Rapiers and Rocketships

"Sounds like a good idea. You've got the best brush-clearing tool, so you should take the lead." Roland speaks loudly but calmy, to the entire group. "Everyone ready to head out?"

Ben takes his compass out of his backpack, and finds north. This done, he starts to clear a path into the undergrowth.

I suppose this direction is as good as any other. After all, we can't get more lost that we are at the moment...

Roland will bring up the rear, keeping an eye out for anyone faltering under the heat or stress.

Sinead just follows the orders the others give and stays with the rest of the silent survivors.

Tom Hogan on the march

Sinead just follows the orders the others give and stays with the rest of the silent survivors.

Tom follows along, looking about him at all the things he's never seen before -- which is probably all of them.
"Hey! Lookit dat...dat..." He scratches his head for a moment. "T'ing.", he finishes lamely, obviously lost for words.

After a few minutes of rest, Ben and Roland gets the survivors up and moving north into the jungle. For those who have never been in a tropical jungle it is quite the sight. Giant ferns, massive vines draped from tall trees, and brightly colored flowers are among the rich green vegitation that is all around. Strange brightly plumed birds flit from branch to branch. One lands on a log along the "game trail" that you have found and it hisses at you with it's long beak which is lined with needle like teeth and the flys away. Three foot long yellow lizards skitter through the brush as you as you move forward. The jungle is alive with animal noise.

"Creepy, never saw a bird with teeth before."

Sinead smiles while she looks around.
"Strange, just what I thought. By the way shouldn't we be seeing the sea or something?"

There's all manner of strange creatures science hasn't discovered in the worlds jungles. Although I would suspect that to be more in South America than the Caribiean. Pilot, Just how badely off course were we?

"We were bang on course right up until the instruments all went haywire." Ben replies. "And that was no more than two or three minutes before we crashed. We can't be more than ten, maybe twenty miles off our flight path at the very most. Certainly not enough to have taken us to South America.

"Still..." The young Englishman frowns as he speaks. "I don't recognise any of the birds or animals we've seen so far, and I've got a fair knowledge of the fauna of this region. It's all very odd."

Ben falls silent again, focusing on cutting a path through the jungle.
