02:11 - 11 September, 2066 - Rio Chico, Santa Cruz, Argentina An earthquake of magnitude 8.1 on the Richter scale nearly split South America in two, creating a huge rift valley stretching across Patagonia. Two billion people were evacuated out of the entirety of the continent south of the equator. Scientists were confused as to what caused the earthquake, since the rift occurred nowhere near a fault line. It was tentatively concluded that it may have been caused by the shifting of the Antarctic and Nazca plates due to some unprecedented recent seismic activity in the Pacific, but to be sure, more in-depth studies would have to be conducted. The government of Venezuela decided to send down a team of seven scientists and researchers down to Patagonia to investigate. 17:24 - 27 December, 2070 - Torres del Paine National Park, Magallanes and Antarctica Chilena, Chile The seven scientists arrived at Rio California, a semi-self-sufficient research base constructed by a joint effort of the Venezuelan and Chilean governments. The base is positioned a safe distance away from the rift, in the forest, near the coast of the South Pacific Ocean. It is equipped with an airstrip, hangar, greenhouse, and many other practical and recreational amenities. The crew, most fresh out of grad school and all from different parts of the world, were sent to the base on a seven-year mission to discover the causation and undetectability of the earth-shattering tremor. Little did their superiors know that the group would form close friendships, deal with drama, discover themselves, and even find love and romance in the duration of their stay in southern South America. The stories they take home with them will certainly be interesting...but is home really home when your heart is somewhere else? Like, where you've met all your closest friends? Join the team at Rio California base and enjoy the stories they'll tell to their children-and some they won't. This is South Pacific.

β•°β”ˆβž€ ❝ [I stood there in unequivocal revelation, the lagging pain slowly catching up with me, but before I could release a fraction of the pain into my screaming, a bell rang, and suddenly, pilfered from my body was the ability to move. My face neutral and my muscles disabled as I fell face-first into the hard, scathing rock that lay unmoved before me.] 》* 。 β€’ ˚ ˚ Λ› * 。° 。 β€’ Λšγ€Š Imagine awakening in an environment you deemed unfamiliar, your back thrumming in pain, with your mind staying clear of how you ended up there or simply the moments that lead to your position. You try to find a way out and later realize that you can't even remember who you are; your memories purged, your identity unknown. It takes you a good amount of time, pain, and effort, and eventually you manage to gather tiny fragments of who you were along with the trauma of how you retrieved it, but it's okay, maybe it's all worth it as you finally make contact with another person. Turns out she was your best friend. Finally, it looks like all is turning up until you learn of all the inhumane things you've done in your past, things that evade your newfound morals, things that were so detrimental to society that when you hear the reason as to why you've been enduring such agony, you understand why. How many people did you even end up hurting? What did you do that was so bad, that it made millions wish the absolute worst of you? What will you do now?
