In Campanilla, Columbia…

Jack Archer (embarrassed): <Name>, we had adventures of Olympic proportions in Rio. And I don’t just mean my little hallucinogenic trip. But I could use a reminder about our new mission…

Armand Dupont: We’re in Campanilla, Columbia! The village was named after a beautiful 12th-century bell, or “campana” in Spanish!  It is located in the tower behind is!

Carmen Martinez: Dupont, there’s no time for a guided tour! We’ve come to Campanilla because of another Spanish word: SOMBRA!

Carmen: According to an old flyer we found in Rio, and the testimony of Hector Montoya…

Carmen: SOMBRA may have started in the village, many years ago, as a circle of intellectuals!

Dupont: All the more reason to study Campanilla thoroughly! If SOMBRA started here, we’re bound to find something on El Rey, too!

Jack: El Rey? I don’t know, are we sure that dude’s even alive? He must be older than dirt! And if h-

DUNNNNNNG!

Jack: <Name>, did you hear that? My ears are still ringing!

Carmen: It came from that old bell tower over there! <Name>, let’s see what’s going on!

Chapter 1

Investigate Old Bell Tower

 Jack (shocked): Oh my God! Michelle!

Jack: <Name>, we need to get her to the hospital!

Carmen: Jack… She’s not breathing. That bell crushed her. It’s too late.

Jack (angry): But she can’t be dead! She left the office just five minutes ahead of us… And she was fine!

Carmen: She was fine… until she was killed! Look at that rope <Name>’s found! Someone cut the bell down! We should examine that rope for forensic clues!

Jack: Michelle was murdered?! But who could’ve done this?!

Carmen: I don’t know, but that ferry ticket might tell us! Let’s run that flash code through the database and see who bought it!

Carmen: We’ve walked into SOMBRA’s turf. I guess we can’t be too surprised that they greeted us by killing Michelle…

Carmen: In fact, <Name>’s right: this only confirms that we’re close to a breakthrough! There’s something, or somebody, in Campanilla that SOMBRA doesn’t want us to find!

Jack (Surrendered): But this is insane, <Name>! As if being betrayed by a mole wasn’t enough, now they had to kill our agent, too?

Carmen: We’ll have to mourn her later. Jack, take Michelle’s body to the morgue. Tell the team no one should wonder off alone. <Name> and I will start the investigation!

Examine Cut Rope

Carmen: <Name>, you’ve collected some brown leaves from the rope that suspended the bell! Lars will help us figure out who cut it down!

Examine Ferry Ticket

Carmen: <Name>, the flash code on the ferry ticket from the crime scene identified a passenger: Alejandro Pratx!

Carmen: You’re right, we’ve heard that name before… Alejandro Pratx is SOMBRA! He sailed their ship to Antarctica in the 1950’s.

Carmen: In Argentina, you arrested Pratx’s granddaughter. She was frantically loyal to SOMBRA, and refused to tell us what became of her grandfather…

Carmen: We later learned Alejandro went to Luzaguay, but there we lost track of him again.

Carmen: You’re right, <Name>, Alejandro Pratx clearly has a long history with SOMBRA! I wonder what brings him to Campanilla now, but in a small village like this, he won’t be hard to find!

Question Alejandro Pratx about his visit to Campanilla

Carmen: Senor Pratx, are you the Alejandro Pratx who sailed a ship to Antarctica back in the 1950’s?

Alejandro Pratx (saluting): Yes, I am! At your service, <Rank><Name>.

Alejandro: I’m surprised anybody’d remember that old exploration! A ferry trip is all I can manage these days!

Carmen: No need to be modest, Senor Pratx. You and your family have managed to do quite a lot for SOMBRA. Is that what brings you to Campanilla, too?

Alejandro: SOMBRA?! <Rank><Name>, those daredevil days are behind me! It was time for the youth to take over!

Alejandro: I’m just an old man visiting his birthplace, <Rank><Name>. At my age, climbing up to the bell tower is a thrilling adventure.

Carmen: “Thrilling” is one way to put it. One of our agents has just been killed there. 

Alejandro: I’m sorry to hear that, <Rank><Name>. Looks like not everyone’s lucky enough to live to be my age!

(After talking to Alejandro Pratx)

Carmen: <Name>, I’ll eat my badge if Pratx is “an old man visiting his birthplace,” like he said!

Carmen (clueless): He makes no secret of his SOMBRA affiliations! And why would he come home now, after a lifetime of laying low in South America?

Carmen: Tell you what: he’s exactly how I picture El Rey! Old, arrogant, good at giving orders and better at dodging questions. But if he killed Michelle, it’ll be the end of his hiding!

Carmen (confused): But you’re right, we haven’t had a look around the village square yet. We were here when we heard the bell fall… Let’s go back there now!

Investigate Marketplace

Carmen: <Name>, I don’t get how this lost wallet is going to lead us to Michelle’s killer, but go on ahead, check for an ID!

Carmen: That antique coin is a less common thing to lose! Let’s see if we can lift some skin cells off the surface!

Carmen: <Name>, Michelle’s dead, but we’re already on the killer’s trail! They’ll be sorry to have messed with our partner!

Examine Wallet

Carmen (shocked): <Name>, what’s Michelle’s old business card doing in this wallet?!

Carmen (clueless): That means the wallet’s owner knew Michelle! What are the chances-

(Dona Isabel Amarga appears)

Isabel: Por Dios, that’s my wallet! Give it back or I’ll call the police!

Carmen (showing her badge): Don’t worry, Ma’am, we ARE the police. And we need to have a word with you!

Examine Antique Coin

Carmen: <Name>, let’s put that skin cell example from the antique coin under the microscope!

Examine Skin Cell Sample

Carmen: <Name>, the DNA on the antique coin you picked up at the marketplace matched a certain Ignacio Munoz!
