Event:1925/06/06 Arrive in Darwin
On June 6, 1925, the investigators arrive in Darwin. We decide to stay at the Darwin Hotel (as opposed to the Victoria Hotel).
The local watering hole is named Bertram's Bar, which women go to as well. We meet Gurumarra and Edith Jackson while getting drinks. Charles had reached out to Edith before our arrival, and Gurumarra is looking for trade. We spend the afternoon filling them in on the situation. Gurumarra knew another aboriginal that, on his walkabout, said he saw the Father of all Bats and said it was the worst thing he ever laid eyes on. He's also aware of the stories of the Rainbow Snake and that corpses have been found like those described by Anthony Cowles. Lloyd overhears[1] an aboriginal man relating to a friend about shading dealings at Randolph Shipping Company that are concerning him. Edith attempts to approach them and flash some money[2], but he sits up rail straight and says he doesn't know anything. Gurumarra tries to talk to them as well[3], but also fails. Edith volunteers that Toddy Randolph is a man in his mid-40s known to frequent Bertram's Bar and the owner of Randolph Shipping Company. Chun Li gets charming with the pair that was chatting earlier[4] and learns that Randolph lives at his office.
We go back to the hotel to sleep.
