Red Right Hand

You, Janine and Amelia set out with Duncan to hunt down the source of the red fungus. Amelia says that the fungal seed pods were carried to the mainland by ocean currents. The fungus has swamped Bangor, and could have overtaken all of Wales if Amelia hadn't used a reserve burn cube on it. She berates you and Janine for losing the Edda, but Janine points out that Jones might have had help on the island, and his helper could have the Edda. Amelia says that her priority is tracking down the source of the fungus, and her submarine has released a green dye into the sea to track the source of the current.

Duncan notes that the dye is following the coastline. Janine spots someone watching them from a distance. She asks Amelia to look because her vision isn't as good as it was. Amelia says that they're wearing a grey coat with a purple stripe down the middle. Duncan says it is a Skincoat. The coats were originally fishing coats, but over time evolved to become a symbol of a guardian of the island. He says that the Skincoats were done away with when they appointed a modern police force, but since Amelia's torpedo revealed the statue, people have been talking about that being a sign to return to the old ways. When Janine looks back at the figure, they have vanished.

The dye sends you around a headland. Janine says that Jones had been fixated on the King of the Rocks ceremony. Duncan repeats a rhyme that all children from the island learn, which tells them how to perform the ceremony. Jones was obsessed because it was the only piece of home he could keep with him. Amelia points out that he took the Edda. Duncan says that the house searches they've been conducting haven't been going down too well. You realise that the dye is starting to head towards land, and hurry towards it.

You reach the point where the dye hits the land, and notice that it is heading into a cave. Duncan points out that the water nearby is churning violently. You hear moans, and realise that it's a group of water-logged zombies left over from Jones' attack. Amelia urges you on because you won't be able to try the dye dispersion again for a month if you miss this chance!

You head through the caves with the zombies still after you. Janine spots the Skincoat watching you from a ledge. Amelia calls out to them, but they vanish without responding. Duncan finds it troubling and says that the Skincoats kept justice by brutal means, including torture. Janine wonders how they could have arrived before you. Duncan says that traditionally there were nine of them. You hear another zombie roar nearby, and hurry to follow the dye as it heads westward.

You lose the zombies in the confusing cave system. Janine realises that the cave is where you located Jones' original camp. Duncan says that the green dye is is sinking into a borehole in the centre of the cave. Janine tells you to begin searching, but Amelia tells you to look up instead. Duncan says that they are just island pomegranates, but Amelia recognises them as the fungal seed pods, and some of them are open. Duncan says that the scientists from Dearg had taken some away for study prior to the apocalypse, and that they are scattered throughout the caves. Amelia states that Janine needs to head to Dearg in search of a cure and to find more information. She announces that she will be staying on the island for longer than anticipated.
