Meet the adventurers
#1 Juan Ortega
≪ My dear son. The time has finally come to introduce him to his very first adventure without me. He is now 15 years old, but Juan he’s really sharp and can very well take care of himself. He is certainly more responsible than his old man! ≫
#2 Ainnlun “Ann” Brown
≪ Mr. Ning, from the Beijing Library, suggested Ms. Brown’s name to me as the best ancient linguist in the square, and chines isn’t even her mother tongue! I think Professor Brown is the perfect figure to translate those ideograms engraved on the bone. ≫
#3 Brandon O’Connor
≪ Ah, what memories! This young man reminds me a lot of myself when I was younger: passionate, ready for anything, promising...and rather unlucky. I immediately took him to heart; he deserves recognition. I don't want him to go through what I went through. ≫
#4 Noah Murphy
≪ Brandon has told me all about Noah, his inseparable companion. I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting him, but from the way Brandon talks about him he sounds like a capable and intelligent young man. Despite his age he already has a Bachelor’s Degree in History. ≫
#5 Matt Corral
≪ Last year I gave permission to a film production company to shoot some scenes of their movie on my land in Texas. It was a very exciting experience and I had the chance to meet the lead actor, Mr. Corral. Chatting with him, he told me that he is a skilled stunt man and has also worked as a bodyguard in the past. He might be a good fit for me. ≫
#6 Robert Dalson
≪ Mr. Corral would only be convinced if he was filmed in the field by an assault cameraman, so I viewed numerous applications and Mr. Dalson's resume was a perfect fit with what I was looking for: filming at high altitude, at 120 km/h on a motorcycle, plus he has a camera signed by Ridley Scott! ≫
#7 Joe Dean Day
≪ Didn't he owe me a favor? Better book him to be sure he’ll be available during the expedition period. My adventurers could use someone of his caliber. Let's not forget the dear old Jack's bad luck! ≫
≪ And by the way, this is me, Jack Watson. An old Texas magnate, head of the First Watson Expedition. The agency’s dream becomes more and more real. That life-long dream. ≫
Jack Watson, 1992
