Lost? Plot update!

[sphererpmod]

Okay, so this plot has been slow moving and then sped to ultaquick and has a lot of moving parts so I want to make sure that everyone's on the same page and knows what's up with everything. So here is a list of generalized what's gone on in roughly chronological order. Comments can be what your character has done/is doing/what you wanted to do but would rather assume out etc. In order to give players time to catch their breath, the rescue log will go up on Friday. This post will be edited as more plot info is revealed, as well as for things in the comments that I may have missed.
