In Estrie, Brindacier of the Red Panthers asks the player to find a group of missing women from Rouge. This quest reads:
Context
The panthers unfortunately have no clues or directions for the player to find the missing women, except for the vague advice to search the uninhabited places surrounding Rouge for clues. A panther, Joyal, accompanies the player in their search. Upon visiting the Cave, Joyal is able to identify a few hidden items belonging to the missing women (a necklace, a piece of patterned clothing, a pair of glasses). The place presents chains on the wall (to keep some people prisoner) as well as a closet with about ten identical red dresses, which is quite curious. Joyal suggests that the player take one of the dresses and ask the survivors in the area if they have seen them before. In Portland, talking to Spensonia and Maleine about the dresses leads them to reveal that they have encountered (and sometimes narrowly escaped) numerous patrols of armed men dressed in black, escorting a group of chained women wearing similar dresses. Over the years, they have been able to identify their area of activity more precisely in order to avoid it. They reveal to the player the location of Lead where the women have been taken. Once Lead has been visited and the women freed, the player can find the location of Colony to free other missing women who are dealing with toxic waste.
Inspiration
The Lead community is directly inspired by the "Republic of Gilead" from Margaret Atwood's novel [[Wikipedia:The Handmaid's Tale|The Handmaid's Tale (1987)]. It serves to add an antagonist to the self-organizing anarchist communities, for the duration of a quest.
