Recently, an entirely new part of the world had been discovered, an island that had been hidden virtually permanent beneath cloud cover, obscured from overhead flights and satellite photographs. But now, the island had been discovered, and it had been decided that a small expedition would be sent by the company that had discovered it. The company hadn't released the knowledge of the island to the public just yet, not even the governments of the world had been told. After all, the company needed to make sure that anything that was worth any money belonged to them first of all.
The team consisted of three people, two scientists and their bodyguard.
Catherine was the leader of the expedition, the head scientist of the company that had sent them here. She had been a child genius, graduating with three PhD's by the time she was 12 years old. Now, at the age of 25 she was one of the most respected scientists and one of the most intelligent people on the entire planet.
Naomi was one of the younger scientists working for the company, having only recently been assigned as one of Catherine's lab assistants. She had eagerly volunteered for the expedition in order to prove herself to hew new boss, determiend to earn even the tiniest amount of respect from the woman.
William however was no scientist. He was the head of security for the company, a former mercenary trained in the use of virtually every firearm known to man. It was his job to keep the two scientists safe and make sure nobody else staked a claim to this island.
The three were just disembarking from their small ship, pulling up in a landing craft on the beach, securing it to a nearby tree before moving a little further inland in order to begin setting up camp.
