The Plot

[Majority]

      Five years ago, war spilled out over Redwood forest. It was simply a machine that came to destroy the forest for wood and building area. But to the animals living there, it was a monster beyond recognition. The hardest was for the small rodents, the mice and the rats: the machine was slow, but destructive. Their homes were destroyed. Half the forest torn up. Forced to stick together, the rats and mice traveled further away, deeper into Redwood to hide.

    But then the machine stopped. The attacks stopped. Plans were canceled to the destroy the forest. Finally, after months of terror, the rodents could rest! But Redwood had changed: they had ran into an unrecognizable part of the forest, somewhere further away they'd never been before.

    Now feeling the machine had finally stopped its attacking reign, the rodents split themselves up into two groups at first: The Mice and the Rats, their territories separated by a small brook. The two settled down into their new, but much smaller, homes, and at last there was some peace. As long as each group kept their distance and stayed on their side of the brook, things were fine.

    But now, five years later, faint rumbles can be heard in the distance - sometimes quiet, sometimes louder, but always there. Rumors are spreading because of this. Some say the machine will come back to destroy the rest of the forest. The mice think the rats may be behind it, since the sound comes from their direction. The rats think the mice are making up these lies to start a war amongst the rats. But what is true?

      Tensions are rising as each group knows little of each others' intentions. What is the truth behind these rumors; will the machine really come back again one day? It's up to you to find out and discover the secrets of Redwood - make your own choices and paths to decide how the story unfolds.
