The story begins...

A man lies in the dirt next to a body of water.

A parcel, unopened, just to his right.

The day is early, the sun just risen. Gulls can be heard squabbling in the distance.

Slowly, conciousness creeps over the prone figure.

What happens next? I'll upadate this post as we progress.

Make as many suggestions as you want, I'll update a panel or perhaps a few at a time depending on the outcome. Be as serious or ridiculous as you want.

Open the parcel.

Throw the parcel out to see. I'm sure it will creep back into the story later. Also, eat the green plant thing.

The parcel contains some kind of container filled with a bubbling green liquid.

Smell the liquid, if you can open the cannister.

The canister is firmly sealed.

Take a rock and bash it open, then run some experiments with it, the plant thing, and the water

The container isn't even scratched.

Pee on it.

Surprisingly, nothing happens.

Check pockets/clothes for anything he has on him?

Look around for other useful stuff.

that's some yellow pee. he's dehydrated. drink some water.

His pockets contain an ID card, a mobile phone, a wad of cash ($500), and some kind of key.

The name on the ID card? And can we see our reflection in the water to confirm it is us?

Cross-check the name with the phone, if the phone has the person's name stored on it. Also, check the phone: Contacts, messages, pictures, videos, etc.

The ID belongs to a women named Zoe Vern.

The phone contains a single message. It reads:

Zoe, it was a success!

The Serum has stabilized, but the results are a little... unexpected.

Please hurry in, we've a lot to discuss.

Thomas.

Build a sun dial and tell us the time!

Try calling the sender of the message.

Double check? Man bits intact.

The number dials straight through to a voicemail.

Leave a message and check your surroundings, keep an eye out for possible shelter.

Message left for Thomas.



To the north, the sea washes calmly against the shore. A red buoy is floating about 200 feet out. The case the container was found in lies to the left. The container itself is lying on the ground to the right.

To the East and West the beach stretches into the distance with no discernible features.



To the south there's a small building. Behind the building trees dominate the horizon, beyond them detail cannot be seen.

Take the container to the building in the south.

Let's try open the door to the building.
