As the sweltering heat of the Calcutta sun beats down upon the marketplace, your senses slowly begin to stir, pulling you out of unconsciousness. Your eyes flutter open to colors and sounds that around you in your dizzying display. After several minutes, you finally gathered your strength and were able to stand up. Your vision stopped swimming and you headed for what you came for.
You were in India on a mission; as an indologist, you had been invited to assist in the search for a missing diplomat, an endeavor shrouded in mystery.
You make your way through the chaotic streets to the embassy, where the stark contrast of its serene interior stands as a sanctuary against the streets outside. Here, you meet Mr. Rose, head of the search team—a man with eyes who have already seen a lot and a voice that commands attention without raising its volume.
In a quiet corner of the embassy, amidst books and artifacts that speak of India's rich heritage, stands Lima, the criminologist whose reputation precedes her. Her gaze is piercing yet not unkind as she sizes up you with a sad eye.
"Lima Berg." Lima begins with a nod, introducing herself. "I'm a criminologist." she continues talking, her tone was quiet, she avoided eye contact and looked rather sad.
Your eyes widen in disbelief. Criminologist? But why is she here? Aren't you just trying to find a missing person? You turn to Killian, ready to bombard him with a barrage of questions.
