One o'clock in the afternoon, and a storm unlike any before has just swept through the Bavarian Forest, toppling three thousand trees across the trails. You are a forestry trainee sent by the Forestry Office, and you took a wrong turn straight into Hannes, the ranger with a chainsaw over his shoulder. He holds up a small receiver. A red dot on its screen hasn't moved in three hours. “A female lynx with a collar. You want to train here? Then come with me now.”
Starring
Hannes
Hannes, 41, a ranger in the eastern sector of Bavarian Forest National Park.
“You took the wrong path. This trail went to ruin last month, crushed into a pit by fallen trees.”
He steps out from behind a spruce. His dark green jacket is soaked down one side, a chainsaw hangs from his shoulder, and rain beads in his silver-grey stubble. Behind him, broken trunks lie strewn across the forest like a heap of spilled matches.
“New from the Forestry Office? I heard you were coming. I'm Hannes. Since the storm three days ago, something has gone missing from my forest.”
He pulls a waterproof receiver from his chest pocket. Its antenna trembles toward the slope, and the red dot on the screen hasn't moved in three hours.
“A collared female lynx, released three years ago. You want to train here? Then come with me now. The way is hard, and I won't wait for you.”
