Whilst the alchol found on board was quite exquisite and would fetch a high price it was not the objective of this mission. Maybe try something else?
[[Dive in]]The canned food was preserved however the only diseases found on it were fungal and a result of mold. Maybe try something else?
[[Dive in]]The family relents and allows you to take a sample for your research. It wasn't as much as you hoped for but it should be enough to get started.
Not bad!!You have taken the necessary training to become a diver specialising in shipwrecks and sample retrieval and have carried out the necessary research.
You can now pitch the idea to a organisation/university/board to obtain a team and funding
[[Pitch it]]You have dug up a well preserved corpse of a person who died of a severe disease, this would be a major find however the family of the individual are not please and demand you cease this project.
What wil you do?
[[Reasurre the family that you will take extra good care of the body]]
[[Tell them that its just a body and they shouldnt be bothered]]
[[Come to a compromise and only take small samples instead of the entire corpse]]You have chosen to find a ground based source of biological remains. What will you do first?
[[Research the topic]]
[[Pitch the plan to a organisation/university/board]]After finding a shipwreck that contained sealed biological remains you and your team dived into the wreck and located many items.
Which of these items would you take back with you for sample collection?
[[Canned food]]
[[Bottle of alcohol]]
[[Jar of skin]]
[[Pile of bonded coins]]You have taken the necessary training to become a diver specialising in shipwrecks and sample retrieval.
What will you do next?
[[Conduct research]]Yoo have chosen the marine option, you now have some choices to make.
First you must find and research a shipwreck that may contain the samples you need.
Second you will need to obtain a diving license.
Third you must obtain funding and a team as this will be expensive require some amount of manpower.
What will you do first?
[[Research]]
[[Diving license]]
[[Team and funding]]The jar of skin contained skin sections taken from the deceased sailors and slaves, these skin sections were sealed in a jar and still contain viable samples of diseases from the time.
The project is a huge success!!!You have taken the necessary training to become a diver specialising in shipwrecks and sample retrieval and have carried out the necessary research.
You can now pitch the idea to a organisation/university/board to obtain a team and funding
[[Pitch it]]Whilst the coins are silver and gold enough to fund even more expeditions perhaps it would be better to find something with biological remains? Maybe try something else?
[[Dive in]]After obtaining a diving license and researching the topic you have now succesfully obtained a team and funding for you endevour
[[Dive in]]The organisation/university/board are satisfied wth you research and have agreed to fund you and a small team. They do however warn you that as you are digging up people the descendents may have issue with it.
[[Dig a hole]]The organisation/university/board feels you do not have the backgroudn knowledge to do such a thing and are worreid you may upset the descendents of those you dig up.
Better luck next time
[[The Mission]]The family are unsatified with this and end up posting the story online making this a public debate which the brings a lot of negative press resulting in the cancellation of the mission.
Better luck next time
[[Dig a hole]]You have thouroughly researched the topic and are knowledgable enough to create a pitch with data to present infront of a organisation/university/board.
What will you do next?
[[Team and funding with Research]]
[[Obtain Diving license]]You have researched the topic and found places in which people were laid to rest in a manner that preserved them similar to mummification
You now have the necessary knowledge to pithc the project to a organisation/university/board.
[[Pitch the Project]]You have conducted no prior research nor have you aquired the skills to conduct the sample retrieval. The organisation/university/board as well as the potential team you would recruit have refused to join you.
Better luck next time
[[The Mission]]You present your findings to the organisation/university/board whom are interested but feel you do not have the necessary training to undetake such a mission.
Get you diving license perhaps?
[[Obtain Diving license]]This has royally annoyed the familly causing them to complain to your organisation/university/board. They have chosen to cut funding and cancel your project due to this.
Maybe try a nicer approach?
[[Dig a hole]]You are an archaeologist studying diseases in order to better prepare humanity for pandemics that will likely occur in the future, in order to do this you must obtain samples from deceased individuals that have been preserved in some form.
You must now choose, will you attampt to find samples [[Going for a swim]] or [[Digging around]]?
