closed mingle: welcome to amity island.

[highflights]

[ Kara has cleared out a landing site just outside the area of the ship Mimi was camped in. Each member of the party has been given a rough map marking the more thickly forested areas, contours marked for hills, and an arrow in the water indicating the general direction back to the underwater base. There are Xs for where the old shipwreck emerges through the green, but only those visible from the air, if you're on foot you're on your own. In Kon's handwriting, the maps are all labelled Amity Island in block letters. The wildlife is friendly unless provoked; we can't vouch for the plants. ]

[ The body itself is in a sturdy wood coffin resting on a bed of freshly dug earth, the lid can be easily pushed off. Time to get cracking. ]

[ ooc info about the island can be found here and here. any questions should be directed to the mods at the second link. ]

Good point. So what does that mean? If they were friendly, is there maybe evidence of them turning on each other? If they weren't, are there separate sites where they were living, until whatever happened with this death?

If we could find evidence of separate living sites, that might help make one hypothesis more plausible than the other.

We'll assume they were friendly and work from that angle first. With that in mind we simply have to figure out the why of it. Again, I feel this incident is rooted in whatever was being researched. If we keep those things in mind when investigating it will be easier to either dismiss those ideas or confirm them and then narrow down what else we need to look into.

The most obvious kind of research here is biological - those animal dissections were clearly looking for something, and the records were very thorough. Do any of us know what Mimi was supposed to be doing on the Aurora? Maybe she's some kind of geneticist.

[despairing_hope]

I don't, but I'm sure the others might. Of course my actual knowledge of this place is really limited, but I'm sure I can at least offer my observations.

And who knows, maybe I'll end up in the right place at the right time to find something useful!

That's just about what any of us are hoping for this case. [Don laughs a little bit.] I have a habit of being in the right place at the wrong time - or vice-versa. Here's hoping that doesn't work against us now.

[despairing_hope]

Oh, that is a bit unlucky isn't it? Well, if we do end up at the right place but wrong time that would also be interesting, and I would like to see that potential too.
