The Awa Maru

The legendary treasure of the old Japanese ocean liner, lost to the ocean's depths, has become the stuff of dreams and wild tales. In the 1950s, it met a tragic fate when it was mistaken for a destroyer by the USS Queenfish in the tumultuous waters of the Taiwan Strait. Rumoured to be carrying a staggering treasure valued at over 1 billion—not just gold and platinum, but precious jewels and the invaluable Peking Man fossils, ancient relics that vanished alongside the ship. Now, as a historian and daring adventurer, you've stumbled upon a tantalising lead—ancient manuscripts that hold the key to the mysterious location of the Awa Maru wreckage. These scriptures, penned by the sole survivor of that fateful event, Kantora Shimoda, promise to unveil secrets long buried beneath the waves. Your heart races with anticipation as you prepare for this thrilling escapade into the unknown. Your journey takes you to the vibrant heart of the Ethiopian peninsula, specifically to a bustling restaurant on the outskirts of Addis Ababa. Here awaits your informant, a shadowy figure known only as "Estrella." It's unclear whether that's her real name or just a clever disguise, but one thing is certain—you've invested too much in this quest to turn back now. With your trusted weapon discreetly tucked away, you sit in quiet expectation, all senses heightened, ready to uncover the breathtaking secrets hidden for decades beneath the ocean's surface. Will this meeting lead you to the long-lost treasure, or will it merely be another thread in the tapestry of your grand adventure? The stakes have never been higher, and failure is not an option. Tread carefully, for the path ahead is fraught with danger. Enjoy!
