You were reluctant to undertake another adventure with Professor d'Squarius, especially after the last near-catastrophe. Escaping from the Tomb of the Screaming Mummies had been treacherous enough, but then to have to go back inside because the professor lost his keys in some snake pit? Frankly, you had begun to question whether his treasure hunts were worth it.
But the professor spoke persuasively about this new quest -- "for untold riches!" he claimed -- and, in the end, you agreed to join the expedition. Since then, things have gone exactly the way they always do: horribly.
You tried to tell the professor that bringing a harpoon into an inflatable lifeboat was a bad idea. But, like always, he dismissed your objections with the usual "you're just the teenage sidekick" line. And now YOU are the one stranded on a remote tropical island with no clear way of getting back to civilization.
And the amazing treasure you were originally seeking? The professor never explained precisely what it was.
