Aric’s past comes back to haunt him…in several ways.
I have this issue.
Several Americans enter Aric’s Yanomama village representing
Spectar Enterprises, a logging company that plans to develop the area within
the month. Aric appears in time to stop one of the visitors from striking a
Yanomama youth. He tells the messengers that the village is staying right where
it is, and lets them go.
A few days later, Aric learns that Elib has gone missing. He
goes out in search for his friend and learns too late that it was a ruse to get
him away from the village. By the time Aric returns, the village is on fire and
the tribe is slaughtered – all thanks to the returning Americans.
Enraged, Aric attacks and kills two of them before being
surrounded, beaten and left for dead.
He wakes two days later, returns to the village and
discovers that Spectar Enterprises is a subsidiary of Orb Industries.
Notes of Interest:
1) Aric is disgusted to learn that Spectar Enterprises planned the Hovito
attack to either drive out or eradicate the Yanomama.
WTF? Moment: My
one complaint about this issue is that it took Aric too long to figure out he
was set up. I just don’t believe he’d fall for something like that. It would
have made more sense for the Americans to take Aric on first, and then clear out the village.
