Atlantean necklace

The **Atlantean necklace** is an item from the graphical adventure game, *Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis* (1992).

## Description

This necklace was made of amber and the rare metal orichalcum. It was created by the god-king Nur-Ab-Sal of Atlantis to contain his spirit and possess those who wore it.

## History

This necklace was created by Atlantean god-king Nur-Ab-Sal to hold his spirit within. Nur-Ab-Sal frequently experimented with misidentified alien technology resulting in him creating a race of human/alien hybrids in an attempt to achieve the status of a god. These creatures revolted against him leading to him transferring his soul into the necklace.

In 1929, the necklace was recovered in Iceland by the Jastro Expedition of archaeologists Dr. Jastro, Indiana Jones and Sophia Hapgood. Sophia would keep the necklace, causing the spirit of Nur-Ab-Sal to speak with her and lead her closer to finding the ruins of Atlantis. In 1939, she and Jones found Atlantis only for Nur-Ab-Sal's spirit to possess Sophia to use his ancient machines and turn him into a god through Sophia's body. Jones foiled these schemes however by throwing the necklace into lava, seemingly destroying it and Nur-Ab-Sal.

Through unknown means, the necklace or a replica of it survived into the 1950s where it was left in the town of Disney Springs, Florida at the bar of one Jock Lindsey. Jock was the aviator to Indiana Jones and a member of the *Society of the Explorers and Adventurers* and left the necklace in his bar's lost & found to be reclaimed by an unknown owner.

D-Void:Catch My Drift

"*Working in space is fun and rewarding! Well…maybe not fun…it’s hard work. Also, it’s not very rewarding…since they don’t pay you. In fact, working in space you’ll probably just end up dead.*"
―YouTube description
**Catch My Drift** is the first episode of the internet series, *D-Void*. It premiered on October 25, 2014.

## Snyopsis

The episode begins outside a space station orbiting a nearby planet. Outside of the station is Astronaut #3, who is trying to fix the station. In his hand, he holds a torch. However, every time he uses it, the force of the flame pushes him away. After this occurs twice, Astronaut #3 hooks a grappling hook to the station to stay secure. He tests this out, and it works. However, he hooked the grappling hook onto an escape pod that Astronaut #1 is in, and it slides out of the station.

Now in the drift of space, Astronaut #3 tries to push himself, and the pod backwards. Sadly, the torch has run out of fuel, disappointing Astronaut #3. Because they aren't getting pushed back, the escape pod gets caught in the gravitational field of the nearby planet. With the pod descending at an increasing speed and alarming rate, Astronaut #3 tries to pull the pod upwards. Suddenly, the intense heat causes Astronaut #3's head to boil, and helmet to crack. Because of this, his head explodes.

The escape pod crashes onto the planet surface, which is all floral like. Astronaut #1 jumps out of the destroyed escape pod, and gives a sigh of relief, having survived the impact. Suddenly, Astronaut #3's torch comes down and impales his head. To add insult to injury, a flame spews out of the torch, revealing it wasn't empty on fuel, and the force of the flame makes Astronaut #1 fall over dead.

## Appearances

Arbori

**The Arbori** (translated as "in balance with nature") are indigenous people native to Adventure Isle. They can be found in Shanghai Disneyland, created for the island’s backstory.

## Background

The Arbori lived in what would become known as Adventure Isle for many generations, living in harmony with the natural world. They strive to live in alignment with nature and all of its facets, from the animals to the landscape. They believe in three realms of the Earth and that there is a legendary beast living in each of them.

In 1935, the League of Adventures made contact with the Arbori, after making an emergency landing on the island. The Arbori were helpful and friendly to them, due to them only wanting to learn more about cultures. Since then, they have welcomed guests onto the island to do the same.

## Beliefs

### Creation

The Arbori came to this world through a portal, as did many of the island’s other creatures. The portal was located in the roaring mountain Apu Taku, behind the waterfall. It is the most revered mountain peak, translating as Grandpa Mountain. Only the deeply spiritual are able to go through it.

### Three Realms

The Arbori believe the Earth exists in three realms, with a legendary beast protecting each of them. They are the following -

* **Sanghra** is the water realm. Life first originated here. It is watched over by the **Q’orangha**, the vanisher and the ancient one that takes the form of a snake.
* **The Mayu** is the celestial realm of the sky. It is protected by the **Q'otár**, the seer of past, present, and future that takes the form of a thunderbird.
* **Arbori** is the outer earth realm, where humanity lives. It is guarded by the **Q’ai**, the watcher that takes the form of a fanged cat.

### Q’araq

Long ago, a large reptile resembling a crocodile had made a new home in the waterfall of Apu Taku. It is the protector of the Arbori's most precious natural resource - the ceaseless flow of water.

### Other

The Woolley is a camelidae animal indigenous to Adventure Isle, resembling an alpaca. Hugging one will bring one good luck.

## Appearances and allusions

### Soaring Over the Horizon

The ride takes place in an Arbori temple and celestial observatory, dedicated to the Q’otar. An Arbori shaman is the host of the ride’s pre-show, giving the safety instructions and connecting the guests to Q’otar, so that they can take to the skies.

### Songs of the Arbori

Arbori musicians come out and march through Adventure Isle, singing and performing music. When they come to a platform stage, they perform and bring in audience members to join in. At the end of the show, they march out in a line the same way they came in.

Garrett Reed

**Professor Garrett Reed** is the main character of the Jungle River Cruise: Curse of the Emerald Trinity Halloween overlay at Hong Kong Disneyland's Jungle Cruise in 2015.

## Background

Garrett Reed was an archaeologist known for unethical practices and an obsession with forbidden knowledge and immortality accused of being primarily a self-interested grave robber after a controversial Egyptian expedition. In 1929, his membership in the Society of Explorers and Adventurers was revoked by Lord Henry Mystic, with the organization seeking to revoke his memberships from other organizations.

Reed also developed a rivalry with archaeologist Indiana Jones, after seeking to loot a golden idol in Peru, presumably to sell on the black market to fund his lifestyle. Jones was able to keep the idol out of private hands and place it under scientific research, but Reed got away.

By December 8, 1932, Reed was on the run from the authorities while seeking out his greatest obsession: The Emerald Trinity, a cursed set of jewels said to grant immortality to whoever could get them out of their native jungle alive. He stole a boat from the Jungle Navigation Company to steal two of these jewels only to be murdered by animate vines protecting the emeralds.

## Appearances and allusions

### Jungle River Cruise: Curse of the Emerald Trinity

Curse of the Emerald Trinity focused around Reed's former partner, the Navigator, leading an expedition down river to find him and take back the cursed gems. When arriving at his camp, shadows from inside show Reed being killed by the cursed jungle vines consuming him and taking the gem back. After this incident, the Navigator reveals they have one of the other gems and the curse begins to target our boat.

## Connections

### Indiana Jones

Garrett Reed was rivals with Indiana Jones and competed with him for the Chachapoyan Fertility Idol from the films.

### Mystic Manor

## Trivia

* Curse of the Emerald Trinity implies Reed to have competed with Jones for the Fertility Idol from *Raiders of the Lost Ark* (1981) years before Jones actually found the idol. It is likely that this was simply another Peruvian golden idol which Jones sought after.

Galactic Federation Prisoner Teleport Center

**The Galactic Federation Prisoner Teleport Center** is the setting of the defunct Tomorrowland attraction *Stitch's Great Escape*.

## Description

The *Galactic Federation Prisoner Teleport Center* was a facility in Outer Space (or at-least a non Earth astrological body) operated by the United Galactic Federation. The facility was used to temporarily and indefinitely hold prisoners of the federation who were sent there via teleportation devices such as the *X-S Series 1000 Teleportation Tube* manufactured by the evil alien corporation *X-S Tech*.

## History

The *Galactic Federation Prisoner Teleport Center* was created by the Grand Councilwoman of the United Galactic Federation in the federation's year, " 2004" which is of unknown correlation to Earth time. A chart of days since past escapes identified the facility as having been escape free for 213157 days (approximately 584 years; assuming the daylight cycle resembles those of Earth). Given the c. 2002 setting of *Lilo & Stitch*, this would mean that at-least in Earth years, the facility has been operational since at-least around the year 1418.

By the early 2000s, the facility utilized technology from the shady, interstellar corporation X-S Tech and had a minimal amount of dangerous prisoners sent to it. This changed when the illegal genetic experiment *Experiment 626* was sent to the centre by Captain Gantu of the Galactic Armada. Stitch managed to escape his captivity by hijacking his teleportation tube to take him to the planet Earth. Stitch landed in the state of Florida where he began to cause chaos.

## Appearances and allusions

### Stitch's Great Escape

The *Galactic Federation Prisoner Teleport Center* served as the setting for this attraction with guests entering it and being greeted by screens and audio of individuals such as the Grand Councilwoman, Captain Gantu and Pleakley.

Following this, Stitch was teleported to the facility and guests had to guard him.

## Connections

### ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter

## Trivia

* While the teleport centre is cannon to the Tomorrowland mythos and is accessed from the *Avenue of Planets* in Tomorrowland, the facility is explicitly not located on Earth nor Tomorrowland but rather in space.

Colonel Hathi is an Indian elephant in the 19th century which was domesticated and used within the Maharajah's 5th Pachyderm Brigade. According to Hathi, he was once awarded the *Victoria Cross*, for bravery above and beyond the call of duty though the validity of this claim is unknown. By unknown means, Hathi found his way to the jungles of India where he became a wild elephant.

In the jungle, Hathi met and fell in love with a female Indian elephant named Winifred, and they had a son named Hathi, Jr. By the 1890s, Hathi became the self-appointed Colonel and leader of the "Jungle Patrol," which was strict and militaristic. Their job was patrolling the jungle and keeping the jungle safe.
