All set for journey to scientific greatness, Miss Tanya Sethi with a group of undergraduate students from her botany class were standing on the tarmac of the airport, about to board a Boeing 727-23 Aircraft. Tanya decided to debrief the students for one last time and had an attendance sheet to confirm who all were going with her on this journey. Tanya was writing a thesis for her doctorate and this research was the perfect insight into it.
The Debrief
“Each and everyone of you standing here and volunteering for this great scientific find on the island of Remi will earn extra grades for your semester.” she said, “Just sign here and get on the jet to your right. I’m sure all of you have packed for two weeks of clothes and accessories. And I think I made it clear that there will be no electrical appliances on board or on the island. Get on now.”
The undergraduate teenagers with fun and party on their minds were ready for 2 weeks of camping and bonfire and other fun. No one knew the danger that was waiting for them neither did Tanya.
All were aboard the aircraft flying to one of the biggest nightmare of their life. None of them had any idea what awaited them at the island of Remi. Even Tanya wasn’t aware of it. Something terrible had happened after the last talk she had there. The research camp was deserted now. No one had any idea of what was going to happen to them.
Everyone had their own selfish reasons for going on this trip. Tanya had the thesis, some kids were after the extra credit and some just wanted fun. At least the plane was safe and not going to a horrible crash. Boeing 727-23 was the best in the business. The pilots were trained to fly in hostile situations. The safety measures were top notch. That is the reason why most parents allowed their children to tag along.
Stay tuned for more crisp…
