I brought up a suggestion during the brainstorming session, and it was decided to put it up here, so every player could weigh in on it. So here goes:

The idea is that an underwater volcano not far from Tracy Island could unexpectedly erupt. Although it was known to be there, the ability to know when and how violently it would go off was still not available to scientists - not even Brains.

Assuming that it was enough to build up above the water, it could spread ash throughout the Fiji Basin, where we figured TI to be located (and it seems to be the only inhabited island in the basin). They would want to evacuate as many personnel and as much equipment as possible, but time is of the essence.

Ash spreads quickly and falls over a very wide area. When Mount St. Helens erupted in the 80s, there was at least 2 inches of the ash every day as far away as Coeur d'Alene, Idaho for a week or two - perhaps longer.

So what do you think of this possibility? Is it feasible? What would they do? Would Mateo Island be far enough away for them to evacuate there? Would they go to Penny's ranch?
