Mission Read
Cross-checked newspaper routes place three newspapers in Swamp Oddity: one pinned inside the swamp shack, one in the office-side hole-in-the-wall route, and one bought from the Paperboy after the office return.
Public comic-strip routes also describe this mission as office-return and swamp-side cleanup rather than a single giant secret room.
Mission-list sources place Swamp Oddity between Fatal Repulsion and One Flew in the late arc.

Version Note

For patch-sensitive changes, route clarifications, or future DLC chain updates, compare this mission with the News & Patch Tracker.
