Delta Flight 364 crash lands onto Island Unknown. Split into two parts, the front section of the plane lands on the western shore, and the tail lands on a secondary island to the east. Survivors emerge, injured and disorientated. As night falls on the main island Captain Theo Walker gathers as many people as he can around a campfire on the beach.
Attempts to contact the outside world are unsuccessful, phones are dead, radios only produce static. On the main island people scavenge for resources on the beach, tensions are starting to rise. Across the sea on the secondary island, survivors look for a way to cross the water. There seems to be a storm brewing on the horizon.
People are growing restless, arguments begin to break out. Attempts to establish a camp continue, a water source has been found but resources are drying up fast. A terrible storm sweeps in late afternoon, washing the debris, bodies and bits of luggage out to sea. This hits both islands, devastating the beaches and halting the secondary islands efforts to cross the water.
The survivors have been rocked by the storm, some people are injured, others are scrabbling to reclaim resources. Many spend the day rebuilding shelters and patching up any injuries. The storm has revealed more of the wreckage in the shallows. Some people maybe go to try and retrieve items from there? On the secondary island they begin to build a raft.
More people are beginning to explore, perhaps someone manages to track and kill a wild boar? First proper meal they’ve had in a few days, lifts the moral a little. On the secondary island fights are breaking out, Michael is vying for control. Progress is however made on their raft.
People are a little bit more content having eaten properly for the first time, roles begin to be establish. Leaders begin to emerge and people start to divide into working groups; hunters, gathers, fishermen, builders etc... Secondary island still working on their raft, exploring their island and gathering resources. Michael has manipulated a group of followers, Cliff and Henry are looking after everyone else.
In an effort to lift moral the main island decide to have a little party, basically finish off the rest of the boar, and drink the alcohol they salvaged? Maybe someone finds a cache of rum whilst exploring the island and brings it back to camp? Secondary island, raft is nearing completion. Michael has probably almost killed someone...
A female survivor is found dead the morning after the drunken night... blame is pinned on Miles, it’s not actually him, but we now have an attacker on the loose. (This person will attack again, so message me if you want to kill off a female character in the days following this first attack). Secondary islanders finish their raft and set sail.
Everyone is super uneasy following the events of the day before, Miles is currently still handcuffed to a piece of the plane, until Emmy absolves him because she thinks she knows who actually did it. This can be confirmed when someone else dies a few days later. The attacker won’t be heard of again for a long time after this. (They join Michael and wont be seen till the groups converge.) Secondary islanders make it to the east coast of Island Unknown.
I have some drama planned with my character Johnny. He comes back into camp spoiling for a fight, wants to go off looking for his sister, someone makes a comment that she’s probably dead already. Johnny lunges, the two fight and Johnny accidentally kills them when he tackles them and they hit their head on a rock. Survivors decide to exile him.
Couple of normal days? Unless anyone has something they want to do? We can skip through these but feel like our poor islanders just need a rest, a chance for cutesy romance moments and exploring! At this point the secondary islanders will split, half with Michael and half following Cliff. Michael’s group find a cache of old war guns.
More drama concerning our kids. One of the survivors has started to lose their head, Mateo ends up getting into a fight with them. They grab air marshal Sam’s gun and point it at Mateo, Ren jumps in to save him. With the deranged survivor distracted by Ren, Mateo jumps into the fray, the gun goes off and the bullet hits Camille, killing her. Another survivor is exiled. Sam takes her gun and buries it somewhere.
The good half of the secondary island led by Cliff and Henry (not Michael’s gang) make it the main camp. Lots of happy reunions and catching up, people finding lost family members. They warn them about Michael, people take a few extra watches that night, keeping an eye on the trees.
Another couple of normal days, people reuniting, lots of happy, fluffy moment.
Michael and his group attack. They’re all armed with some old war weapons they’ve found and they round up the main camp. Anyone who seriously fights them is killed, lots of people die here (I think I’m losing two characters, message me if you want to kill characters off, or collab with people to kill your characters etc...). Michael takes control.
Michael’s regime is in full swing, he’s got people handing over their resources and his men are terrorising the main islanders. More people are killed or beaten? The main islanders are miserable and at a loss for what to do. Some of them begin to plan an uprising.
The uprising takes place, the original main islanders turn on Michael and his men, managing to over power them. Elena kills Michael, and many of his men fall as well, both sides take heavy losses. Those who they don’t manage to kill escape into the trees (whether they die or not is up to you, maybe they join the mercenaries? Maybe the mercenaries kill them) Johnny having helped bring down Michael rejoins the group.
The main islanders recover and reestablish their camp. They patch people up, bury their dead, grieve and try their best to keep going in spite of their losses. Ricki has been working on a radio along with any other technically minded people, where are all my tech heads? She finally gets it working, but when she tries to make contact the signal pings off somewhere on the island oooooh
A group is pulled together in order to track down the signal and work out where it is coming from. Be warned, anyone in this group is liable to be captured or killed. They gather some resources and head off into the trees. Don’t send anyone you want to keep alive/keep all their fingers and toes O_o
Back with the main camp on the beach, a ship has been spotted in the distance. The survivors light fires along the sand to flag the ship down. They manage to get it’s attention, and the ship sails towards the island. However instead of dropping anchor and sending smaller boats, the ship starts to drifting towards the island. Seemingly unable to stop it crashed onto the rocks and breaks apart. The survivors race round to the rocks and pull the ship’s crew out of the water.
The ship was called The Endeavour and was chartered by the sister of one of the island survivors (who’s already died, for drama) whose very wealthy father funded the mission to track down the delta flight believing it may have landed on this rumoured ‘anomaly’ of an island in the Pacific. Among them are a few other characters who can be claimed i.e captain, navigators, crew, journalists, private security team etc...
The Endeavour crew are looked after by the remaining Delta group who patch up their injuries, and try to help them in anyway they can. People are growing suspicious of the fact that shit keeps crashing here. The plane being the first, then the ship, and some people may have also come across the wreckage of a small cargo plane and other washed up things.
Those who went deep into the jungle following the signal, find a large compound fenced off with barbed wire. They approach it, but this sets off a series of booby traps, a combination of mines and wire traps that kill most if not all of the group although some will end up captured (more will be explained below)
A few days pass the radio group still hasn’t returned, people are still suspicious about what is causing the crashes. We’re now fairly certain it wasn’t the pilots fault. A couple of groups may go off exploring in search of answers, Em and I are sending off Miles and Emmy to do some solo exploration here. You’re welcome to do the same!
I’m thinking maybe a group on the main beach also begin building a boat with the scraps of the Endeavour in an effort to sail off the island. They all pull together and craft a raft that seems as though it’s working but inevitable crashes like everything else?
Em and Miles come across the aid workers who crashed in 2004 and have been living in a bunker since. They are informed about a group of mercenaries who crashed in 2011 and the weapon which is causing stuff to land on the island (the mercenaries are holed up in the compound which houses the weapon, they’ve been actively hunting anyone who’s landed on the island since. They haven’t found our group yet, at least not until they torture their whereabouts out of those they’ve captured). Claims for the aid group and the mercenaries will be made available. Perhaps some others have also come across the belongings of those killed by the traps and have told the group about this?
Em and Miles and their new allies head back to the beach to warm people about the mercenaries. But they’re also now set on destroying the weapon, so the new plan is essentially prepare for war because the mercenaries probably have our friends and are coming for us right now, and build an explosive so we can destroy the magnetic shield weapon and free ourselves from this hellhole.
They start prepping for all out war, but are attacked by the mercenaries in the early stages of this. Whoever they've captured gave up the location whilst they were being tortured. The mercenaries attack and kill a lot of people, more deaths I know....basically our good guys end up fleeing into the trees. They’re divided in two groups (again). Half end up back at the bunker with the aid workers, the other half hide out in some caves.
The group in the bunker start mapping out plans to ambush the compound, there’s lots of tunnels all over the island that lead there and they can use them to their advantage. The group in the caves come across some dynamite which they think is still viable. They have their foundation to make their explosive. Eventually the two groups reunite, lots of happy cute moments and then we’re straight back into planning our attack.
Our military kids pull together and start planning out a strategy. Our techies are back making this explosive device and everyone else is making themselves useful however they can. We have a few days of them prepping, planning, tracing the routes through the tunnels, until finally their day arrives.
They split up into teams in order to deliver a multi pronged attack on the mercenary compound. One group is carrying the explosive device, the rest are armed with guns, machetes, daggers and whatever other weapons they could create or salvage. Into the tunnels they go, with a radio network set up to communicate with those outside. We’ll have a few people still in the bunker, a few people watching from the trees and also some up the hill.
The teams fight their way through the compound, dispelling mercenaries and closing in on the weapon. Someone takes down the mercenary leader? The team carrying the explosive get to the weapon room but as is always the case, the device was damaged during the siege and now needs to be manually detonated, I was planning on having Lillian make the sacrifice so her adopted child could finally free themselves from the island and live in the outside world? If anyone wants to sacrifice anyone else instead please let me know as I’m not 100% set on this.
The delta teams escape the compound into the tunnels and the device is detonated. The mercenaries are defeated and our survivors reunite with everyone else. A couple of days pass and someone else has some luck fixing a military/satellite radio. They try it on the beach but with no success, eventually they head inland and climb the hills to get to higher ground.
Again they try and finally they get a signal from a passing naval ship. The ship is able to triangulate the signal (seeing as the magnetic field was destroyed) and soon military helicopters appear on the horizon. They offer immediate aid before small boats appear on the beach and pick up survivors in order to take them back to the ship. Finally our guys are free!!!
Please hit me up with any other ideas you guys have, want to make sure I get everything down xD
