Emergency Investigators- Autumn Mantle

Emergency Investigators work in dangerous and extreme weather conditions. We work all across the world, across all seven continents, as search and rescue experts. They communicate with team members globally and they need first aid skills to respond to any situation, 

Rain gauges were thrown in a bin. We needed to find out why. We don’t like waste in our company. We found out that they were not waterproof or transparent. We need rain gauges that hold water and we need to see how much water is inside. 

Whether it be saving vulnerable villagers in a flood in Germany, providing water supplies via a helicopter winch to those experiencing a drought in Ethiopia, or saving someone stuck in a tree before a tornado struck in Canada, we are the search and rescue team you need! 

The team were watching drone footage, taking phone calls and watching the tracker maps in the office. Suddenly an emergency meeting was called. Paintings were being shared across social media, the internet and in newspapers by someone going by the name of ‘Jupiter’. This person has been posting pairs of paintings with a weather theme. Days later, somewhere in the world was hit by the same extreme weather…

On our laptops we saw ‘Project White Out’ as a reality. We stepped into the scene and rescued the explorers in the blizzard. 

‘Jupiter’ keeps posting. A small part of a future painting is slowly being revealed to the public. What are they trying to tell us? Are they causing these events to happen, or are they trying to send us a warning to keep people safe? 
 

Revealed is a painting of a heat wave in the Australian outback. Is a bush fire starting in the coming days? We looked at a heat map from the last few weeks in Australia and the temperature is getting dangerously hot. We need to plan our next steps to be one step ahead of the weather…

The team returned to find a mysterious box left in the office. When we opened it there was a special egg inside that needed protecting. Alongside the map were some clues: a picture of a dragon carving and a muddled up map of places in China. A portal seemed to be a sign of where we needed to go., but do we follow the blue dots (colder places) or red dots (hotter places)?

The egg seemed to be stressed. We needed to protect it. By exploring how to manipulate paper in different ways, we used our science skills to protect the egg as best we could.

When it was too dark, or too light, we also noticed that the  egg started to crack. We needed to make the living conditions just right for the egg, so we sorted materials that were opaque and not opaque. 

To ensure the egg was protected at all times, we ensured a security camera was circulating the egg. We used BeeBots to code instructions. 

Along our journey we stopped for a rest at the Temple. An ancient scroll told a tale of four dragons. As we touched the scroll we saw a vision. We saw Emperor Jade from the story writing a further scroll. He spoke no English. With patience, we discovered what the Chinese symbols meant. Our missions was to pray to the egg in the 'Land of Spice' in the Mogao Caves- before the next full moon. This is its final destination. The sounds from the 'Singing Sand Mountains' need to be in the prayer. Once sang, the four dragons stuck in the mountains (from the story we heard), will be released to take the egg home.
