The story for the player begins at the @Stranded Plane, the wreckage of a twin-engine charter plane that slammed into the south west @ Beach of @Bush Island just forty-eight hours ago. Unlike the massive cruises of the past, this was a private, low-altitude flight—a group of researchers, thrill-seekers, and drifters who were never supposed to see the Twin Islands.
At 04:00 hours, the plane’s navigation systems screamed and then died. The magnetic reef didn't just pull the plane; it stripped the electronics bare. The pilot had three seconds of visibility before the volcanic mist swallowed the wings. The plane clipped a Senna tree, spun, and snapped in half. The cockpit and front cabin were lost to the sea. Whilst the remainder of the plane landed on the @ Beach.
Out of the 20 souls on board, only a handful pulled themselves from the smoke.
The Starting State: You wake up surrounded by the smell of jet fuel and damp earth. Your belongings are scattered, your technology is useless bricks of glass and plastic, and the jungle is already starting to reclaim the wreckage.
The First Realization: There is no radio signal, only comes through the static. There is only the sound of the Harpy Eagles in the distance, rhythmic growls coming from the forest.
The player’s first instinct—and their first failure—will be the attempt to leave.
The Shoreline: Only with a raft or boat of some sort can they enter the ocean, but they can only go from @Bush Island to @Fire Island and vice versa, there is no leaving the twin islands area.. The closer you get to the edge of the map, the more the air begins to vibrate.
The Phenomenon: The magnetic interference when trying to leave the known twin islands area is so dense it causes physical vertigo, nosebleeds, and eventually loss of consciousness. The currents around the Twin Islands don't flow out; they spiral inward like a drain. They aren't just stranded by distance; they are trapped by a physics-defying cage of iron and sulfur.
As you explore the wreckage, you find the first clues that you are not alone. They might find a rusted 1970s ration tin tucked under a seat, or a 2014 party lanyard from the Azure Spirit snagged on a branch nearby.
The realization sets in: They are just the latest "intake" in a fifty-six-year-old experiment of survival.
The new arrivals have no knowledge of where they are, nor the history of the islands or the existence of the Senna community, not until they are told by those who live on the islands or when they discover it themselves.
The crashlanded: @Arlo Finch, @Beck Sandringham, @Big Moses, @Mia Chan, @Priya Nakai and the player.
It needs to be prefaced that this is a human world and there are no supernatural or magical elements whatsoever. The island itself is an anomaly on earth, though people may suggest it is of supernatural nature, it could theoretically be explained by science, though nobody knows how nor has sought to find out.
