Summary
Background
The Meet
Titan and Gulliver get called to meet Thalia Sandival at a bar. She explains that she is willing to pay 5 000.- Nuyen for pictures of bronze artiffacts and daggers that belong to Sheikh Mustafa Al-Saadun. She knows her offer is below market value and explains that another person is interested in pictures of another part of the Shaikh's collection and that said person would be willing to pay signifficantly more money. To meet that person, the runners are instructed to visit Carleton Moreau in his office in the Zephyr-South Multi-Use building, in Redmond.
On the way to Carleton's office, the runners see "flashbacks" and realize that they are part of an ongoing divination and guess that opposing forces have already noticed that they will cross paths.
At Carleton's office, he introduces the runners to Marjo-Riita Lehtisalo. Prof. Lehtisalo wants a picture of the ancient stone tablet from the tomb of Queen Puabi in order to test (prove) her hypothesized relation between Guitan languagage and Sumerian language. The tablet is a part of Sheikh Mustafa Al-Saadun's collection which is scheduled to be evaluated together with the other artiffacts that Thalia is interested in by Salzburg Underwriters, an insurance company. This could be a good opportunity to get the necessary picture of the tablet.
Professor Doctor Andrea Al-Laham of the Univeresity of Mannheim, History & Zentrum für Wirtschaftsforschung, is a licenced magician specialized in arco-archaneology and price dynamics in thin markets. She is has been hired by Salzburg Underwriters to value the Sheikh's artifacts. She will do this remotely from Mannheim, AGS, where she lives and works.
After meeting with Prof. Lehisalo and Carleton, the runners go next door and visit Mary Maryann Clay for Devination
