"I'd never do that," says Stanley, "If it makes you feel better, you can carry it."

Jeff isn't sure who he can trust anymore; he just wants to get out of here now. He still has the other shotgun from the airplane and elects to keep hold of it for now.

"Sh-sure, I'll take it then," says Antal, surprised that Stanley doesn't put up a fight. He picks up the weapon and automatically checks whether it's loaded - a sign that he is an experienced gun handler. Still, even with the rifle, he looks shaky and distressed.
The hike back to the camp is tougher than ever. Bill Scott's body is a heavy burden, even when taking turns carrying him. The familiar path seems alien and frightening. It's getting late, and the forest becomes darker with each step. Soon you will have to resort to flashlights. And that awful dead silence descends once again.
The physical and psychological stress is taking its toll on the investigators:

Stanley feels astoundingly robust, as if his burdens have been lightened.

Harry Miller
Harry suffers in silence, but he desperately needs his sleeping bag. Did he bring his sleeping bag? He can't even think straight.

Re: Day 1: Flying in
Stanley and Jeff dictate set a steady tempo for the hike. The young Surveyor, Antal, keeps up with them. However, Harry keeps lagging behind, and the rest have to wait up for him quite often. Antal, frustrated, even snarls at him - "Come on, mate! We cannot spend the whole night in this freakin' forest!!"
It's already pitch dark when you reach camp. From the edge of the clearing you notice that the fire is out. One of the tents is "glowing" - a flickering light is on on the inside.

"Where's the radio?" asks Stanley. "The sooner we call for pickup, the sooner we get out of here."

"It's in the equipment tent in the middle," Antal eagerly points to a big tent in the darkness. "It can reach to Coldfoot, or even Fairbanks if the weather permits."
"Where are the others, though? Usually at this time we are shooting the breeze by the fire."

"Looks like they're up to something in that tent," Jeff replies, indicating the flickering light. "Is that a candle? Or one of those new-fangled portable televisions, maybe? Or are they smoking something..." He tiptoes over to the tent and peers inside, hoping to catch the surveyors in the middle of whatever it is they're doing.
Re: Day 1: Flying in
"Anyone else care to try the radio?" asks Stanley. "I think I've had my fill of them."

Harry watches Jeff tiptoe over to the tent.
"Yep, I'll try the radio. You'd better get ready to pull the headphones off though Stanley."
Harry looks about for the radio..

OOC: Where are you putting the body? |
Stanley, Harry and Antal walk over to the equipment storage, a large military surplus type tent. A dozen bent metallic marking rods are piled up before the entrance. Antal leads you inside.
Jeff tiptoes over to one of the smaller tents, where the Surveyors sleep at night (judging by the number of tents, each member of the team has his own place). He lifts the tent flap just enough to peer inside.

Re: Day 1: Flying in
Stanley sets the body down inside the storage tent. "We can keep it here for now," he says. "That will help keep the animals away, though we may need to post a watch to make sure."

Re: Day 1: Flying in
Jeff yells in alarm. "Trooper! Get over here quick! One of the surveyors is hurt bad." He pulls open the tent fully to reveal the inside.

Jeff calls out to his fellow investigators, then flips open the tent...
