The polite not of the respectable Lord Major was returned by Mahendra, still tempted to give the officer a proper soldier's salute out of habit back during the war, but the social etiquette forbade him to do so. No man out of uniform was to salute, not even around the King himself. So the Bengali had to satisfy his need for social interaction to that polite nod, letting Neema take over the conversation as she continued to question the bloodline of the Keystone family. It wasn't in his place to question the relation between Vera, Peter or Reginald, even if it did puzzle him. 

No. Instead Mahendra turned his attention to the set of keys he was still holding in his hand; The keys to the archives, which they were heading. What esoteric treasures of a past eons old lay within the secure space of the Museum? And more interesting to Mahendra, did they have any curious samples of the geographical lay-out of their expeditions destination? As he raised the keys towards the door, Mahendra gave a brief look to the Lord Major. [color=007236]"It might become a little crowded down there, but if you so wish, there is little reason for you having to wait for us out here, Sir. Does my position as assistant put enough weight behind such a permission?"[/color]

Haakon on his part continued to follow in silence as the group progressed to the archives. Unlike Mahendra, Haakon could sense a anticepation as to dwelve into an archive containing ancient knowledge. As a journalist, digging through archives was not something uncommon to him, but he rarely went back further than a generation or two, not centuries or perhaps millenia in the past. 

Was there even the slighest chance that he would be able to take a sneak peak at anything of interest down there? Something worty of a news article back home? Certainly, especially with the craze of everything Egyptian blazing across the world. The real question was if he was allowed to by his companions; especially the Lord Major and Vera. The thought of publishing something without a name, or even under a pseudonym crossed his mind, but with his luck as late it was certain that it would come back to bite him in the butt later. Was such a risk worth taking?

But what about the story? If he dug deep enough, there must have been something he could find.[/quote]

Josephine stepped outside of her own thoughts for a moment when the woman with them asked the Lord Major about his relationship with Lady Munn and Peter. She, herself, had to stifle a fit of laughter at her question. Truth be told, Josephine hadn't put two and two together, but it was funny to think about it and it added a new line in their relationships. However, the Lord Major answered and made things clear. Still, you would think it would be easier on those less involved if you called them by the right title. Silly English people she supposed...

Josephine was growing a bit impatient, but things seemed to be moving along regardless. She wanted to get this chore done and out of the way. She waited for the group to follow along before she walked. She was thinking about her plans for the evening. Because she did have plans, one could be sure of that. Things looked to be on the up and up. All that was left was to ask Lady Munn her questions and then she would be able to enjoy her festivities with Ahkmed.

[color=00ccff][b]Skills:[/b][/color] N/A[hr][/center]Nora did find it quite curious that they locations of the offices kept moving. Wouldn't it be simpler for things to remain in one spot? She couldn't fathom a reason for the constant relocation of government facilities. The only plausible explanation was that they simply desired a change of scenery. Yet as she followed after Lady Munn, her mind was still mulling over the previous problem. There was a connection she had stumbled upon - one that may very well be nothing more than pure nonsense. It was a silly notion to think that the circumstances of one's birth somehow dictated their personality and destiny - it was coincidence that she shared so many traits with the Nile. 

But yet, coincidence was rare - the universe was rarely ever so lazy. As a mathematician, she felt it was her duty to pursue this line of reasoning to its logical conclusion. As much as she wished to engage Vera in the conversation she seemed inclined to - that of Peter - her mind was elsewhere. [color=00ccff]"I must apologize if I seem distant, Lady Munn. I have been considering a hypothesis of odd consequence,"[/color] Nora explained. There was information she would need to acquire about the others experiencing these strange occurrences - information that could easily appear laughable to one such as Lady Munn, a woman of science and reasoning. 

Nora had to remind herself that she [i]too[/i] was logical. There was no reason why she should be ashamed of this theory. [color=00ccff]"Once we have acquired the needed permits, I believe there are questions we must ask the others involved in this happening. If my theory is correct, I may be able to understand why certain occurrences only happened to certain individuals..."[/color] Nora confessed. In order to keep Lady Munn's privacy, as well as the others, she did not explicitly state the brandings and the necklaces by name. Of course, she was also one of the few to have not yet signed a confidentiality agreement. [/quote]

[color=f7976a][b]Shepheards Hotel:[/b][/color] Rosheen chuckled as she got the motorcycle parked and everything situated. Inside the hotel, Hakeem was still at the counter doing his job. Helping an older couple get settled in and handing their keys over to a bell hop before they were on their way. Rosheen walked in and looked around, letting Mosi take care of her business. 

When Hakeem spotted Mosi he smiled brightly at her. "Ma'am, you have returned. I do hope that your day has been going well in our city. We have your room all ready. It is room 2161 on the second floor. All of your luggage has already been taken up to the room and set on racks for you. And here is your key," he said as he stepped out from behind the desk and handed it over to her. "Is there anything else I can do for you today?"

[color=f7976a][b]Egyptian Museum:[/b][/color] Neema rolled her lips in and chuckled to herself a bit. "Then perhaps you need to let people know. Otherwise anyone who doesn't know you personally will assume as I did," the old woman quipped before looking over at Mahendra and smiling. "Thank you, such a gentleman," she added before stepping into the Archives. 

"Oh I worked for the museum for nearly twenty years. About a life time ago," she said to Lauren as she looked over to her. "I was there for many of the digs. I only wish I had not missed out on KV 62." Turning she looked at the rows. "They could be anywhere but I suggest that we check rows 5VbC, 19TTF, and 23RTS. We should split up. They would in a crate marked with the eye of Horus and Bubastis underneath it." Taking a breath she pointed in two directions for 5Vbc and 23RTS before heading straight down the main row. "I will check 19TTF."

[color=f7976a]"I look forward to going over your findings once we re a better location for it. It will be nice to speak freely amongst peers instead of being ridiculed by them because I care not to discuss this seasons floral patterns,"[/color] Vera said as she looked over towards Nora. She was truly enjoying the womans company. Not only did it distract her from the entire William situation. Why he was acting like such a clot was beyond her but she hoped it would cease quickly. Then there the being courted by Peter. While she did care for him deeply she had not ever thought to wed but he seemed to be pressing for them to be something. She had made a promise and she would not break her word. 

Nora though was not only good for distraction but she felt a kinship with the woman she hadn't with others of her gender before. Able to speak intelligently with her instead of heaving breaths and batting of eyes and fanning of chests. She despised the ton but there was nothing to be done about it. 

"أيمكنني مساعدتك؟" A man asked from behind the counter. 

Veras head turned sharply. She had not even heard him approach. He was in his middle years, most likely around forty and looked far older in the eyes than he probably should have. Yet she could only imagine how dead she would feel inside if she was forced to sit here day after day in a government office. The library, while educational, could even become boring. She longed to be in the field and hopefully today would be the first day of that. Thankfully she spoke the language but because Nora was there she stuck to English for now. 

[color=f7976a]"Yes, we are here on behalf of the Egyptian Museum to acquire a permit to execute an excavation at Bubastis. I am Lady Vera Munn, Librarian at Antiquities, and this is my colleague, Lady Nora Kingston, Mathematician and Research Assistant."[/color][/quote]

Lauren looked over her shoulder towards Reginald as he started to give Neema information that she was curious about, it did sound confusing to her at first as well but she listened to him. She wondered how thiBubastisngs were doing at the permit office currently, as Lauren watched Mahendra opening up the door to the archives for them Lauren followed Neema in shortly after her. [color=#75e8fb]"Thank you sir."[/color] Lauren said in a friendly voice as she walked into the room looking over at the various shelves that contained all of the artifacts that were there. When Neema answered her question, twenty years was certainly a very long time to actually work as an archeologist at the many digs and working in the museum as well.[color=#75e8fb] "I'm sure you have a lot of stories that i'd love to hear sometime."[/color] Lauren said giving Neema a friendly smile, she was pretty interested in the culture and the history of Egypt as well.

Lauren looked towards the various shelves as Neema gave the three specific ones to search for the missing tablets that Vera was needing them to find. [color=#75e8fb]"I'll take the   23RTS one then."[/color] Lauren said looking towards those that were there, before heading down to the shelf that was marked  23RTS, having an idea now that she was looking for anything with the Eye of Horus on it or the Bubastis marked on it. Her eyes slowly scanning up and down the shelves for any of the ones with the markings that Neema mentioned while quietly humming to herself.[/quote]
