We rescued two strangers who'd been badly beaten. We saved them, though when awake, something about them scared us, but we couldn't figure out why. When our world began to change, get cleaner, and we could get food and medicine easier, we found out who they were, when they came to talk to us after.

Places with the Rot had giant blue slugs in them, so Diin and the crew kept away from them. They didn't chase after anyone and seemed content to graze on filth, but the whole gang had learned the lesson of the drones. There were easier stores to steal from, and a wider variety of food stored. It was almost like someone was leaving them there on purpose.
It took them three weeks to notice that curfew wasn't called any more.
Lynn couldn't remember the last time she'd seen a drone. Or any enforcers, for that matter. Kron was the first one to notice how easily everyone was breathing after the strangers vanished. Hox made the discovery that the blue slug poop was valuable minerals. Stuff they could exchange for money at the gleaming new depositories.
