John Roland was a maintenance worker that was stationed on a Dead Tech facility on Planet Bob. He was the last survivor of the facility and recorded a log shortly before death.
John Roland and the people he mentions are thought to be from a second party because it says in his log that they had only been there for six months, and it would be very unlikely that they could have built it all.
John's log[]
"This is chief of *Static* Maintenance John Roland. My final log, *static* you found this, well, you probably found me. Do me a favor, tell Mark I'm sorry *static* home like I promised. Not really sure exactly where it went wrong. We made it to the surface 16 months ago, atmospheric conditions were about what we expected. Landing was a little rough, but Sarah handled it just fine. *static* kept giving her shit about the landing for the next six months, no one I know could have landed that *static* system came with only a few hiccups, *static* we did see a spike and, *static* but with a few adjustments of the *static* damn, well it was a little temperamental when coming online, *static* T6, *static* months, they should have *static* They killed us. The last worker *static* C1-62. He was the last to lose power, just down the hall from where I'm recording this log. Actually teared up a little bit when I found him. We used the last bit of power cells trying to repair *jumps ahead* If I didn't know any better, I would say those to little workers were friends. *Laughs* Or I'm just losing my mind, *sigh* Chance. *static* Better work." That was the end of the log.
Behind the scenes[]
The name "John Roland" is most likely a reference to the John Roland in CaptainShack's Fallout 4 series which he did Livestreams on TGN and his personal channel.
