FINAL TRIAL

"ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR STAY!!! :-)"

That's a message from Chirpy, as that group leaves the records room. Though really, there's not much time left; a fact impressed upon you regardless of whether you had a overly helpful bumbling robot or not.

Take some time to discuss what you've found and equip your new found loot in the open research lab. It's not a bad place for an impromptu meeting considering it's size.

Though sooner, rather than later, you'll need to head deeper still, to meet your two administrators, who surely know you're coming by now.

(( OOC: Welcome to Endgame! This is for all the bananas, so good luck! We'll give you 1 hour OOC to discuss your invest findings, and then it's onto the final confrontation. ))

Records Archive

[dupiety]

The Records Archive was...to put it lightly, the worst record keeping system I have ever seen.

[That was not lightly.]

Fortunately, there was a caretaker robot to assist us. While we had to sift through some unnecessary information, we did find some hidden gems.

For example, the previous administrators of this island chose birds for their theme due to their nature aligning with their scientific vision. [He has the papers with him so he can just quote it directly:] "The board decided on naming the Horned Sungem (Heliactin bilophus) as the islands mascot, as it employs "hawking", the act of taking insects directly from their nests for sustenance. Similarly, one of the main goals of the project is to take those from other worlds to power our research."

I also discovered a bit of the nature behind those who visited this island prior to our arrival: "SP offers the best class in hospitality, entertainment, and relaxation. While many visitors pay to visit the island, others are the result of charity selections, in order to ensure a diverse spread for research."

it sounds as though this wasn't always a forced attendance for visitors.

You really have to wonder about the sorts of folks who willingly decide to pay for a trip to a resort in another dimension that can't hold itself stable without feeding off of people ...

[ like, even if they probably weren't told about the 'needs to eat people' thing, what happened to just going on vacation in your own dimension. ]

If I had to guess, Sungem's Peak was probably marketed as something novel and luxurious for only the wealthiest to enjoy. They'll throw their money at just about anything.

Sure is one doozy of a marketing tactic ...

[ maybe scamming the super rich actually is super easy, if you just call anything unique and one of a kind enough ]
