Bunkhouses made from empty oil barrels encircle the derricks and distilleries of this old refinery. A fading Austrian-Hungarian Eagle marks the original structure, above the name Łukasiewicz. In a strange accent, the community elders say they come from Galicia. They seem to have mastered an ingenious way of purifying oil into kerosene.
The settlement's furnaces occasionally fade and flutter, signs of wear. Some residents have asked us to take them to The City. Others want our help replacing the furnace's Cores in return for oil.
Trivia[]
- Łukasiewicz likely alludes to Ignacy Łukasiewicz, a Polish inventor from Galicia and pioneer in oil extraction and usage. Similarly Galicia is a historical and geographic region spanning what is now southeastern Poland and western Ukraine, long part of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, before Austria annexed it in 1772.
