Death as Old as Time/Transcript

In the year 2029...

Chief Christopher Scott: , good to have you on the team of time traveling detectives!

Chief Scott: Explanations will have to wait. There's a time disturbance in Ancient Egypt, in Cleopatra's palace. Report to the time machine!

Aboard the time machine...

Jack: , welcome on board! We're set to travel to Cleopatra's magnificent palace in 47 BCE, or Before Current Era!

Jack: We're ready to take off in 3... 2... 1...

WHOOOOSH!

In 47 BCE...

Jack: We've arrived in Ancient Egypt, ! Time to put on our disguise and jump into our cloaked shuttle.

Jack: Oh, and remember to put a multilingual translator chip beyond your ear so we can talk with locals! And now to Cleopatra's palace!

Chapter 1
Investigate Throne Room.

Jack Archer: , how do I look in Roman armor? We have to wear this to blend in, since in 47 BCE, Egypt was Rome's protectorate...

Jack: Oh wait, you're right! That's a dead body! And not just ANY dead body, that's Julius Caesar! Rome's most famous ruler!

Jack (looking at his tablet): But he shouldn't be dead yet! The brief says Julius Caesar was stabbed to death in the Senate of Rome, in 44 BCE - that is, three years from now!

Jack: So, Chief Scott was right: there IS a time disturbance in Ancient Egypt. Someone stabbed Caesar three years early!

Jack: History doesn't just change itself. Either an illegal time traveler did this... or they convinced someone to commit the murder. So now-

Cleopatra: What's this commotion in my throne room? What-

Cleopatra: Oh no! Caesar! He's... he's dead!

Cleopatra: You, Roman centurions, explain!

Jack: Um, Your Majesty, we... don't know what happened. We were patrolling when we found the great Caesar here... ahem... stabbed in the back.

Jack: But we will find out who did this to Caesar, Your Highness! You can count on Centurion  and myself!

Cleopatra: You'd better make good on your promise, Romans. Or else I'll feed you to the crocodiles!

Jack: Of course! Your Grace... Queen... we'll need to talk to you about this murder. We can come find you later, of course.

Jack: , Cleopatra believed we were Roman centurions! And better yet, she's given us permission to investigate. We're off to a good start!

Jack: First, we'll discreetly get the body to our time machine. Janis, our coroner, will do the autopsy on board.

Jack: Meanwhile, we'll do some old-fashioned detective work, like piecing that broken pottery back together!

Jack: Once we find the killer, we'll be able to fix the timeline and secure our present! Let's find out who stabbed Julius Caesar!

Ask Queen Cleopatra if she's seen anything.

Jack: Okay, . We gotta be careful when talking to incredibly powerful historical figures, like Cleopatra. She mustn't suspect we're not Romans!

Jack: The good thing is, Cleopatra wants to find Caesar's killer. You see, the queen of Egypt and the Roman conqueror were lovers!

Jack: Alright, let's keep this short, and try not to anger her. Queens are fickle!

A few minutes later...

Cleopatra: This is outrageous! Completely barbaric!

Cleopatra: Caesar's murder is a personal attack. And I swear by Osiris that it won't go unpunished!

Jack: That is why we're here. We want to find Caesar's killer as much as you do, Your Highness. Did you notice anything unusual in the throne room today?

Cleopatra: No, the assassin must have snuck into my place unnoticed! Just when my most trusted guard decided to go to the market, leaving me defenseless!

Jack: There's a market nearby, Divine Highness?

Cleopatra: You've never been to the market before, Centurion? It is just outside the palace.

Cleopatra: That is where Caesar's assassin must have escaped... And they may very well come back and kill me next!

Jack: Certainly not! Centurion  and I shall catch them first! Let us hurry to the market! We bid you farewell, Queen!

Investigate Marketplace.

Jack: , Cleopatra was right: the only way in and out of her palace is through this market. D'you see anything the killer might've left behind?

Jack: Good thinking, that basket was clearly knocked over... maybe by our fleeing killer! Let's have a look through it!

Jack: And I'd be curious to see what the deal with this portrait of Cleopatra is. Think you can retrieve the rest of it?

Jack: As for this belt, it looks expensive... It could belong to someone from the palace!

Jack: You're right, we've got a handy portable database of ancient artifacts. Let's have a discreet look and see if you can find a match for the belt!
