The following account was recorded in the agent's log during your transmission: Half-destroyed, ivy-covered statues of forgotten Buddhist deities lie scattered throughout a massive, abandoned hydraulic fracturing site, like, the sound of gently dripping crude oil fills the air. The sky above is a sickly orange haze, and I can smell the sweet, chemical tang of hydraulic fluid. Uh, in the center of the site, an ancient-looking, ornate Vedic yajna kunda somehow sustains a perpetual flame that appears to be fueling the constant operation of a collection of rusted, century-old fracturing pumps, drawing crude oil from the depths of the earth to... well, seemingly nowhere.
