MEdleyVO for Avery Walker
Avery is a scatterbrained professor of anthropology. He spends more time reading books than he does in the field. He's scared, repressed, and arrogant. He always thinks he's right and has facts and theories to back up his claims.
[This is Avery describing his visions to his psychiatrist. He's worn out, at the end of his rope]
"It's... well, it's... quite pleasant, actually. I'm in the most beautiful tropical landscapes, rich with fruit trees and little creeks. It looks like the Garden of Eden, if you believe in that sort of thing. I feel completely at peace. It's the only time I ever feel at peace... but then I wake up and it's chaos."
[Avery is a professor. This is an excerpt of him lecturing in class.]
"Take the Kawahiva tribe, for example. In 1982, the Brazilian government reported their numbers to be 350 strong. But when a nearby mining operation encroached on their territory, a deadly a virus infected the tribe. The Kawahiva called it "lotakalu," or, "Death Incarnate." We may know it as the flu."
[This is Avery pleading to not go on the mission to the island. He's desperate.]
"I came here, against my will, gave you my expertise, and now you're all set to go to the island. I now ask that you let me leave. Just take me home.
Please."
