Logbook Entry

TRANSMISSION FRAGMENT, origin unknown, March 21st, 1961.

Yes, Anita, I do agree with you that this is nothing short of remarkable. And yes, I also think what we're seeing here is something new and unique, something unmatched by anything the Zone has previously offered up. But I must disagree with your conclusions. Strongly. I strongly disagree.

These abrupt, dangerous, grotesque things are one of a host of bizarre new geological phenomena. They very likely occur in response to ground vibration or local disturbances. And I think that's the end of it. To suggest that they are a deliberate reaction, even a defense mechanism, takes our discussion in a very different and quite uncomfortable direction. I think we should be reviewing your reports before you submit them. This conversation goes no further and I'll be scrubbing the transmission logs as soon as possible, understand?

Synopsis

Bollards are chunks of the ground that rise up seemingly at random. After a while they may go back down again. They are also summoned by Seismic Squall anomalies.

Counter

Total avoidance is the only known method of preventing damage from this Anomaly once contact has been made with The Driver's car.

Junction Conditions

Bollards become more frequent when a junction has the Underground Mischief condition.

Damage caused by colliding with Bollards is increased when a junction has the Curious Fragility condition.
