Okay everyone, here's the situation as I see it...
This phase of the Travelling Indy Project is at an end. The figure that we passed between us is unlikely to be recovered and for all intents and purposes must be considered lost. We've (Pale Horse, Stoo and I) exhausted all reasonable avenues of investigation to retrieve Indy without success. While The Drifter signed-on with the best of intentions, he has apparently encountered personal issues which mean that his participation in our trivial game is far down his list of priorities. Let's leave the explanation at that.
However, the spirit of the Travelling Indy Project lives on. While the loss of the original figure breaks continuity to an extent, it by no means negates the goal. I started this adventure to bring together a group of disparate individuals, united by their membership of The Raven (and love of the Indy films), by using Travelling Indy as a prop through which they could tell the story of themselves and their locales. From Billy Ray in Afghanistan to Stoo in Switzerland and Lance in Culver City (and all the notable stops in-between), I think it's been a huge success.
So, we continue. I'll replace the figure (customised so as to differentiate it from the original). My intent is to restart the journey in the New Year. I openly welcome your collective thoughts on how we can avoid this situation again in the future, how best to memorialise the amazing content that has come before, and your applications to host the good Doctor.
And maybe, just maybe, the original will resurface. He's been "lost" and recovered before as Rocket Surgeon will attest...
