“Sometimes, the woods really are just the woods.”

-Jill

At some point you start to question whether or not the things you think are real, really are.

For Jill, that took three days. A week of nothing – no contact from her bears, no wolves howling, no nothing. She spent her time poking around for the thing she wanted the most: Rogue and King.

Or, at least, some sign that the strange, secretive bears she’d always thought existed, actually did. Or some clue that maybe she wasn’t insane, or that she hadn’t just wasted a four million dollar grant with a bunch of made up bullshit slightly less ridiculous than Bigfoot.

The self-doubt was starting to crush her.

Then again, it always had.

As she packed for another day trek into the woods to find... anything, Jill’s thoughts turned back to her first days working for Fred.

“And this,” he’d said, “is why you don’t say too much when you propose a grant for some edge project that you think no one is going to care about.”

He’d plopped the newest issue of Science, just about the only journal that matters to an explorative biologist, onto Jill’s desk about eight minutes after she’d walked in with a head full of dreams. She’d had these ideas about a population of bears in Yellowstone. The problem was, that for whatever reason, this small group of grizzlies had stopped breeding. They weren’t in any danger, they had plenty of food, they’d just stopped.

“This is why you don’t go to conferences. And if you do, it’s all lip service.” Fred sighed heavily. “I’m sorry. I don’t know what else to say, but just take a look.”

When she saw the cover of the magazine, her heart hit the pit of her stomach. This was everything. Every shred of energy she’d poured into getting this grant all went to utter shit.

“How?” she asked, flipping to the Awarded Grants section. “I mean... how did this happen? How did I get undercut so fast?”

“Fungal growth in forest floor causing Yellowstone grizzly breeding problems? New grant issued - $5m, Dr. Dan Lindemann, GlasCorp Pharmaceuticals.”

Fred looked like he was going to either comfort her or shake his head disapprovingly. Thankfully, he went with the first option. He usually did, which Jill always appreciated. He shrugged. “Well,” he’d begun, “GlasCorp is as close to an evil empire as you’re going to find. They have teams of scientists who do nothing but go to conferences and snipe projects. Especially things that they can somehow twist into extremely expensive drug research.”

“But,” Jill had cut in, “what’s the point? Five million is worth about a buffalo head nickel to those guys. GlasCorp is worth... what? A hundred billion?”

Fred pursed his lips again. “Yeah, well,” he’d said. “The thing is, they aren’t interested in the money. They’re interested in keeping people from figuring out ideas that might compete with them someday.”

With that, Jill pushed back from her desk, in a huff. “This is stupid!” she’d said. “I’m trying to get some bears back to making babies.
