Julio is visiting a village in New Zealand. He’s checking on a project funded by the Matt Trakker Foundation which helps the people preserve the native way of life. During the welcoming ceremony, everyone is knocked out, and when they awaken, the chief’s back has been covered with some kind of paint. The painting on the chief’s back appears to be a treasure map leading to a cave containing giant sea shells that hold giant pearls.

Conflicts[]
