Jeremiah studied the newspaper clipping a while - the man seemed preoccupied before his disappearance? - before realizing he was hogging the clipping and sheepishly passed it on. [color=bc8dbf]“An expedition? That doesn’t seem likely.”[/color] He was talking more to himself than the rest of the group. Margarete’s words stirred a reminder. Tribes...

[color=bc8dbf]“I’ve been on a few, and it’s difficult to plan one without attracting attention. You need supplies, transportation, assistants, and financial support. He might not need the financial support, but the rest is hard to arrange. And the notion he could do so secretively for so long is questionable at best. I’m almost certain the university would’ve heard something - our students are frequently contacted to join all kinds of scientific expeditions, and Miskatonic [i]is[/i] one of the larger universities in the area.”[/color] True, not all expeditions needed to be allied to a university, or to use university students as assistants, but it was a common practice. [color=bc8dbf]“Most expeditions do pair with a university, to help publish their paper afterwards.”[/color] And that set the lightbulb off in his mind.

“[color=bc8dbf]South America!”[/color] he exclaimed suddenly, and without context. That came a second later: [color=bc8dbf]“Most of his work’s been with South American tribes and lost cultures. He actually did quite a bit of work regarding the legend of Eldorado, though his findings were sadly inconclusive as to its existence.”[/color] His voice had grown quite animated. [color=bc8dbf]“His last expedition was in 1923 to Peru, to study the local tribes and ruins, and, it’s really quite odd, he never wrote anything about it. At least, nothing public. There were no papers, no travelogues, no mentions in newspapers. He hadn’t done anything since that expedition. I do have to wonder what he found there. Or perhaps didn’t find.”[/color] He seemed to realize how he was acting and withdrew on himself. [color=bc8dbf]“I still doubt he went to prepare for an expedition. But it does make me wonder, what [i]has[/i] he been doing since then? Especially to make such a sudden disappearance take so long to report.”[/color] He seemed very awkward, managing to fold in on himself a bit.
