Chapter One: Lord of the Woods Four white smooth walls surround the desk that lies in the center of the room. Only the lullaby of the mini-split device is heard, when at nine o'clock in the morning the door opens. A lady wearing a fresh and light purple dress, garnished with flower and birds needleworks walks in. She holds a cup of coffee in her right hand, while the left one is diving in a bunch of papers. The quiet serenity breaks when she takes her seat in front of the computer, smashes the papers on the desk and then starts making a "peek-peek" sound as she pushes the characters on the keyboard. At the e-mail inbox, there are lots of messages that she may never read, but one steals all of her attention. The title is "Aid Request". The same of almost 15 from that day, but the main thing around it is who sends it. Greetings! We expect you to have a nice day! This is Canek Cauich, manager of the ecotouristic area Eeke-Ku-Yooko ("Dancing Star") Cenote. By this mean, we ask for the support from Animals Rehabilitation Center (ARC) because of the following: Past October 31st, during our Halloween-Día De Los Muertos fest, we had an incident. In the proximity of our main attracion spot, which had an attendance of around 1,200 customers at the time, a wild jaguar came out from the rainforest. The whole park was evacuated. Soon, the animal left, but there were several sights pointing that it still roamed near the place. Since then, the park is fully closed. Local people were worried, most because they mantain themselves from tourism activity. So, we called authorities in order to catch the animal, who is now called "Yum Kaax" after mayan Lord of the Woods. As it is possible that the jaguar still roams if set free, we got permission to keep it at our natural conservation area, but we are now concerned about its welfare. It is obvious that the cage made by local authorities is not enough for Yum Kaax's basic requirements. We are aware about the previous works of ARC. If we're counting on your support, Yum Kaax and the people will be both grateful! We'll be awaiting for your response. Thanks for your time and attention. With a hand on her forehead and the eyes wide open like two cenotes, the woman finished reading the mail. She blinked twice, calmly drank a sip of already cold coffee and then started writting an answer. The text cursor was tinkling after a final point that closed the text and sentenced phrases with words like "non-viable" or "risky". Her finger was menacingly landing in the "Send" button, when a noisy sequence of hits striked the door from the outside. - Headmistress! We had an urgent call! A pack of wild birds is going to be confiscated from a black market house! We need your signature in order to relocate them! The mini-split lullaby toke its main role again during a couple of eyeblinks, then the lady shouted from her throne. - Bring them here! Answer was taking too long. The fellow who limited itself about getting in was twisting its eyes and whispering for sure. - Oh my... Are you serious? Our birdcage is not working yet. - It's just for three or four days. Just do it! Hurry! Give me five minutes 'til I reach there! - What are you planning now, boss? Steps started walking far. She erased al the done e-mail and changed it for a short new one. Later that day, Canek was reading the next: My respectable Sir Canek Cauich: I want you to be having an excelent day. This is Headmistress from ARC headquarters. I'm very interested about Yum Kaax's story. I'll take a plane to Yucatán tomorrow in the morning, so I may meet it personally and also your whole conservation area as well. I have a work proposal for you that I want to discuss face to face with you and your team. I'll just state from now that it will be a total waste if you don't take it: If we work together from now on, your park will turn into a whole place for the rehabilitation of wildlife and rescued animals. I expect that we may share ideas and talk about details tomorrow with a good portion of that what is produced at your inn. Until then, good bye from: Biologist Coyolxauhqui Aduna-Pacheco, ARC Headmistress.

Ooof...hate when that happens! Glad you were able to figure it out!

Well... We're here again... I'm sorry! I started Island Zoo, but the bunch of ideas for Mexican Pack weren't allowing me the right building... I'll start my mexican theme zoo.. But (as usual from me) I have to point a few things before: -> I'm sharing with you the workbench I'm using. I made a new map based on a cenote! My next themed park is gonna be built on it: -> My previously narrated zoos I made (Thawed Out Park & Fukkatsu Woods) focused most on animal facts & wildlife knowledge. It's not bad, but I feel this one more personal because I made some animals & foliage, so it will be different in that. Also, I hope you don't mind if I start a secondary thread where I'll post this zoo in a spanish version. I have some spanish-only speaking friends who are very interested about this tale! I'll start my building works soon! Stay tuned if you want the workbench! Have a nice day 🐆🐆

Ok had to pop in and redo bookmarks cause my hard drive needed replacing and of course they installed Win 10 which I hate and lost all m y bookmarks. As for the 3D Virtual World look up myvirtualbeach.com That is the web site for my virtual grid. If any of you have ever heard of Second Life or know what it's like VB runs on the opensim platform almost exactly like second life. The only difference between the 2 is the game engine that powers the client. SL uses the Havok Engine where VB Uses X or Y Engine. Will be mo9ving hose for the 25th of September so may not be until first week of October before net is reconnected. But until next time Happy Building and Downloading.
