(A renamed an revamped version of The Island, a thread I made in the open area of casual because casual seems dead)
Taking place in an archipelago known as Fortuna, teams consisting of death row inmates "bought" from governments, kidnapped outsiders, unwanted "lottery" winners in neighboring countries, and traitors are sent onto the island Aral.
Often given two hours of firearms training and of briefing on what they shouldn't touch or drop, after that nothing but the occasional "Watch for Gretchen, you'll know him when you hear him. Different than the other things." Is given before they are dropped off by the Ralian crime syndicate. It profits off whatever's scavenged from the... less infested islands in the former kingdom, while sending expeditions here to make a foothold or have a chance of reclaiming powerful technology.
Why the Ralian syndicate needs their "volenteers" for expeditions? Because anyone more competent is too valuable to be sent here with the risk of death with no guarantee of profit.
What the "infestation" is of? Rumors circulate about supernatural or technological abominations created by byproducts of producing lifesaving medicines during the kingdom's prime, or that it's natural and that the beings are nature trying to overtake the island by force with rapidly evolving beasts, or that it's the result of a disease. Few know for sure, and a fair amount of people are uninformed.
Governments make a fair point to encourage not learning about the island to discourage salvage and there are many travel advisories saying to avoid the archipelago's area completely due to "hijacker activities". Though in some countries it isn't illegal to mention the island or knowledge about it, sites regarding it regularly get scrubbed away.
