Icarus strolls through the tomb like it ain't no thang, looking for that secret passage

[Kansa]

Icarus walked through the tomb, it was as you would expect. Coffins rested in the walls and the air was stale, something would catch her eye though as she searched for the passage. It was an archway, golden words were carved expertly into it. They said Here lie the contracted of Salim. As the robot passed the archway though she would Alice's panicked voice in her head,
<They're heading down to where you were going.>

[Akroma]

<Hmm, magical alarm systems..>

Icarus heads to the secret passage as fast as she can, and hides in it. Probably only the high priest knows of it.

Dalia goes and sits down on the obvious plot advancement bench by the lake. She spends her time in silent reflection, watching the wildlife in the area and feeling absolutely miserable. Though she'd be lying if she said that her mood wasn't improving slightly.

"I hope you realize that I'm relentless, and will find out what you know about my future."
Linda messes with something on the side of her helmet.

[Kansa]

<Hurry>
Icarus rushed through the archway, desperately trying to find the secret passage way. It was a close thing, she would hear the sound of footsteps and of voices just before she pressed the key block in the wall. The wall slid open and Icarus slipped inside, the wall closed itself just as the priests came through the archway.


Dalia would sit there for a while alone and peaceful, after a while though a man walked towards her. The suit that he was wearing was black, matching the colour of his hair that was cut short. His eyes were a dull grey and he fixed these on Dalia as he noticed her. Without hesitation he walked towards her and sat down on the grass beside the bench.

[Akroma]

<Hmm, if there is evidence, it is probably not in the high priests room though. He has access to a secret passage, leading into the katacombs, which are sealed off. Damnit, it would be in the coffins. But now that the alarm has gone off, they will know I have been here, so he would move the evidence...hmm...I wonder if they would try to execute me if I just pretend I was grave robbing. Oh well, I'll have to get a closer look at the coffins, once the priests are gone.>

[Kansa]

<Are you sure?> there was a slight hesitation through the link <It's not a good idea to dig up corpses like that>

[Akroma]

<I will scan them first. At close range I should even be able to pick up documents.>

[USEC_OFFICER]

At least the man was silent and didn't try to make friendly conversation with her, perhaps because of how gloomy Dalia looks. She shuffles over on the bench, not to offer him a place to sit, but to put more space between them so that she can brood in relative isolation. She wasn't about to ask him to leave, seeing as it is a public park and that would involve actually talking to the man.

[Kansa]

<Ok> It took a while for the sounds of the priests to fade away, eventually they did however leaving Icarus in complete and utter silence.

The man did not make a move, only looking towards Dalia as she pulled back. Eventually though the man pulled out a sketchbook, with a pencil in hand he began to move it over the paper.

[Akroma]

Icarus gives the catacombs a quick scan to be sure they are empty, then, because it is the logical choice, heads to the biggest, most important seeming sarcophagus and scans the contents

[USEC_OFFICER]

Eventually Dalia's curiosity overtakes her, and so she snaps out of her brooding for a couple moments to see what the man is doing. He's probably just sketching the wildlife in the park, but she'll never know unless she looks. Which is what she's doing right now.

[Kansa]

The priests were still in the tombs they had moved away from searching in this area however, if Icarus still wanted to investigate she would find the largest tomb at the very end of the passageway that had been through the arch. It was clear that whoever this belonged to had been incredibly important, it even had it's own gold lettering marking it's alcove.
The contract can be both a curse and a blessing. She can detect the body in there and also what seemed like a small book.

The man was indeed sketching the lake, even from the start of the drawing Dalia could tell that he was skilled. His pencil continued to move until he appeared to notice Dalia looking at him, he paused for a moment and then finally spoke.
"It's beautiful here isn't it?"
