[Alliance] Missing Parker Siblings Found After Seven Years

Missing Parker Siblings Found After Seven Years

Nina Essex - Exodus Sentinel

An exploration group charting resources on Terra Nova’s unsettled land made waves yesterday when they came across a signal originating from one of the oases in the famous “Desert Belt”. Upon investigation, the team discovered a makeshift hut, broadcasting equipment, and an extremely relieved couple who identified themselves as siblings Matthew and Ashley Parker.

The demise of the prestigious Parker family in 2181 has been the subject of local conspiracy theories, particularly since the bodies of the two youngest Parker siblings were never recovered at the crash that took their parent’s lives. Candlelight vigils have marked the anniversary of the family’s death every year since, theorists advocating “kidnapping” theories have made multiple public please to return the siblings to the city of Scott. Their reappearance comes a month before the seventh anniversary of the disaster.

Ashley and Matthew Parker were discovered approximately 150 kilometers from the crash site, well outside the 80-km search radius originally performed. The siblings are now in the care of the Alliance, who, in addition to confirming their identities, are providing medical care, education, and investigating the events surrounding their disappearance and rediscovery.

Meanwhile, companies previously owned by the Parker family have declared an early weekend for workers in celebration, while local restaurants offered free meals to customers after sunset with a donation to the Parker Fund.

Wow, they have one hell of a catch-up with the war and all coming up. Will they be able to have back their family's fortune or has someone cheated them out of it already?

You know, I think I remember that story. I have to remind myself that seven years isn't as long to humans as it is to salarians.

It's a bit sad, really, isn't it? Any other year this story would be an amazing, uplifting thing, you know? They'd be celebrities or something. Now it's just another "missing people turn up alive" notice; good to hear, but not exactly unusual nowadays. Half the population of the galaxy is probably still "missing".

Exactly.

Man, these kids are in for a brutal shock when they re-integrate with civilization. I can only hope they had a shitlooad of reading material while they were out there - can you imagine seven years of nothing to even take your mind off how meaningless your existence is out there?

I remember when these two went missing... the extranet went nuts with conspiracy theories.

Echoing Sarcastic_Salarian's comment about adjusting. I mean...

20 credits says they see the state of the galaxy and decide to turn around and go right back to living in a hut.

I don't think so dude. A mind numbingly boring/despairing being stuck in the middle of nowhere is, I'd say what made it worse was the only member of the opposite sex present during years of isolation is your own sibling.

Just add hormones and you've got one potentially screwed up situation, in more ways than one.

I can only imagine how rough it was. They were just kids when they were thought lost.
They're made of strong and sturdy stuff! It's great news they're alive and okay.

See, I'm sure we all kind of considered it when we read the whole "seven years alone" thing, but did you notice how everyone before you was tactful enough not to mention the possibility of incest?

Not to mention the article actually calls them a "Couple". Come on, I can't be the only one not twisted/tactless enough to speculate.

Furballs.

I noticed that too, bro. Let's see some pics of 'em, so we can decide if we'd tap that.

The son was 19 when he went missing. His sister was 12.

You are utterly repulsive.

This is good news and something that should be met as such, not with snickers and "lol i bet he ttly banged his sister".

Christ.

Racist.


Tightwad.

Sorry for pointing out their awkward situation, not exacerbating it. You guys really need to take those pointy reaper spikes out of your asses.

No, merely the center word in my username.

























(That'd be "Sarcastic," by the way.)

What is wrong with you?!

@ Nick The Pirate

You do not merit the effort it would take to craft a more eloquent response so, in lieu of some creative insult, allow me to express in no uncertain terms exactly how much of a sick and completely unamusing fuck I find you to be.

You may continue to take umbrage at this fact or you can shut up and give some thought to what you're actually saying. Perhaps you might even gain some understanding about how revolting and utterly asinine it is.







Moving on.

My main interest, beyond the obvious well wishes and the like, is how they managed to get one hundred and fifty kilometers away from the site and why they didn't stay to wait for rescuers.

You can travel a good distance in seven years. As for why they didn't wait... I'd imagine they had their reasons. Crash site wasn't a good place to wait due to lack of shelter or something like that.

As for the other comments... ew. You know who you are. Just... ew.

Come here and find out *wink wink*
