It's the middle of May 1989.

The wild flowers have just begun to bloom in generous patches throughout the Mananga Hela National

Forest, attracting legions of locals and visiting hikers alike to the deepest,

untamed reaches of the woods. It is, without a doubt, the busiest time of year for Arlo Thacker,

founder, president, and sole employee of Kepler Expeditions. He's an outdoorsman for higher,

able to find her pretty easily. I mean, yeah. I think act under pressure. I think you're under pressure,

because if you don't find her, that would probably mean the end of Kepacs. Yeah, well, we don't want

that. That's an eight plus, let's see, what do I add to act under cool? Yeah, that's a seven.

Oh, you have a minus one cool. Yep. Okay. It is a mix success. You find her, but it takes a while,

and the teachers and the students are all getting very, very antsy, as you stumble upon her, as you
