"The documents have been deciphered and it's time to send you into the fire. Unfortunately for you, that is not a euphemism. MorcuCorp is interested in a strain of Flame Fruits that grow in the Tomb of the Burning Sands. I believe they plan to use it to help develop some kind of post-Atomic propulsion drive. Use this key to enter the tomb and gather some of these Fruits. It's bound to be hot in there so you might want to bring some Shower In a Can."
Following the instructions, Jessica entered the Pyramid of the Burning Sands and placed the keystone in the lock.
Once inside, one of the first things she has to do is dive into one of those diving holes his father had told her so much about. She didn't like the idea at all, but he had no choice but to do so
She's already at the other side. What a dip! Now he has to get rid of the water that got into his ears.
The next day, Jessica starts to search for the fruits... Oh, no, something hit her when she tried to look inside the sarcophagus.
"Really? Dad didn't mention this would be so violent".
When she recovered from the hit, she tried again and this time she managed to open the sarcophagus. In it she found dried food and other treasures, but not the fruits.
In the basement of the pyramid she found a chest with more treasures.
And one more chest, but still no Flame Fruit. It turns out the plants were in that same basement but they had not yet produced their fruits, so Jessica was unable to harvest them. It'll have to be on another trip.
She's already outside the pyramid, now she has to go and inform what happened. Hopefully they'll give her the opportunity to complete the quest later.
Jessica called the MorcuCorp agent, no problem, they'll wait until the frutis grow and she'll pick them up on a second trip. Good thing cause she's exhausted, all she wants is to return home with Royce and her little son Bryce. Before going back to the camp she stops at the market for a cool drink. Boy, was it hot inside that pyramid!
She swam as well in the pool to relax, she read a cooking recipes book...
And she had fun with her new friend from the relic store.
On her way to the airport, Jessica saw a strange light in the sky.
She got a little closer to watch above the dunes and... But what is that? Perhaps it is an alien? It's better not to try to find out. Jessica runs all the way back to the base camp.
Back at home. There's a lot to do there, so Jessica leaves her adventure for later and dedicates herself completely to little Bryce -whom she missed like hell-, to Royce and to her photograpy career. There will be time for more adventures later.
