CF \| You open the unmarked envelope and unfold the mission briefing
CF \| enclosed within: Infiltrate MegaCorp, gain access to the data
CF \| centre, download the database.
CF \|
CF \| So here you are, standing in the foyer of MegaCorp, disguised as a
CF \| repairman.

CF \| The Treasure of the Santa Tortosa
CF \| by Heike Borchers
CF \|
CF \| Some weeks ago at your Adventurers' Society back in London, Keira, the
CF \| rather cute librarian, mentioned a rumour about a mysterious map
CF \| buried on a tiny island with a single palm tree somewhere in the
CF \| Caribbean. Supposedly, the map would lead to the treasure of the
CF \| sunken galleon Santa Tortosa. After much research and a long journey,
CF \| you have arrived on the island, and soon you will see whether those
CF \| rumours were true. Either way, you will definitely have a good story
CF \| to tell at the next Society meeting!
CF \|

CF \| You are standing on a lonely beach in the shadow of a single palm
CF \| tree. Little spots of sunlight are sparkling on the gently rolling
CF \| waves. In the distance you hear some seagulls. A few steps to the
CF \| south the ocean begins. Your ship has left, as your expedition team is
CF \| on its way to other explorations, and will pick you up again
CF \| afterwards.

CF \| The octopus smiles faintly. "You have made your choice, and this

CF \| of the Santa Tortosa. My task is complete, and I look forward to
CF \| finally roaming the reefs again. You may exit now. Farewell!"

CF \| (1) The dwellers of the sea are as calm and peaceful as the ocean.
CF \| The octopus sentinel stood its ground and guarded the treasure without
CF \| harming or threatening me. When I found the password everything was as
CF \| it was meant to be.
CF \|
CF \| (2) Only the huge octopus stood between me and the treasure. This
CF \| dreadful sentinel had guarded the chest for centuries; no living being
CF \| had ever overcome it. Great courage and cunning were necessary to get
CF \| past it and snatch the treasure out of its menacing tentacles!

CF \| Deep Blue
CF \| You are in deep blue water. Here, in the dark ocean, you see a wreck:
CF \| the sunken galleon Santa Tortosa. At the side of the wreck you see a
CF \| hatchway. You can enter the wreck. To the east lies the plankton
CF \| rendezvous. To the north you can see the reef top.
CF \|
CF \| The napoleonfish is here.
CF \|
CF \| After a soft beep, text appears in your visor:

CF \| The reef top is teeming with life. Marine creatures in all shapes and

CF \| On the lonely beach stands a single palm tree. Little spots of
CF \| sunlight are sparkling on the gently rolling waves. In the distance
CF \| you hear some seagulls. A few steps to the south the ocean begins.
CF \| Your ship has returned, anchoring close to the lagoon. Your wristwatch
CF \| displays a final message: BOARD vessel to return to London, report
CF \| to Adventurers' Society, and complete mission.
CF \|
CF \| You can see a piece of paper, a shovel and a trunk here.

CF \|
CF \| The map looks battered and old. The writing has faded over the years,
CF \| but it is still legible:
CF \|
CF \| "Only a bold adventurer can find the treasure of the Santa Tortosa.
CF \| But beware the mighty sentinel that guards it! If you dare, go
CF \| south-south-south. Fortune and eternal truths await you at the end of

CF \|
CF \| Your journey home is pleasantly uneventful.
CF \|
CF \| As soon as your feet touch British soil again, they take you to Keira
CF \| the librarian, who is overjoyed at the beautiful locket you present to
CF \| her. Giving the treasure away in this manner without appraisal of its
CF \| monetary or historical value may not have been the best move for your
CF \| career or financial situation, but it opens her heart to you, and you
CF \| fall madly in love with each other.
CF \|
CF \| When you return your scuba gear and wristwatch to the Quartermaster,
CF \| she is both amazed at your intelligence and a little annoyed that you
CF \| had no need at all to use her latest invention, the built-in
CF \| analytical engine, for any clues.
CF \|
CF \| Two weeks later, you receive a formal invitation letter to speak
CF \| before your fellow members at the Adventurers' Society.
CF \|
CF \| Your presentation amazes and excites the audience. When you finish
CF \| your report, the applause is overwhelming.
CF \|
CF \| Later, at the bar, you hear two esteemed members of the Society
CF \| talking and praising both your courage and talent to spice up stories.
CF \| They look forward to your future reports. If you continue to prove
CF \| yourself, they might even consider proposing you for the Society's
CF \| Hall of Fame. That is something you have been working towards for a
CF \| long time!
