The year is 1713, and the European age of exploration has turned into an era of colonial expansion as empires skirmish across every ocean and island within their domains.
Your name is Leendert Hasenbosch and you are in the process of enrolling as a soldier in the Dutch East India Company in the port town of Enkhuizen.

//Leendert Hassenbosch is taken into custody for sodomy charges and one week later, in an off the books case is taken to Ascension Island. With just a month’s supply of water, a tent, a toolbox, some clothes, seeds, and writing materials, he must survive on his own. However, after six months on the island, most of it spent with severe blistering burns and unsuccessful searches for water, Hassebasch disappears. When the British find his encampment and diary, they realize that he had survived as long as he had only by drinking turtle blood and urine, and eating their eggs.
The British presume him dead in January of 1726 and publish his diary shortly after. But his body was never found. Maybe, just maybe, he found a way out…

//Leendert Hassenbosch is taken into custody for sodomy charges and one week later, in an off the books case, is marooned on Ascension Island. With just a month’s supply of water, a tent, a toolbox, some clothes, seeds, and writing materials, he must survive on his own. After months of living off of turtle blood, turtle eggs, and urine, a British ship comes to his rescue. But behold, they read his diary and find evidence of sodomy! They immediately take him to prison, where his fate is unknown to this day, his diary only discovered recently, his life concealed.//
