[color=green]???:[/color] Yeah amazing we can find something useful among this trash. We might need to find batteries for it soon though... [cut off] [color=green]???:[/color] Watch my back Emily, I'll record something. [color=00BFFF]Emily:[/color] [whispers] Okay I will be over there... but be quick please! [inaudible motion] [color=green]???:[/color] ...okay so we are underground now -possibly some old secret subways- on our way to this.. No Names City. I met eight other scientists like me here; we are now heading for the expedition... [cut off] [color=green]???:[/color] Security is really tight. They don't want us to record anything... can't blame them though after knowing what's at stake. Emily got me this audio recorder here and I'll try to keep entries whenever I can just in case... well things could go really wrong. [nervous laugh] [color=00BFFF]Emily:[/color] [whispers] Pssshh~ Brad! They are here! [inaudible loud man talking in background] [cut off] [/hider] [right][hider=PHOTO ENTRY #1] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/77/c8/e7/77c8e7f4927f92350ea2151e02fac253.jpg[/img] [img]https://img00.deviantart.net/ce00/i/2011/126/9/5/industrial_playground_by_officialcriticalmass-d3fpyc5.jpg[/img] [/hider][/right] [center][hider=JOURNAL ENTRY #4] [img]https://image.ibb.co/jadv5w/No_Name_watercolor.png[/img] [img]https://image.ibb.co/fOc8sb/Journal_Entry3.png[/img] [/hider] [hider=JOURNAL ENTRY #5] [img]https://image.ibb.co/b5v8Qw/Journal_Entry4.png[/img] [/hider] [hider=JOURNAL ENTRY #6] [img]https://image.ibb.co/dZfmCb/Journal_Entry5.png[/img] [/hider] [hider=JOURNAL ENTRY #7] [img]https://image.ibb.co/geuA5w/Journal_Entry6.png[/img] [/hider] [/center] [right][hider=PHOTO ENTRY #2] [img]https://pre00.deviantart.net/6914/th/pre/f/2012/333/5/2/red_haze_by_tvurk-d5k77pt.jpg[/img] [/hider][/right] [hider=AUDIO ENTRY #2] [Sounds of footsteps on grass and inaudible chattering of people] [color=green]Brad:[/color] Log entry 1. The date is Friday, 15th of October, 2004. So we are in the forest now~ [color=00BFFF]Emily:[/color] [interruption] Do you think she had a name? Maybe we should name her according to our pseudo-names. She can be the tenth expedition member! (excitedly) [color=peru]???:[/color] I-I don't think it is a good idea Emily... maybe you should listen to ambassador Vincent a-and.. [color=00BFFF]Emily:[/color] Urgh... you are such a coward, Ivan. What could possibly go wrong with bringing a cute little girl to the surface? [color=peru]Ivan:[/color] W-well, are you planning to raise her yourself? ...look, she looks like six but she doesn't even know how to speak. She's so quiet and doesn't even understand what we are saying. It will take a lot of time and effort to blend her into our society, not to mention how hard it would be to get her an identity. [color=00BFFF]Emily:[/color] Of course I know that! But what? We leave her here to be tortured by some freaks and die? I can't do that! A girl like her is better off out there! [color=peru]Ivan:[/color] E-Emily w-we have been over thi~ [color=00BFFF]Emily:[/color] (annoyed) Okay stop. Nevermind. Come on girl lets check out the trees over there... (left) [color=peru]Ivan:[/color] [sighed] Brad I'll check out the rocks over there. Lets meet up back here in ten minutes or so. [color=green]Brad:[/color] [sighed together] Alright. [cut off] [/hider] [hider=AUDIO ENTRY #3] [color=green]Brad:[/color] Log entry 2. Same day, afternoon. This is absolutely fascinating! [Sound of brushing against leaves and grass] [color=green]Brad:[/color] Just look at this leave sample. It is red... there is no green pigments at all... chlorophyll test negative... no signs of photosynthesis... [Silent] [color=green]Brad:[/color] Doesn't seem like the chlorophyll broke down to stop food production during fall... more like it's never been there... there are plants I know that react like that, but something seems off about the leaf cells... I need a microscope.

Why is there such a high iron content in the air? What will happen to the team as they started to uncover the truth of the forest? Stay tuned for Urban Creatures: Expedition Team 9 (part 2) [/hider]
