The expedition, consisting of seventeen civilians from all over Ferveo and the IDU and their three local guides, were not heard from twenty-four hours after setting foot into the woods on what was intended to be a four-hour hike.
According to a consortium of cellphone companies, the signals of all eighteen cellphones present on the trek disappeared within seconds of each other. The surrounding land seems to provide no explanations, such as tyre tracks or footprints leading away from the forest that have not already been traced and identified.
Several search parties sent out have turned up no bodies or living people. The EIPD has enacted a full-scale investigation into the disappearance of the hikers, involving hundreds of personnel.
Conspiracy theories have already begun to sprout, ranging from alien abduction to foreign interference to even mutated carnivorous plants.
Regional Police Chief Toby Wise called for calm yesterday in a press conference, and reassured the public that the police were doing "everything in [their] power to find these people".
