Hi, everyone!
Jet and I made it past all of the rivers on the west/northwest side of the island.
We took a few detours and I've been moving kind of slowly.
So, I think someone could reasonably make the journey in about four days.
We could shorten it if we can put some nice sturdy logs down across the river branches near the hotel.
I think that could really help in making it easier to get down to the base from this side of the island.

No animal attacks! :)
But we might have just got lucky.
We did hear some weird stuff going on the day before yesterday, though.
Did anyone else hear a sort of rhythmic thrumming?
I wasn't sure if it was just over by us.

Those who've died are normally revived shortly afterward, aren't they? So Zam... I'm really hoping this means she was returned to her place of origin. Along with the others who've disappeared.

[ He'd be able to enjoy finally having a break from back-to-back-to-back rescue missions more if not for how much he's worrying about Maddy. Her disappearance is too recent to really guess at the cause. The others have been gone long enough and with no traces left behind that it's easier to assume they're no longer on the island. He's been through this multiverse experience before... even his one-time boyfriend vanished in a very similar fashion, and K's never seen him since. ]

On the upside, there's an abundance of crabmeat now. Wish I had the ingredients to bake proper crabcakes, but maybe I can improvise.

"Normally" is still less than five times. I'm not certain we know enough to make assumptions with any accuracy, though I hope she has returned safely to her home as well.

[The talk of crab cakes makes her feel a bit homesick. If they were guests at her home, she could have Merton make those fish cakes of his that she’d enjoyed so much for everyone.]

It’s truly absurd. You should have seen Squalo returning with it.

now that we know the crabmeat shouldn't be saved........ lol

I suppose it is wishful thinking more than anything.

[ Way to be a downer. 😔 Even if she's right. And unfortunately now it's K's turn to be a downer. ]

It's a shame so much will go to waste. Any crabmeat older than a few hours isn't safe to eat, even if it's cooked. Be sure not to let anyone eat anything you can't verify the freshness of, it could make them extremely ill.

We can't let it immobilize us, but I don't want to forget them in case they need help later.

[Of course. She probably should have guessed that something given in such abundance on this island would not be safe for them.]

I understand.
