Game Events
It is about 4pm

Andrew - Asfer - Ruben - Johnny POV:
Barker gets onto the raft last before Asfer. Asfer attempts to board but his suit is too heavy.
"Sorry Asfer, you'll have to find another way across." Barker states.
"Well in that case, Blah Blah Vlad Conversation Stuff Herp Derp."

Vlad - Kyle POV:
As Vlad pulls up to start circling the clearing, something bumps Kyle's feet. He looks down to see the Brown Backpack with pull-cord he saw before.

CURRENT SUB / OBJECTIVES:
Find the Fabled Tree - through the swamp (across the river for A+A+R+J)

[No map cos I can't be bothered. Not much has changed anyway.]

The patches of light green are swamp, and the brown trails are paths, right? If that's he case, then:
Head West in order to get closest to the path before crossing the swamp.

It's a raft. 5x3m made of logs and vines.

@PB: green = jungle, darker = denser. The only swamp is the one with the arrow.

I see, thanks for clearing that up. I wonder if I can still recharge a bit while walking...
Equip the Mk. IV while letting the generator recharge.

HighEndNoob (-) Kyle Berguard
Kyle looks at the bag: it's a medium-sized brown backpack with various straps to hold it to you - or maybe you to it - and a cord with a handle on one side. Stitched next to the cord is the word "Primary". There is an openable flap on the top. The bag doesn't feel that heavy but it is bulging from its contents.

Clearly it's a...


death ray with anti gravity properties.

Can i be next boss? My secondary weapon is a pistol
