S.I.D.

The **Special Investigations Department** (S.I.D.) is a totalitarian police force on the Giants homeworld, a fascist equivalent of the Federal Bureau of Investigations on Earth. Its purpose is to deal with assorted dissidents but also to takes the lead in police cases dealing with the Earth people.

Not much is known about the history of the agency, but it seems to have evolved a purpose out of preserving the totalitarian control of its government as well as concocting the propaganda to keep its citizens under control. In later years, it has developed an interest in capturing stranded Earth people on the planet in hopes of learning and stealing Earth technology. To this extent, it has branded Captain Steve Burton and his allies as enemies of the state on false charges of sabotage and espionage despite Burton's help and assistance on several cases. The agency has several divisions and officers, the primary local SID officer is Inspector Kobick, who ruthlessly hunts and pursues the stranded Earth inhabitants (dubbed "Little People) as political dissidents.

It has been revealed that several Giants are not supportive of the S.I.D. and have helped or concealed the Earth people on numerous occasions. Several Giants are not supportive of the government but still want the reward for their capture. The S.I.D. has frequently captured and taken into custody giants who have helped, assisted or protected the Earth people.

While he has got the others in great danger several times, he has also stepped up and come to the rescue several times as well.

Giants without children celebrate Thrombeldinar with feasts and celebrations at home.

According to the folklore, Thrombeldinbar grants wishes, but only if he is captured like the leprechauns of Earth. He can also be very sneaky and tricky as he tries to escape, and if the person who catches him can hold him until the moon rises at midnight, they can cast him him into a fire, turning Thrombeldinbar into smoke until his next return. After turning him to smoke, the wish is granted.

A kind gentle man, Akman invited the survivors to live in his village, but they soon became threatened for their lives from the granddaughter, who punished them severely for trying to escape and ruined their food. When Akman learned she had tried burning the village down, he took her aside and spanked her as the Spindrift survivors escaped.

Meanwhile, Berna and Thorg catch up with them and unsuccessfully warn them from changing the past as it would have dire consequence, even shrinking them down to even smaller size as a warning. When Steve and Dan realize that no one is going to listen to them, they decide that their only solution is to sabotage their ship before it can be flown.

Hunter

## Story

As the player approaches the mountain, the Hunter is found shooting a boar with his bow. He approaches the player, revealing himself and asking if the player saw him take down the boar. He then asks the player if they can clear out this area to teach the player to hunt. The player was given two options; accept the offer, or send him away.

If the player accepts the offer, the Hunter tells the player the technique by hitting enemies from behind to get a critical hit. He then gives a Workbench, and explains that he prefers bows so he doesn't have to get close to enemies, and explains that a Buckler will allow blocking enemy attacks. Then he suggests the player craft the bow, and kill the boars, and offers hunting tips.

If the player declines the offer and sends away, the player will state that he seems to be dangerous and tries to intimidate him, and the Hunter will respond angrily and return to his tent. The player cannot sleep in his tent, but can still interact with him to learn hunting techniques, similarly by choosing "Accept Offer" option.

Resting in the hut triggers a conversation with the Hunter asking whether he was a hunter before the crash. He responds that he never killed an animal in his life before the crash. He reveals that he was a scientist who worked in a lab, studying molecules.

If the player rests in the Tent (found on the mountain) once, a scene with the Hunter appears where he explains that he lived "shivering and alone" on the dark mountainside until he saw firelight and laughter of the characters, and he thought it was "companionable". Then the player will ask if he came down to make friends with them, he disagrees and says that he just wanted to expand his "hunting range".

On June 12, 1983, sub-orbital passenger Flight 612 (aka Spindrift), on its way from Los Angeles to London, encounters a bizarre storm and is forced to make a crash landing. Those aboard—the crew: pilot Capt. Steve Burton, co-pilot Dan Erickson, stewardess Betty Hamilton, and passengers: engineer Mark Wilson, pampered city girl and jet-setter Valerie Scott, bank robber Alexander B. Fitzhugh disguised as Naval Commander and orphan boy Barry Lockridge with his dog Chipper—find themselves in a mysterious land dominated by giants. While exploring, Steve and Valerie are captured by a giant scientist and the others mount a rescue.

A sub-orbital aircraft named the Spindrift flying from Los Angeles to London is pulled into a space warp which transports its crew and passengers to a planet where everything is 12 times larger than normal. In their first night on the planet they are attacked by a giant cat and two of their party, Captain Steve Burton and movie star Valerie Scott, are captured by a pair of giant scientists but are eventually rescued by the rest of the castaways.

## Notes & Trivia

* The day the *Spindrift* crashed is given as June 12, 1983. June 12 was Irwin Allen's birthday.
* It should be noted that as of 1983, the United States did not have any sub-orbital space crafts used in commercial flights. However the LOTG creators weren't that far off as the American Space Shuttle program used partially reusable low Earth orbital spacecraft which operated from 1981 to 2011 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
* In the pilot, the Spindrift left on their trip on June 12, 1983. However, their departure date in Wild Journey is September 25, 1983.
* In some references, it is claimed the cast was traveling from New York City to London, but in the actual series and unaired pilot it was NEVER New York, always Los Angeles.
* There were two different versions of *The Crash*, only one of which was originally aired in syndication. The original version had a different musical score and had more character scenes. The one most commonly seen has the familiar musical cues, but many earlier scenes were trimmed for the inclusion of more action scenes (i.e., the climactic encounter with the giant dog at the end). The unseen version is on the original DVD release.
