Circa 2015, a team of tree-huggers team up with salmon-huggers whale-huggers, climate change huggers, etc. to protest the cutting of the "last virgin rain forest" on the West Coast of Canada.
British Columbia Forest Service replies:"Boilerplate! That fjord was clear-cut back in 1941. Provincial archives show that we granted logging permits to the ABC Logging Company. Here are receipts for stump age fees paid to the province, receipts from the saw mill, ships' logs, etc."
A muck-raking film-crew visits the fjord in question and finds a mysterious "Rising Sun" chiselled into a cliff. The cliff over-looks rotted, rusting moorings for a floating logging camp. No other traces of the logging barges can be found. Core samples confirm that the largest trees are hundreds of years old.
Meanwhile searches of Imperial Japanese Navy archives hint at missions to set up radio relay stations along the west coast of Canada.
