Now the Game's REALLY Afoot

I only ever took the Prince of Egypt case by way of a break from the city, really.  I never expected it to be particularly interesting or time consuming; few cases ever are after all.  As it is, though, I'm not sure I'll ever even make it to Africa.  Things have taken rather an unusual turn.

I don't... know where I am.  I was heading across the sea towards Alexandria in relative comfort, though I must have been abducted in my sleep, as I awoke no more than a few hours later (no appreciable growth of facial hair, only slight dryness of mouth) in a strange stone corridor surrounded by statues. The architecture in this place reflects that of classical Greece, so my best estimate is that I am, at least, still somewhere on the North side of the Mediterranean.  Oddly, my captor deigned to leave my personal affects untouched; it seems this unknown enemy is not afraid of mere firearms.

Luckily (so far) I soon ran into others who shared my predicament (rather a lot of them, in fact).  Whilst Anselm A is exploring and engaging in the tiresome business of combat, Anselm B is rather enjoying the challenge of mentally profiling such a large and varied group.  The time has not come for Anselm C, yet; though I doubt it will be long.  This place reeks of a far greater enemy than mere metal and fire.  And for some reason, fish.

Really need a cigarette; little concerned about the amount of explosives being carried around here, though.
