Island Plot Wrap-up!
Whew! What a long, strange trip it's been, and because of reasons we're going to be wrapping this sucker up a bit early on 5 July. Still, there is time for the aliens to toss one more bit of cliched tropical-themed shenanigans!
Those awake and attentive late at night might have heard drumming from the dark, mysterious depths of the jungle. Explorers of the temple may have happened upon strange idols, and a mural depicting a blood-red moon and warriors driving a rival tribe into the sea.
The figures in these images? The source of the distant drumming? Hamsters. Pygmy warrior hamsters, three feet tall and wielding weapons the size of barbecue tools.
On the night of 4 July the moon shall turn a lurid red, the large hamster idol/hatch will begin glowing, the drumming shall be inescapable, and the temple will be lit with countless torches. SUDDENLY: the war cry of scores of squeaky voices shall sweep into camp, herding the castaways into the jungle which is now riddled with traps such as snares and pitfalls.
By morning, all will be driven to the far side of the island, where they will be met by...a barge. A party barge, manned by Extras, offering safe passage back to Taxon. There will be tropical music, drinks, snacks, a limbo contest, and by early afternoon the city will be in sight (thanks to the aliens doing some quick programming from one cavern to the next). Happy reunions all around, and showers for everyone!
A post for all this will go up soon!

It has been some time since we did one of these, and with things getting back to normal (har har) it is high time to bust one out! This one's a blend of the old State of the Taxon Meme and the last meme we had, so folks can catch up and bounce ideas at once:
