Its people are also a strange amalgam of the races that migrated here only over the last two thousand years. The political situation is growing more unstable with riots against it’s to all intents and purposes, dictator. But what are these potential threats to the expedition? Is it the locals, rival bio exploration companies, the island’s former French rulers or even the stranger undiscovered denizens that might lurk in the interior. This may not be quite as simple a job.

It was also more complicated as the crew had been taken ashore. The inter clan genocide still continued in the interior and along that coast but now the Americans had sent all their Rangers and Delta troopers home. But what was the interest of the Royal Navy in all this and why had a frigate been volunteered to help them? Was it just English hostages and that both governments would not do a deal with these warlord terrorists.
