Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-34263048-20180124040817

You were sent on expedition deep in to a jungle. Your group was quite small, Just professional mercenary / smuggler as your guide, couple natives as carriers you and another scientist/geologist that was all your 7 man group had. You were on combined geology and rescue mission, you were searching some gold, diamonds, anything valuable enough the it would be worth starting a mining operation. The first team who had gone here had pretty much just vanished. Normally they had contacted twice a day if for nothing more than for a status report, but also if they had found anything or of they would be in any sort of distress. That was just a safety precaution.

Last of their contacts was slightly disturbing. Two carriers and other geologist had gone missing, On the other hand they had found a promicing looking diamond vein, but they werent sure would it be large enough to start mining them. On next day when they should have contacted you they didnt contact. As they were over a hour late from their contact your company did security override and turned on the satellite link for the camera in the camp. The camp was devastated, the tents were ripped to pieces, the equipment was scattered around in the mud. then you saw something moving, it moved like a human, but the pictre was quite hazy at best, Then the camera was knocked over, and mud covered the lens, and then suddenly the connection was lost. As you tried to get new connection there was no response, so at best you could guess is that the tramsitter to the satellite, or the satellite dish was destroyed.

Couple days ago, the carriers refused to continue any further, You couldnt really communicate with your carriers due language barrier, but you asked the guide to do anything to get them to continue, as without them you couldnt continue any further. The guide talked to the carriers, and finally came to you. -"They really dont want to go there, they just call it "bad land where men disappear". but if we pay more I think we can get them going again." You were still relatively young and eager to prove your worth to your company. If this mission fails you would be the laughing stock of the company, so you just told the guide that price isnt the issue, we just have to get there. The guide managed to get the carriers going again. A day before Yesterday the ground started cracking an popping under your feet. Upon closer inspection you niticed that you were walking on what was basicly a graveyard, Bones littered the ground everywhere. The guide came to you, -"Ape bones, I would guess" You were about to say that no, these are definitely human bones, but as you were about to speak you saw the guides eyes. Just from the look on his eyes told you. "You know, I know, Carriers dont know, and they may not know." -"Yes, Large primate yes, but not human, Gorilla or chimpancee most likely." and then you contiued your journey. you could just think that there was hundreds of human remains, although they were mostly very old and barely regognizable but while you could find perfectly intact skulls, most of them had pelvic fractures. and hip bones are a lot sturdier than skull.

Yesterday, early morning, one of the carriers diappeared, you didnt hear anything, suddenly he just wasnt there. Today you found some ancient ruins, and in the middle of the ruins you found a statue that vaguely represented a large primate, Could it be the missing link between humans and monkeys? it was much more human like than any monkey, but it clearly was closer to monkey than a human, also the pose which it had was rather strange, like she would be presenting herself to anyone who comes here. Last night, the elctric fence which you put up around your camp suddenly sparked as something hit it, you hears screams of pain, but then there was just silence. Bit later that night a tree fell over the fence, your camp was raided, you are alone now, and you need to get out of here.
