Mr. Robert could barely control himself. He had just finished a meeting with James Jordan who mentioned something mysterious and unnatural. Something that he only briefly witnessed flash into the shadows, but that something was what caused the catastrophic incident. Now at the moment, Mr. Robert was on the phone with an acquaintance that that happened to be a lead biologist that worked with G.U.L.E.A. from time to time.  “What’s going on?” Dr. Mitchell A. O’Connell asked. “Alright, so you’ve probably heard on the news about the incident G.U.L.E.A. had, right?” Mr. Robert began. “Yeah, I saw that report. They said no one’s sure what caused it. Do you know?” Mitchell inquired, expecting this to be the purpose of the phone call. “No, but I just finished speaking with one of the survivors, and the things he described intrigued me. I thought you might be able to help.” “Continue then.” “He said he woke up the night it happened and saw something dark flash past...

James mostly lay back in his seat silently watching the landscape pass by outside. Other cars, people walking down the street, trees, buildings, a fountain, some rental bikes, a wine tasting joint, everything in a typical city progressing in a seemingly typical day. James tried his best to absorb the normal groove of time hoping it would soothe his rushed life. His peace lasted until up ahead came the famed G.U.L.E.A. headquarters into view. The golden-glass windows rising up for several stories lined on the sides with solid black stone for the corner edges seemed like the fire that sparked James back into a serious disposition. Beyond the fiery taste, the top sank downwards directing room for the center where a gigantic 120 foot glass sphere—this time silver—stood surrounded by trees and flowers of all kinds growing along the downward slope.  A moment later he was standing on the curb, Uber driving away, ready to go in for whatever crazy post-disaster meetings was awaiting him...

Hey, everyone! Wow! A whole month has gone by, and I am soon sorry I haven't made another post yet! That's right, there's definitely way  more to come, and this story ain't ending just yet (from where we left off last that would be horrrible! ). We still have yet to reveal the meaning behind our stunningly enigmatic name which is soon to come in another post or two. So...let's get rolling!                                                                       *                      *                      * “Hello! James! Can you hear me!” Reluctantly, James opened his eyes. Only a groan escaped his lips. A headache was coming on, and his exhaustion was still looming around.  ...

Beaded with sweat, James suddenly woke up with a start. It was only a little after midnight with darkness consuming the camp like the bottom of a mine, and the air was humid and stuffy, yet James was wide awake now. His quick arising in his mosquito-net covered hammock had flung it off balance and upside-down, twisting him in the classic hammock mess. Normally he would’ve slowly undid himself in a lethargic manner, but his sudden fright still held him in a sleepless grip. Breathing heavy and fingers fumbling, he quickly undid the zipper and fell out on his knees. Wet, cold mud oozed onto his thick pants. He was quite awake now. The sudden fall and the freezing wet sensation on his legs only made his nervousness worse. He speedily stood up and looked around him in a panic. Taking a few more deep breaths, he managed to calm down a little bit and think more effectively. Pausing momentarily, he noticed an unusual silence that sat inside his stomach. Almost as eerie as the silence wa...

All day was spent in structured wandering. At least, that’s one way to phrase exploring. For Day 1, James and Mark explored around the landing point to check the surrounding terrain while staying within eyesight of the others. Cole followed along while recording coordinates and taking pictures. The Doc and Juan, the local biology specialist, stayed at the landing spot observing the surrounding wildlife and taking detailed notes of the colorful plants, tall thick trees, and curious bugs and small mammals they saw, experiencing what I would say was the most interesting job. As for Joe, he placed a infrared scanner on a tripod, which he very carefully monitored through his MacBook Pro, to watch for any approaching life that could prove hazardous to their safety. After the morning had past and afternoon was coming on, everyone gathered all together for lunch and to chat about their progress. “Well,” James said while chewing, “I’m pretty certain that we can travel farther north as p...

Looking out of large helicopter window, James tightened the straps to his 85.7 pound backpack. They were nearing the predetermined drop-off point where they would lower a metal cord into the impenetrable forest canopy and zip down the team of 6 men. For now he and the others gazed upon the luster of the rich emerald green tree tops mixing with the rising mist that veiled the ominous beauty. “Isn’t it marvelous?” he said to himself. “Hey, Cole!”  shouting above the whir of the chopper, “How’s it feel to take a trip to where you’re lost on the first day?” He gave a teasing smirk while he waited for Eli Cole to throw back another clever response. “Well,” Cole said laughing at his interpretation of the moment, “being lost first thing on a trip sounds scary, but then again if we’re trying to explore new regions, then knowing  where we are might be just as bad.” James chuckled at the remark while looking back towards the window until from behind, Mark, the Surviva...

Not all of earth has been explored. Although satellites have mapped the whole world, we haven’t investigated or even set foot in every area, particularly in many of the world’s rainforests where terrain makes travel difficult and deadly animals make it an even more daring effort. That means it’s still possible to gain fame and experience amazing discoveries. Many have dreamed, few have tried for such glory, and about none have achieved it, but the Global Untouched Lands Exploration Agency (G.U.L.E.A) is intended to accomplish just that. Already having sent people to northern Greenland and others to various parts of the ocean, they now intend to discover as much as possible of the Amazon Rainforest, what this story will be about hereafter… This is the beginning of our new and first story, Expedition: Biosphere II.
