Author's note: I do not own anything from the game Far Cry 3.

This is my first shot at fanfiction writing. I am open to any and all reviews and criticism. After all, it can only help me. Also, let me know if I should continue with the story. It is a little slow for now, but I wanted to give a little background. Enjoy!

Chapter 1 : The Opportunity

Finally, I just got out of my last class for the day. Another semester of college was nearing its end. I could not believe that next semester I would be a senior! I was a little discouraged though. After being in college for this long, I never really made any friends. I know it was because of my lack of involvement. I just stuck to my studies and never did any extra activities around campus. As I was walking down the hallway I spotted a poster.

"Attention all Biology Majors! Looking for a fun research opportunity? Join Dr. Martin on his research assignment to Rook Island. His research will include looking for undiscovered plant and animal species on the island. Participants will assist Dr. Martin in identifying species on the island as well as harvesting plant specimens for the Biology Department's Horticulture collection. You will also get a chance to meet some of the island's native people. If interested, contact Dr. Martin in his office (152 Barrow Hall) for more information. Hurry spots are very limited!"

Hmm maybe I should do this. I had Dr. Martin for my introductory Biology course, and he was one of my favorite professors. I could use the research experience, and it would be a chance to meet new people. A break from the monotony of school life would be good for me.

I went down the stairs and made my way to Dr. Martin's office.

S: "Hello, Dr. Martin?"

Dr. M: "Oh hey Stef, what can I help you with?"

S: "I wanted to get some information about the research opportunity to Rook Island."

Dr. M: "Oh sure! The trip will be a month over summer break. As the poster said, I will take the students to the island and we will check out the species that live there as well as try to find new species. If we get the chance, I hope to visit some of the ruins of the island too. The best part is the University will pay for the entire trip. We will leave next Saturday at 8:00am."

S: "Ok, how many students are you planning to take?"

Dr. M: "The University told me I can only take 3 due to them paying all expenses. I have already selected 2 students. I remember having you in class, and I would like to have you be a part of the research team if you would like to go."

S: "Sure I'll go."

I went home to my apartment and told my parents about the trip I was taking. They were very happy about the opportunity Dr. Martin had given me. My mom did ask one question I did not think to ask Dr. Martin myself. Where exactly is Rook Island? After searching around on the internet I could find nothing about Rook Island. This made me a little concerned, but I trusted Dr. Martin. Maybe I should have trusted my own judgment.…
