Journal Entry
"This [valley](https://outriders.fandom.com/wiki/The_Valley "The Valley") reminds of my parent's form. Yeah, I saw it all slide into the ocean but those mountains„ they were something once."
As a forward reconnaissance operative, Skarstedt is usually the first one into dangerous or unknown areas for the Outriders. He grew up in Norway, but had to leave when earthquakes turned the country into a wasteland. He survived by joining Tanner's mercenary group after bouncing around refugee camps. You actually saved Skarstedt's life a couple of times back on [Earth](https://outriders.fandom.com/wiki/Earth "Earth"), so he feels like he owes you one. Now that he's one of the few survivors off Earth, he was hoping for a quiet life.
Unfortunately, Skarstedt was the first Outrider to catch the alien fungus on landing day and was put into cryostasis. He was then experimented on by ECA scientists trying to find a cure. It's not clear if the fungus or the experiments killed him, but he didn't make it.
