect us. But even here, it is possible to see the end of hundreds of thousands of lives. Hawai'i had much to answer for."

Han, Dr. Victoria: "The water here has turned dark and murky, almost sickly. I can't imagine how much has died down there, and over there. There was supposedly a prototype submarine undergoing depth trials in this bay when the bombs hit. It's rather a shame, given that it was the only submarine Korea has bothered building. Hawai'i had much to answer for."
Manning, Dr. Charles: "I don't really have anything to say. I'll be in my quarters."
